This is how we looked to Hope on Skype
In her email alst night I asked her whom she has heard from this week and this was her reply: You Faith Caitlyn Carri Elder Hunter and thats it i think. I haven't got any letters from you yet. speaking of letters all the PO's are closed for the holiday season but i have your letter fat and ready to get sent.

PRAYERS NEEDED

for Hope

The past couple of weeks she has been having headaches, my head aches when i lift my head up after praying and someone said it might be high blood so I'm talking to sister Barrientos about it later Yes i have some headache medicine that i brought don't worry. Yea i am talking to s. Barrientos later today. 

What are the symptoms of High blood pressure? Then I asked her to go to a Doctor and this is what she said: They have one at the mission home.

So please pray for our girl that these headaches subside. We would really appreciate it.

Here are some more pictures that she sent:

She bought these super hero things, can't wait to find out why.




Look at how long her hair is getting, can you imagine how long it will be when She gets home?

Well I hope that every one had a great Christmas, and remember to put Hope and all of the missionaries serving around the world in your prayers. Please have a safe and fun New Years, and May
God Bless You!
Until next time!

Before leaving Bacarra

These pictures were sent last week, I just now have the time to put them up, Hope is doing amazing.
So enjoy the pictures:

She is wearing her Christmas Stocking on her head, Silly Missionary!

Sisters in her Bacarra Zone

One of her baptisms

Christmas in Bacarra

Hope and her Sese

They are wearing their Christmas Stockings on their heads, at first I thought they were trying to be a cross between Men in black and Robin Hood!

The Chapel that she attended in or by Bacarra, Not sure where this chapel is located.

These pictures were all taken in Bacarra, before she was transferred into Laoag. Now she is living in Laoag and is enjoying her new area.

That's it for this week, I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and Please have a Happy New Year!!!

May God bless you!

Skype

Good Morning Everyone! I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas! Last night we were able to Skype with Hope, it was awesome. At first we had some technical difficulties on her end she couldn't hear us, and the picture of her coming through was not clear, but we could hear her and then a few minutes later she could hear us, and after that we were good to go, but what do expect we were skyping 4000 miles away from each other, I just feel truly blessed that I could see her and talk to her in real time and hear her voice and her laugh, it was the best Christmas I could have asked for.
Here are some pictures from skyping with her last night, unfortunately I can't figure out why it won't download the video I took, so for now here are the pictures. Enjoy...

What a good night for our family. It has been 7 month since we heard Hope's voice!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Laoag 5

Merry Christmas
Sister Kenfield and Sister Sese

I was so Happy to hear from Hope last night, her emails were awesome. The above picture is with her and Sister Sese her companion, but only until today and then Hope is being transferred today! She didn't spend much time in Bacarra. This is what she said about her transfer.

I get transferred tomorrow. at 8am. I got the call from President himself on friday. i don't know what it's like yet. I don't know why they transferred me but it's crazy and I'm a STL which is even crazier! It's Laoag ward 5, kinda like Enoch 3rd ward. I am going to miss Bacarra! and I'm going to miss my Sese even more!

Then we were talking about what a STL does and this is what she said with some other stuff, sorry it is so jumbled: I love it! those cookies were so delicious! :) 

Yes she is Filipina thank goodness! I have sent pictures of us in the past :) haha. 

Yes my dear Sese is staying :( she has another Americana :p 

I was not there long at all that is for sure! \

I just go on exchanges with all the sisters in my zone and other stuff I'm not so sure. look it up it probably will tell you more about it cause i have no clue! :p

So here transfer is the big news of the week: then she sent a bunch of pictures and here they are, enjoy!

So there you have it, the pictures from this week, I am so glad that she finally could send pictures of Thanksgiving, looks like they had plenty of food.  Every picture she send are keepers this week, So by next week she will have been in her new area for a week, I pray that she adjusts well and enjoys her new surroundings. She seems to be doing good. I just pray that she stays happy and healthy, I already know that she loves the Filipino people with all of her heart. She is one amazing missionary.

Well friends, Until next time, have a great day!
