My last transfer! :(‏

Mom, dad, why are so many people Passing away? Last week kaleb sent me an
email with a list of like 4 people that passed away or were in such
bad accidents. It is so sad to hear. I am so thankful for God's plan
for us and the knowledge that we have of it. It is a blessing to know
that they aren't gone for good.

I am glad you had a good break from sports and tried enjoying the rest
of your week after cousin Ronald's funeral. The MTC activity sounded
way fun. Oh, and good luck with basketball tryouts karina! Enjoy the
season! Just have fun!

It is so great that you are so involved with so many church activities
and events. It is a good way to strengthen your testimony and also
strengthen relationships with our heavenly siblings. As a missionary
and spending so much time with members, other missionaries, and
investigators, my testimony of how we are all a brothers and sisters
have grown. Being with all of these people, I have come to love them
like a family and they are all so special to me.

This week was way good. It was sad saying goodbye to sister herring
because she went home is week. Sister Hubner and I visited quite a few
people to tell them about the transfers. I am still in this area and
get to know what is going on in the Tokyo 2nd ward. It is also nice to
be back in to Japanese Dendou. My Japanese is a little rusty, but I
realized that my confidence in speaking is better. I am not as afraid
to open my mouth now.

My companion is sister Nash. She is from Ohio. We have been in this
area for the same amount of time. Her Japanese dendou.p, and me in
English. Now we are together, so this we be fun. She ca,e to Japan the
same time sister Ruplinger did. We are excited to see some big
miracles together this transfer. I plan on working hard to the end.

Anyway, I better get going. Everyone, please have a good week and stay
safe. I am going to try and send a letter to the brays. I hope it gets
to them in time. I Just want to let them know that they aren't alone
in this. Love you all!

Sister Ivory

P.s.
I sent a package. Please DO NOT OPEN IT! Or it will ruin the Christmas
surprise. It should get there sometime in December.

Also, how is coach stew doing?
