Letter from Resistencia Barrio 4 - 27 December 2011

Dear Family,

Merry Week After Christmas! I didn´t know this when I called on Sunday but yesterday was oficially a holiday so, as always, our Pday was moved to today.

Christmas was nice. It has been over 100 degrees here in Resistencia (with humidity!) but on Christmas Eve a storm moved in and it was cloudy and rainy and dropped at least 20 degrees and stayed like that through christmas day. Hna. Griffeth and I were pretty happy.

I have more to tell about Christmas but I am actually out of time!
It took all my time to upload the photos. Here are a few explanations:


Many of them are old and from Goya. The photos of me standing in a field with horses and walking down a dirt road with Hna Da Silva are from my last few weeks there. The picture of the baby in the tub is also from Goya can go with the email I wrote about that day we found Sandra sitting by the side of her house reading her Book of Mormon. That is her baby Bruno I wrote about who was sitting beside her playing in the tub. The one with me and the little girl giving the thumbs up is also from Goya. That is Dalila, one of the most amazing little girls in the world.

All the Christmas ones are self-explanatory and can probably go with the email I wrote last week about our tree and ornaments and stockings. Or with the email I am going to write next week about Christmas/New Years. There are pictures of our christmas dinner too, which I will write more about next week.

The one of my feet is just to impress you with HOW INCREDIBLY TAN I am getting. But that doesn´t need to go on the internet because my feet are gross.

The one with me next to a map is just to show off our hard work. We made that entire map and it took days. It also gives you an idea of what I look like after working for 6 hours in 107 degree heat.

Okay. Gotta go!

Thanks for the emails and the SONGS! I am thrilled.

I love you,

Brooke
