Week #24 - Happy Valentines Day

Hey family!


Happy Valentine's day! Do you know how awkward Valentine Day is as a missionary? Just think about that... yeah... So we will probably not be attending the family Valentines dance....



But I am glad that you and dad will be able to go! I am super excited to start dancing again when I get home! I have really been missing it.



Naw! Super parents! sending me CDs and stamps! Two of my favorite things! Thank you so much I can't wait to get them!



I am glad to hear that Grandma got her letter. I love her so much! 



Mmmmmm...homecooking! That sounds fabulous! I made some hashbrowns, and salsa the other day... that was pretty awesome! not to mention tasty. Dad, you probably would have thought my salsa was wimpy but I will have you know that I put a pepper in it! ...and it may or may not have been called bell...



You are going to spend Easter in Utah? That sounds awesome! savor a little chocolate egg for me! 



This week was pretty good. We didn't have any baptisms this Sunday but we did have 3 investigators at church! that was great. 



So we got a call this morning.... from the APs... yeah I am pretty sad, Sister Smith is being transferred. But I am pretty excited that I get to stay in Warren! I am also a little nervous about how many Spanish investigators we have and how I will now need to translate in Spanish. But I know that the gift of tongues is real ans that the Lord blesses us according to our needs. 



Saturday was a pretty rough day so on Sunday I asked the Elders if I could get a blessing... I am not sure if you have ever felt overwhelmed by a blessing. But it is an extremely amazing feeling. And it really strengthened my testimony about the power of the priesthood and that Heavenly Father is real and that He truly loves each of His children. There isn't a concern that I have had for the past little while that Elder Mulvey didn't touch on. And there is absolutely NO way that he would have known what to say if he was not receiving inspiration through the power of the priesthood, the power of God. It was so beautiful and I know without a doubt that God hears and answers our prayers. 



I learned this past week at Zone meeting that President Petersen does not know how to count...He said he wanted to leave us with 2 invitations...and we left the meeting with 11! As if study time wasn't short enough... now we have a ton of invitations to try and complete and not much time to get it done...super crazy...




Well...I'm not sure what else to tell you... 



I love ya'll bunches and I hope you have a wonderful missionary week!



Love,

Hermana Ives
