Merry Christmas From India

hey everyone! well i hope christmas is going good for everyone. being here in india is definately different. haha. there are a few christmas decorations but not many. so enjoy the snow and cold cuz i miss it! but its good for me to see the true meaning of christmas and how its not all about the gifts. . . . its all about the FOOD!! haha just kidding. i actually just had tacos at a couples house and i might be getting a couple more american meals before the holidays are over. but i found out im getting transfered to KGF on friday and ill be with a native companion. so im excited to get to have some new experiences. im sure my english will get even worse than it already is when i have a native compainion. haha. the church is very small in KGF maybe 30 members? and its not a big city like bangalore. so im sure that will be a big change. but im looking foreward to it. we had a christmas activity this week and they built a big stage and a backdrop. i had to help build the backdrop cuz they knew i did construction. i thought it would be easy but building with crocked sticks and rope mad from coconut hair is not like shooting a nail gun. haha. but we got it done and it turned out really nice. my compainionship the the couple misionaries and the branch missionaries did a puppet show for our skit. everyone really liked it because they dont see stuff like that here. i gues the party didnt get over til like 11 so everyone was late to sacrament the next morning. it was pretty funny cuz there were only like 2 people there on time. im sad to have to leave the branch here cuz i just started to get close to the members. but thats how it goes i guess. but im still doing great and loving it here. hope santa finds everyone!love elder barr
