Hey Everyone!

Sorry I didn´t write very long last week, I´ll do better. I´ll be honest, this week was a little bit crazy and a little bit tough. First, we had a surprise transfer and I left Cipó. It was a big transfer to get everything settled before the mission splits. I´ll still be in the Interlagos mission, but I´m in Parque das Nações now. It´s more of the city. It´s a lot different from Cipó, but it´s a really cool area. Has a new church building here and a really good ward. We work in alleys a lot more than streets. It´s cool, but it´s like a maze and I don´t know where I am, and it´s not flat. It´s hard to describe, but the alleys go up and down, it´s really interesting. I also got pretty sick this last week. Had a fever and stuff, but I´m feeling better now. For packages... I don´t know I love everything, still peanut butter and beef jerkey can´t find here. And I have requests for skittles, pop rocks and oreos ;) but anything is great. Why arent my siblings writing me? But anyway, my new companion is Elder Nazareth, he´s a very good missionary and we get along well. And the address I sent last week is where everything should be sent.

I have a grand testimony of this work and of our savior. I know that only through Jesus Christ can we be saved. We have to accept him as our Redeemer and live our lives for him. I love you all! Have a great Week!

Hey Everyone!

Sounds like the reunion was good, and everyone´s doing well. We have some great new families that we found this last week. There are many of God´s elect here in Cipó. So what´s the fireside about on Sunday? They just told us that it will be live transmission from Salt Lake, should be good. There´s no joy that comes, like the joy of the gospel. Open your mouth and share it, but more importantly live it everyday and let other people see how happy you are. Hope Father´s Day was great! Thank you to the great examples in my life. Dad, Grandpa and all my uncles. Love you all.

Here´s our new mission address. So everything should be sent here I guess now. 

 

Rua Comendador Elias Zarzur 365

Hey,

Sounds like a good start to summer. It´s funny that it´s winter here, but we´re probably having pretty similar temperatures. Camps and all that stuff going good? I like Zoe´s new haircut! She´s still as cute as ever. I couldn´t stop laughing when I saw that, Zo Dirt for sure.

All is well here in Zion, but we still can´t rest ;) A lot of work to do. My new companion is Elder Laughlin. He´s from Oregon. He´s a great guy and we´re doing well together. He went to BYU Idaho and says that he knows Marie and Alex Thomas. He´s super funny, this is his second to last transfer so I´m learning a lot from him.

We are working with some great people as always!

Reactivation has been really good lately, some great people coming back to church! I love you all!

Life is super good.

Love, Elder Barker
