so ive been on a water diet for the past 2 days and the only food ive had since yesterday is a thing of ritz crackers...yes i am getting transferred on wednesday and guess where im going?!?! im leavin on a jet plane! thats right baby! im going kauai! hahaha im so excited to go off-island! and my mission president called this morning and told me hes sending me to a dying missionary (he goes home after this transfer) and that im to push him hard everyday and make him die strong! and that while im there im to learn as much tongan from him as i can and judge on my abilities after the 6 weeks will determine if i become a tongan speaking missionary! haha so cool! he said 'elder labarre this is a chance for you to really step up!' so im excited!
yeah i hope mirna moves up her date too! that would be cool! but im kinda bummed wont get to see her get baptized... but thats alright. as long as she does get baptized ill be happy! yeah thats all my news for the week so :D

Here is the note from Kyle this week:
haha its alright! you have to worry about more things than me! that stinks about amelia but good thing its just her baby teeth! things out here are good! mirna has a baptism date in april (that will hopefully move up to feb before she goes to OTS) and mari should get baptized in feb (she wants to go to relief society before getting baptized because thats what it will be like the rest of her life) so thats understandable. and were helping jen quit smoking and she said shed read the bom once a day everyday! i dont know if she came to stake conference but she wants to come but has some trouble because of her son (severely handicapped)
this sunday we find out who gets transfered so monday ill be able to let you know if im going!
i love you sister!

Kyle sent this e-mail to our mom:

well we havent been able to talk to mari for the past 2 weeks because the timeschanged for the meetings and she has to drive about an hour to get to church soshe hasnt been able to make it...but were going to suggest the 24th for her (ifits not too late) and hopefully shes ok with that! things are going good!transfers are coming up on the 28 so the night of the 25 ill know whats happening! i dont really have any stories right now haha but ill definitely let you knowwhen i get some! haha i love you mom! have a wonderful week!also! thank you so much for not letting us as children watch the filth that is on tv. because of that i never really watched much tv that everyone else seems to watch. it has always been cartoon network, history channel and disney channel, and if not those i wouldnt watch tv! so thank you for your stirctness in that because if you had let us i would have been de-sensitized and would have been sucked into it! so thank you!love you :Dkyle

We didn't hear about any crazy missionary New Year's celebrations this week, maybe next week! This is the word from Hawaii this week (as you can see short and to the point):
we just have to schedule the date for mari and then she will be set! so we'll give her a call this week to see what she decided! im superexcited and i seriously hope that it goes through! :D love you

Okay, so I have been really slack getting updates on here for the past two weeks. No excuses, and I will attempt to be better!
Here is the letter from Kyle:
so guess what happened on friday? we had an island wide thunder/lightning storm (very rare in hawaii) and because of that we had an island wide black out! and it lasted from 7pm friday night to saturday noon! we were about to start cooking at a members house when it happened and so we whipped out the camping stove and cooked on there! i make schweineschnitzel! it was sooo good! haha and then on sunday we talked to mari and shes ready to get baptized!!! in january!!! woot! shes looking over the saturdays in the month and will let us know which one she wants to do it on! and we had a lesson with mirna and weve taught her everything and i told her so, and that we feel that she would be ready for baptism but its her choice and we dont want her to feel pushed but we asked her to pray about baptism this week and also about the truthfulness of the book of mormon. i told her that if the bom isnt true than joseph smith was a liar and we dont have the authority to baptize but if it is true then he was a prophet and we do have the authority from God to perform saving ordinances. so she said shed pray about it this week and we have a lesson with her this coming weekend so itll should be good! so we very well might have 2 baptisms this coming month! woot!
other than that i just talked to you less than a week ago so i dont have much else to say :D love kyle
