Merry Christmas!

all of a sudden there are 7 days till Christmas

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOEY!!!!! holy nut she is 19...

that same day I completed 16 months as a full time missionary...2 more to go...but actually ill be home when I hit 18 soo

DEBRA AND ROB GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!! I love them so much. Yesterday they completed their baptism with receiving the Holy Ghost! Debra is in bad health and so Rob had to wheel her up in a wheel chair :( but she was determined. she knew they needed to go to finish their baptism. they are amazing. we have FHE with them tonight...hey dad! could you send me some of your FHE on DVDs? I want to give them to Debra and Rob!!

We are super busy like always and I love it.

Line came home from her mission and so now im the last one!!!

love you guys so much. instead of thinking about presents and materialistic things, really focus on the Savior and His life. try to picture and imagine what life was like for Him growing up and coming into this crazy world. traditions are great, but do something different this Christmas. I promise you will remember it for the rest of your lives!

love, Hermana kiara harker 

Always on....FIRE

Not only has our mission been on fire this week literally, spiritually we are on fire as well. i would have thought my mother would have been a nervous wreck, but she was actually having the time of her life in hawaii! so you probably didnt even know, ma! Debra and Rob are entering into the waters of baptism this late afternoon at 5 o'clock! we are so so excited! President Thomas is coming, and a bunch of deb and robs family is coming, lots of non members, etc. its going to be a great time. 

weve been suuuuper busy with leadership-ness and dealing with other people not in our area, but its been great! 

oh yea and then sister rob chopped off a little more of my hair~!

love you guys so much! please read the Book of Mormon--it will save your life.

Couples Baptism

#MIRACLE!!

last sunday we caroled in our area and we caroled to debra and rob our investigators and then last monday debbie called us and asked how hard it would be to do a couple's baptism!!!! wattt`11.1/1/1/1/1/??!?!?!?!? she said that rob considered himself a mormon after we caroled to them!!! this is a guy that said it would take a year or 6 months to get baptized. #sisterpower

so next monday they will be baptized. they have already decreased dramatically the amount of alcohol they drink every night. they are amazing and we love them so much. please pray for them.

we went to the temple!!!!! i love it there. then we went to the cheesecake factory for lunch with our member. it was a great day. 

it was just a great week and this next one will be even better. i go to church only 10ish more times until i am home...hehe
