Here we go again

Okie dokie! here we go again!
This last week went by really fast, I am not sure what to say about it but I will do my best!
I am going to send ya'll a picture along with this email of my little branch that I serve in, I sure love these people!!!
Our Branch President, President Bristol went into surgery this last week, he is doing well now! The last three months I have gotten really close to the Bristol family, I don't know what I would have done without them here in the Branch. They are the family that we will be spending Christmas with and calling from their home!
One of our investigators, Gerard has decided to be baptized! we are so so so excited for him and the great blessing this will be in his life! I was really excited when he told us this, my companion started filming me but the video is too long to send over email so I will have to show ya'll when I get home!
lilly is doing amazing! We had a new member lesson with her this last week and we were able to go and eat dinner with her and her family on Wednesday night, they are really great people! Although her brother asked me some very interesting questions regarding the church, sometimes the questions people ask make me laugh!
on Friday we had zone conference, it was a Christmas program and it was really good! they even played a Grinch song which made me so so so happy! I can't wait to watch that movie next year!!!!
Saturday we spent the vast majority of the day just trying to talk to people around stores, everyone was rushing around became of Christmas's.
Yesterday after church we went to the petitta's home (grandma sis petitta is going to come see you when they are in Utah coming up :) she is bringing a small bag of things I don't need home) Hopefully this won't be the last time I see them on my mission... they won't be back from their daughters wedding until after transfers (which are in 2 weeks! time is going fast!)
This evening the branch is having an annual branch Christmas party, we are going to have a white elephant gift exchange... Lots of people usually show up to this! I am excited :) 
I  hear the weather in Utah has been freezing! i am sorry ya'll have to suffer through that!!!
I want to bear my testimony to each of you about the power of prayer in our lives. I know that I have a Heavenly Father in my life who loves me and listens to my needs and desires and who helps me through the tough times which are many. I know he is there for all of you as well :) Trust in him and believe in good things to come!
Thank you for everything :)
Mail would be nice :)
Love,
Sister Emily Barnett
