Yep, transfers are here once again! I'm a nervous wreck. Well that's an exaggeration, but that call is highly anticipated! So, letters for the next little bit should be sent through the mission home/office.
Now as for Quick. I totally forgot about him being that old! I remember I got him 5th grade, Nov. 1st. I just happened to do morning announcements for the school that day. Why I remember those details. I really don't know. We figured that he was born somewhere around the 29th of August. That way his birthday would line up! So yeah, you can figure it out from there!
BTW. Last weeks subject line was just interpreting Tanner's Brian Regan stand up on grape snow cones. The Bengals win over the Browns was just a little bit of Mission Pride.
So did my IPod and planner make it home? Just want to make sure we don't have a South American Postal Service.
Now on to the good stuff. What really happened out here in the Great Ohio Columbus Mission!
Yesterday we got Alma to church! Woo! Everything worked out so that we walked in with her to Sacrament meeting right as they were ending the hymn called to serve, and we sat down as the opening prayer was given. Alma has been very anxious to be able to take the sacrament these past couple weeks, and she was devastated these past couple since she hasn't been able to come. She commented about the procedure is little bit different.
Overall I believed she liked church, and I think she was well taken care of when she went to Relief Society. Sister Sarmiento did a great job of welcoming her in!
This week had its ups and downs, but that has to be the highlight of it. We've been working with Julio some more. We are so close to teaching him everything. All we have left is commandments! Although we found out a little tidbit about Pamela. She has a smoking problem. So, once we can start teaching her again we have a new part of the iceberg to chisel out.
However it's looking like both Alma and Julio should be baptized the 8th of October. Whether I'm here or not, I hope it happens!
I wish you all good luck at the Marathon this week, and hope your toe-nails don't fall out. Remember Body Glide now means happy legs later!
Love you all, and don't forget to show that same love to my trumpet :D!
Para Siempre,
Elder A. Ipson
