President Hansen,
P.S.
One item I failed to include and mentioned was that the letter posted on the Family History room may be rooted to an overlapping of activities. This past Wednesday sister Reyna planned a Primary activity, she forgot to check the calendar to see which classroom was available. She went ahead and decorated the branch primary room thinking that no one else uses and was using this room. This happened to be the evening where members from the stake meet and do their family history. As such, this is understandable, as she had to removed some of the decorations, writing, and pictures she had posted for the activity. She moved to a different classroom and held the activity there.
I was at the activity, but nothing was addressed to me that day. The letter was posted later in the week. Sister Reyna shared that she had to put everything down as requested. However, we understand about being respectful and sharing. All we are asking is that we are allowed to leave primary decorations in the Family History classroom. We will plan for primary activities a different day. A different classroom if this is the case.
Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience. We wish to make this work and await for your response as to what best next step to take.
Muchas gracias Presidente.
Pte. Ibarra
Will you please work with Brothers Howes, Eldredge, Malan, President Ibarra and Bishop Miller, the agent bishop for the stake center, to resolve this matter?
I know this may be painful, but I would think the room formerly used as the Family History Center is no longer a FH Center, but is now an extra-large classroom to be used by those teaching and training in Family History. (We may need to get a new or additional sign for the door. Is the door now kept unlocked like other classrooms?)
I would think it can also serve as a “permanent” Primary room for the Pioneer Branch, trying to grow in their quest to become a ward (as you know, a high priority of the Area Presidency). Once the branch becomes independent enough to enter a meeting rotation, this room will no longer be needed for their Primary.
I assume the attached note was written by Doug Yates, who I’m sure feels ownership of this room due to the room’s original purpose. We deeply appreciate Brother Yates taking the initiative to clear out the room and make it available for use by others. The timeliness of its availability for use by the expanding Pioneer Branch is a tremendous blessing and certainly not a coincidence. Doug was truly inspired!
Thank you for counseling together to arrive at a resolution. I look forward to your report.
Thanks,
President Lewis
Buenas noches Presidente,Not sure how to address the following but the purpose is to communicate and counsel with you as to what would be the best steps to take. We have started the primary program in the branch. Primary President sister Reyna is working very hard to assured that all is in order and according to the children’s handbook. However, we are encountering a small challenge. We were assigned the Family History room as the primary room for the branch. Recently we encounter a small challenge which we are willing to cooperate but it requires for our primary leaders to put down primary decorations/themes every Sunday. Attached, a letter that was posted in the Family History Room with instructions and a reminder to be respectful to others that also share the room. My request is if there is a possibility that we are allowed for the classroom attached to the family history lab to have a primary theme/decoration as other primary classrooms. It is a bit challenging to re-arrange every Sunday meeting. In my effort to be concise in this message, there are no decorations posted in the computer lab. Only in the classroom or what is known as the Family History classroom.Kindly, president any suggestions or approval on being allowed to leave the primary theme/decorations in the classroom. We are fine with moving the chairs and tables as we already do with a different classroom, this being the Relief Society room. Of which we put chairs and tables back when we finished with our sacrament meeting.I look forward to your comments.Un abrazo,Pte. Ibarra
