New Years Eve




Gabby, Me ,Bella, and Chole


Dallen and Me


Me and the Twins

 This Year the Berry Family finally decided to get together for the New Years Eve out in Cedar Fort to sled. We got there around 3:00 pm and stayed there until it was pitch black. We had chili and hot chocolate with using the coco motion machine. I did some racing on the sled with my cousins in which i broke one of the green ninja turtle sled. In which ten minutes later cute 8 year old Gavin ask "Um who broke this".. Yeah  I only felt a little bad  because lucky there was a lot other sleds around. It was a wonderful experience to have all the family together all doing something active and different. Who knew the Cedar Fort rodeo grounds would be a great place to do some sledding.

Christmas

Hayden and Me

This Christmas went by a little fast with getting home just six days before. However it was a wonderful Christmas with the family. We were able to do the norms with Christmas pajamas on the 24th and french toast casserole for breakfast and playing games and watching movies all day. I received a few great movies lit "Water for Elephants" and a Tablet which I had no idea how to use. 
Mom got her card playing table
Roland received clothes  
Dallen an Ipod 
 Hayden a cute little puppy named Sophie.
It was a very Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve



My giraffe bath sponge



 
For Christmas Eve I was able to head up to my Dad's house. Dad surprised me with a giraffe sponge and tons of candy, a new smart phone which I'm stilling learning how to use and a bunch dollars hidden in a box with shredded up paper. It was a pretty white winter day in which when driving home I did a 540 on state street, probably one of the most scariest things ever.

December 10th Letter

AHHHHH MY LAST P- DAY!!!!! IN THE BEST MISSION IN THE WORLD!!!!! crazy!!!
 
I'm starting to freak out again!!! Ah my cute Compie Hermana Joglar made me start to pack today and sorted out my last weeks of clothes!!!! ah this girl is great.. She is helping me so much so I'm not stressing!!! Anyways back to mission talk..
 
Paulina got baptized Saturday night which  was so pretty the chapel was full of great Relief Society sisters and converts.. She was glowing after the baptism and kept mentioning that I am her  friend for real.. Sunday she was sick so she didnt receive the Holy Ghost which is sad.. So pray hard for her that she will be able to receive it next week..  Sunday Nadia and Katy showed up our cute less active sisters that contacted us on Tuesday saying ¨hey sisters, were Mormon too.. Can you visit us we want to return to the gospel¨.. how amazing right.. They showed up at church right on time with their babies and everything and stayed all three hours.. It was a great moment to watch. Sacrament was sad at the the end of the talks i gave my last testimony ever and all the members began to come and give me hugs and a few gave me jewelry that they were wearing because they thought i would be leaving today.. It  was neat to feel all the love they have for me with only knowing them for 6 weeks here.  
 My compie has been so sweet and has a lot of great energy  she has been helping me to keep moving forward in the work . We have been using the ward directory list look for new people to teach and the other day we knocked on the door and the parents live there but the sons which are members have changed homes and one passed away . We felt really bad because it was 5 years ago and the church still had all the information. We were able to enter the home and teach the plan salvation and it went really well. We are going back this week. Hermana Joglar began to sing ¨¨Ïf your happy and you know it clap your hands¨¨ in Spanish and then I did it in English and we changed clapping hands to singing, waving ,stomping .a whole bunch of dumb things hahaha... We have been singing Christmas carols for contacting and it has been working well-.. many are really surprise and say hold on and they look for their spouse or child.. It has been a great experience to see the light of Christ enter their eyes during the song.. We have had a many great miracles this week and I know its because we are doing all the the Lords wants of us.. The challenge now is to enter all those home where we sing at... Tomorrow our young women are going to do some Christmas caroling with us too. I hope this activity will bring the people the Lord has prepared..
 
I love you each and challenge you to think about a friend or family that might be alone and go out and visit them or sing for them.. Bring them the Light of Christ that you have in your life.. Help them know that they are a Child of God.. Do something more this week.
 
I love you all and am so overly filled with joy to see you all next week at 3:44pm Tuesday 18thin SLC airport.. mom dont be late... Dad please help her.. I will also be arriving in LAX airport at 7:05 am Tuesday 18th and be there for a lay over for my wonderful families and friends in ridge..
 
Love you all have a wonderful weeek

December 3rd Letter

ey everyone thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes!!!!

I would love to sit and write each of you but here in the mission the time is limited... But THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!  We had a Arica conference with president and sister Bruce which was fun. We then had a lesson with our cute member Hna. Grace and her two boys and they gifted me a shiny flower ring and some of their play toys it was so sweet... We didnt have cake but the next day our mamita of food had the kitchen decorated with balloons and had cake . I celebrated my birthday a little bit everyday... It was good. The best gift was Wednesday night we had an appointment with Paulina and Gabriel they're the cute couple that got married last week in which i caught the wedding bouquet. hahah anyways 

she started the lesson with im mad at you. 
We asked why. 
She said ¨you didnt come monday night¨¨ 
We told her we didnt have an appointment with them that night.
she said yes
us no
oh okay sorry we miss understand
anyways

so  she says i missed you both so much.. its been so long since this good spirit feeling..( only two days after sunday)  I want to get baptized.. im not waiting for my husband to get the priesthood i want to do it know..
ah MIRACLE!!!!! because the other day she say yeah maybe in march i ´ll get married....
So me being all emotional began to testify and put the fetcha for the December 8!!! and she accepted"" AHHHHHHH!!! YES!!!

So  im so excited.... We also had cambios saturday night... and of course president is going to change hna burnett because that would be to easy for her to stay in the same place with the same compie.. so im going to be with an Argentinean name hna Jogar!!! im super excited!!!!

 Change is great i can truly testify of that... I hope that you are all changing your heart and your focus on the Lord and the family this month as we prepare to celebrate Christmas.. do not think about what great gift can i buy or what electronic should i ask for. but think in what way can i serve the Lord more.. How can i give more time and love  to him and to those around me. How can i make my friends feel worth something or how can i share my testimony's with some one that is struggling.. I know with all my heart that the Lord answers prayers and that he is with us in all that we do.. Be strong and Bold and kneel and pray and ask how can i share your gospel? How can i bring the light of Savior into someone else´s life.. And I know he will answer as he has recently done with our wonderful investigator Paulina..

I Love you all..
Thanks again for all the wonderful birthday wishes and love
