Hola familia!
Estoy
aqui en Little Rock y tambien estare en Little Rock por 6 semanas mas!
YEAH!!! No one is getting transferred. And Sister Stevens still needs to
be in full car. So, that intense bike riding regimine (that I know you
both -mom AND dad, are planning....yeah probably not going to happen the
first week I'm home... we might just need to ease into that ;)
Ummm... Hermana Stevens y yo have been getting pretty
worn out with Spiritual Harvesting so we decided to try some "other"
finding ideas. We have started up un clase del Libro de Mormon! Cada
Jueves a las 7:30pm. We held our first class last Thursday (at 6pm) but
not as many people as we were hoping were able to come because they have
work so we decided to push it back. But I have to say that it was
awesome and the spirit was super strong. The Book of Mormon is powerful,
the personal experiences of members are touching, and the questions of
the investigators fuel the class! We have put a lot of effort into this
class so I am hoping and praying that we will be able to get a better
turn out this coming week.
Thank you mom for the AWESOME package! The Caution tape
is awesome! We use it for EVERYTHING. I even decorated the back of my
old planner with it! Super great. (That is important information for a
little later in the storyline... just keep reading ;) The clothespin
chopsticks are adorable and the chocolate disappeared VERY quickly. We
even have the Saturday to Monday package deal in Little Rock! boo-yeah!
So, we have been able to find and talk with some SUPER
awesome people this week. Just answers to prayers and a testimony to me
that Heavenly Father is truly aware of His children. Their specific
needs and wants. Olga in specific is super amazing! We had our first
lesson with her last Friday and she talked about how when we first
knocked on her door she could feel the Spirit of the Lord and really
wants to hear more of our message. She told us that she really doesn't
like to read too much but that she would read the folleto (pamphlet) and
the Intro of the Book of Mormon! We are so excited to teach her and her
family!
All of the Spiritual Harvesting is starting to pay off!
Okay,
sooooo... hypothetically speaking....where would someone potentially go
(in terms of celestial glories) if they ran over one of the Lord's
creatures (let's just say a raccoon, for the sake of the hypothetical)
with the Lord's car??? ...
I'm not admitting anything. Just wondering...
Okay
actually yes... yes that hypothetical isn't quite so hypothetical. We
were driving home and a raccoon ran out in front of the car in front of
me. The raccoon was still alive and staggered to the side of the road
just to run back into the road right in front of me...It was sooo
disgusting (you know how much I hate squishing bugs because of the
feeling?? Yeah, I have come to the conclusion that road kill is about 10
times worse.. So, we make it home and I may or may not be crying and
struggling through some PTSD we get through planning we kneel down to
pray I flip over my planner and my gorgeous warning tape decorations.
The irony sent me crying and my companion laughing... It was a very
interesting evening.
Sister Sims is the mission nurse and we have to txt her
for any medical advice or whatever. So we know her pretty well because
of Sister Steven's injuries. I had some pretty bad stomach cramps and I
asked Sister Sims if she knew something that I should take... and she
suggested anti-acid. I thought she was nuts and clarified but she again
recommended anti acid. so I took one (did nothing..) It wasn't until a
couple days later that Sister Sims txted and asked sister Stevens if her
stomach cramps had gone away.... she had recommended the anti acid for
Sister Steven because of all the anti-inflammatory medicine that she has
been taking... yeah... so I am still not too trusting of medical
people..
Sister Stevens has a recent convert that went back to
Mexico. But he sent us some pumpkin seed cookie things... Pretty good...
but COVERED in tiny little ants... It wasn't until we had eaten a
couple of bites that we realized quite how MANY there were... (one or
two, I can handle that, I lived in China...more than that... I have been
in America for 9 years since that... ) It gave me the heebie jeebies...
I love you all, I know the gospel is true!
Keep sharing
Keep going
Keep doing!
Love,
Love,
Hermana Ives
