Hola familia!
Guess what! It is actually 2015! Say WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Man,
oh man, those little 4 years sound like angels! (you are a greater
person than I, mom) lol, funny thing I just finished reading your
e-mail, when Hermana Warner came over and said guess what! I already
have a calling! I am going to be teaching CTR 4. I ended up reading that
little snippet to her, she laughed, I think she is excited for the
calling though. She is really good with kids. But isn't that crazy? She
is going to have her homecoming party that Saturday. Give her Homecoming
talk that Sunday and then go right afterwards to teach her new CTR 4
class! lol, that sounds like a crazy busy weekend (But then I think
about how you actually have time to prepare for things like that when
you aren't a full time missionary...)
I welcomed
in the new year with food poisoning... that was pretty fun. Both Hermana
Warner and I felt terrible. And it lasted for a couple days. But we
finally made our recovery.
We went to the branch
soccer activity on Friday. I don't know how I manage it. I don't even
play and I STILL get hit in the head by the ball. (Yeah, don't
worry, I've iced a couple of times...)
Then that
same evening Hermana Warner discovered she had bedbugs....So Saturday we
went up to North Little Rock to get permetherin and I left my bag in
the mission office. (with my wallet, planner and scriptures...so I won't
be getting that back until Monday). Then that evening Hermana
Warner had to spray permetherin in our room by herself because I
wouldn't go near it.
Sunday was actually pretty
sweet. Derek Barrientos (the branch president's son) is leaving for his
mission in the Monterrey Mexico mission this Wednesday. So there was a
big farewell party for him. And 5 of our investigators came to church! I
am super happy about that. The only thing that stinks in that as the
only missionary in the branch that has piano skills I am automatically
called to be the branch pianist. So, all the prelude and music afterward
means it is really hard to help investigators feel welcomed and meet
everyone they need to and to follow up afterwards. But Hermana Warner
does a fabulous job of it.
Yup, it is finally getting cold here... I'm ready for warmer weather.
Love,
Hermana Ives
