cambios, la navidad, BAUTISMO

friends and family another change has happened. and this is probably my weirdest one yet haha so president heaton has decided to close rio de la plata for missionaries for a while he doesnt have enough missionaries and the place is a disaster haha so i have been called to cerro 17 the most dangerous area in the whole mission haha sue dont worry elder harris just got done being there for 4 changes and got out just fine haha but something pretty awesome is that me and elder hall have a baptism this sunday...christmas!! its pretty awesome she is great and really is a good person, she has asked me to baptize her and so she is getting baptized on christmas morning! so i am going to go back to rio de la plata on sunday morning and baptize her and watch her get confirmed it will be the first baptism the area has had in about 2 years...miracle and president heaton and hermana heaton have both decided to come to the baptism so that is pretty awesome!! but it also complicates things a little bit for the phone call i am gonna be pretty complicated on sunday i dont know if i will be in my house here in playa pascual or in my cerro 17 house so i am planning to call you guys at about 4 here so i think thats like 12 there unless you want me to call later??? and from there i will tell you guys the number and you guys will call me right back so i dont have to pay just like we always do :) but yeah so my week was pretty good just teachin mari everything she got an awesome revelation that the book of mormon and just smith was a prophet so its super awesome to feel like im just really doing my job as a missionary and it makes my testimony grow so much more of the church and the growth the church is having worldwide. my new comp is elder barracha i have no idea where he is from to be hoenst with you i think he is from peru but i am not completely sure i am really excited to have a latin comp i think its so much fun to speak spanish day in and day out i really love spanish and am gonna miss speaking it day in and day out. definately something i will keep up when i get home, but yeah i am super excited to talk to you fools on sunday i hope all is well hope you guys have a good dinner and santa clause comes full with presents i cant believe i am about to go through my second christmas as a missionary its a once in a lifetime thing and both mine have almost happened to me, i now know why the lord sends us kids out here to serve him you just learn so much about everything and its just so weird to see also how the lord prepares us for the people we are going to teach before the mission. mari, the lady that is getting baptized on sunday is a sheer latina twin of you sue it reminds me of you so much everytime i talk to her and she always has her kids and kids of her friends running around the house she loves singing, she has the same blunt sense of humor and everything and i really think just i was sent to teach her just cause of the mom god gave me its all pretty crazy and something really really cool to watch happen before my eyes. but yeah thats about it from me i will TALK to you guys on sunday! i will call at about 4 o´clock here and i am excited to here your guys voices and i might have a little skype connection we will see when i call i will tell you to get on skype or just call me!! :) alright fools peace!!!! -elder barton
