howdie howdie howdie feliz cumpleanos a alec y gabby esta semana!!

 

This week has been kind of crazy so to start off we had my first zone conference with the President of the Seventy over Central America, Elder Amado.   He was a really nice guy and super good teacher.  He taught us for 5 hours and it of course was all in Spanish and I understood everything except for when my mind wanders it tends to do that when people speak in Spanish for long amounts of time hahaha.  It was also embarrassing because he had me come up and talk in front of 40 missionaries and he had me recite the purpose of the missionary and that was fine I did that good but then he asked what I was going to do with the knowledge I have gained in my area and I pretty much just said a little bit like apply it into my lessons. Then he was like mas and I was thinking for like 30 seconds just sweating and I finally spit out a few more words and he was like how long have you been out?  I say 3 months and he says wow your Spanish was amazing but I know it was out of understanding and sympathy because I asked some latinos after if they understood me and they said no so ugh little frustrating but oh well all in all a good zone conference!!

Me and my comp are genius´!   We have been having mosquito problems these past few weeks and I swear I put on more mosquito repellent and they love the stuff.   So we are just thinking how we can keep them away and we get the genius idea of onions hahahaha so we go buy twenty pounds of onions and for lunch and dinner we eat about two pounds of onions each and the mosquitos are gone no more but I stink sooooooooo bad hahaha but its worth it!!!

Some news on Elias he is being persecuted pretty bad by his friends.   Last night we had a appointment with him and he was with his friends but he left with us and when he did his friends were like vaya chillero va con los mormones #@#$ and we look at him and he is crying so really sad but he didn't look back he came with us.  The leccion turned out good we had a member with us and he pretty much told him his conversion and how he has been persecuted but your salvation is worth a few laughs but I think he is coming along pretty good so ya!!!

We also have a new progressing family se llama Familia Madrid we actually visited them at first when I got there but we decided to drop them but we went back and we taught them and they came to church.   I am really excited for them they are awesome tomorrow we are planning on putting baptism dates with them as well so hopefully all goes well with them they are awesome!!!

Well that's it fam I love you all siga adelante!!!

Love Elder Barker

And yes I have changes this week I find out Saturday.   I think I am leaving but who knows!!!
