From Elder Ben Kirk
Elder y Hna Schmidt! Merry Christmas!!
How's it been?! How has the office been treating you? I'm sure that you continue to be incredible working in the office and helping the missionaries. You both always just did amazing at whatever you did. That's because you did your best!
It was always such a blessing to come into the office during a stressful day and see your smiling faces, even though your day may have been stressful as well. Do you keep making the missionaries gain weight by putting all the yummy treats and baked goods out?
I remember last year I was in the office and I ate dinner at your apartment for Thanksgiving and Chistmas. I still remember all the yummy turkey and mashed potatoes and jello, not to mention all the pies (I think there were like 5 pies!) It was amazing I'm pretty sure I gained like 20 pounds in my first month and a half as AP. Good stuff!
Anyway, what's your mission like now. Didn't the president change some of your responsibilities? Who's in the office now?
Hna Schmidt--como le va el Espanol? Mas seguro que ya hable como una dominicana.
Thanks so much for all you do and for your charity as missionaries. May you have a very Merry Christmas! Greetings to everyone else in the office!
Con Amor,
Ben Kirk in the office November 2012 to May 2013
Address: 777 E. 1000 N. Apt #N2--Logan, Utah 84321
Happy Christmas Eve! Can we do a group skype tomorrow night? At 9 or 10 our time--7 or 8
We all need a gmail (free) account. Google hangout--gmail account, then google+. Can you all?
Love you!
Mom & Dad--if can't we'll call you separate. Por favor??

Thank you for all support! And I was thinking about you - when you get home and also all those packets you get ready for the missionaries - it is so important and you're doing a great job!
Take care, Love, Nancy

Hi Nancy and Ray and BETHANY!! What a fun cute picture! That is so fun to receive your celebration! I forwarded it on to my kids. I got so choked up talking to you Bethany, that I couldn't say much. When we see them come and go and read of your cute experiences, it means so much to see that you "graduated". You are a returned missionary! Thanks for sending the picture Nancy. Bet you are all having fun!!!love,Susan and Jim

DR Currency / email exchange

Thanks Ellen! The 20 pesos bill is the prettiest I think. We work with a lot of money in the petty cash paying bills like today, 8,000 for the guaguas or buses to bring the missionaries for the Christmas Conference (they don't say party.) We take it from the petty cash or caja chica and give it to the AP's who actually contract them to pick up and drop off. Today was half the mission Christmas conference, so the office elders used the petty cash for supplies to make ornaments for the Christmas tree--250 little pictures mounted on red heavy poster board. We helped them string yarn through a paper punch hole, haul the tree from our foyer to the chapel in our truck (a sheet wrapped around it, then the ornaments were hung on the tree by the stage. We bought garbage bags for the cleanup, etc. (We donated the round red and green tablecloths, but the other expenses will come in with either a petty cash reimbursement or they used the credit card and will hand us the receipts.
The other bills are 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 in a pretty pink, and 2000 which is green. 40 pesos equal a dollar. The Christmas dinner for 250 missionaries and a few extras was 69,000 pesos. That we cut a check for. Anyway, I'm going to bring home one of each bill and mount them. Thanks for your interest.
Love, Susan ,

Thanks for the update--sound like things are going well and the work goes forward swimmingly. Very exciting for you all.
I got your C'mas card with the money in it--what kind of note is that? It's very pretty. I've not heard you mention anything about the currency, or dealing with it. Have you found it difficult to use? The card was nice--temple is very pretty and the group looks happy and eager!
Have a great week!
