I’m not jealous of the SNOW ***

So what’s up everyone!  Christmas is over and the New Year is in 2 days! Hope you all have your new year’s resolutions made.  Mine is to work hard in my new area!  I guess that’s not really a New Year’s resolution haha. But it is a goal that I will start on the New Year.  I wasn’t worried about transfers because I was almost positive that I would be staying for at least one more transfer but that plan failed and I’m going to Trece tomorrow.  Actually both me and my companion are getting pulled out of our area and its being given to the Elders.  It’s because there are too many areas and not enough missionaries so they are putting areas together.  But I always worry a little when I have to give my investigators to Elders.  But I guess Elders are ok and they can probably handle it. 

  This week was good.  We had Christmas and we all opened lots of presets.  It was so fun even though we were far away from home.  Then we skyped!!!!!!!!!!  and then just wandered around to different members houses and got left over dinners.  Because here the big thing is Christmas Eve.  So they all have their big dinners then and so on Christmas its nothing special.  But it was a good day.

   This week Marnela came to church again because she is awesome.  And I’ve been asking her for a long time to check my blood type. So she did.  She used the smallest needle she could so that it wouldn’t hurt.  She was really good at it.  I was impressed. I’m excited to find out the results.  It’s going to be great. 

  So sorry this letter is short. I have packing to do!  I’m excited but I’m so sad to leave Sister Raterta.  She is basically the best. It’s sad because you all don’t get to meet them and know all the stories.  You just have to hear it from me.  So I hope I’m doing a good enough job :)  Love you all.  Have fun staying up late and partying.  I’ll be in bed by 10:30 hah.  Oh the good life of a missionary.  Ok love you all!
