Well I'm officially in the last month of my mission. This
week went pretty well. Elder Conrad are I are still doing great, and
great in our area! Sounds like everyone is busy and enjoying the 4th and
all that. We were going to do some stuff, but we ended up not doing
anything on the 4th...that's okay, I'm in Mexico so it's not a big deal
here. Yeah dad we saw president in a special meeting on Tuesday and they
introduced themselves and everything. They are from northern Idaho,
actually where there isn't many members. He is really cool! Funny too.
It's weird because he is like "Greenie" and us older missionaries feel
really really old now. It's cool though, I'll prob get to know him a
little bit. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Wow guys that's awesome. 25
years...that's great. Now you got at least 25+ to go ;) haha nice! I'm
glad everyone had a good 4th. That's pretty crazy that everyone is going
on trips or working n stuff. I guess that's always how it gets in the
summer. Mom that's cool you talked to Elder Conrad's mom. They seem like
a great family. I hope they'll get to go to my homecoming. By the way,
when is my homecoming exactly?? I think you told me already, but I don't
remember. Has the bishop already told you guys? I'm really excited for
Jami and how she's going on Heritage Tours! I know she'll have a great trip and it
will help her testimony grow.
Well this week Elder Conrad and I weren't able to
teach as much as other weeks, but we were able to baptize our investigator, Miriam!! We got everything ready and she was baptized
yesterday on Sunday.
She is awesome!! From the first time we taught her, she was willing to
change and to keep the commandments. She already had a desire to get
baptized and we were privileged to just prepare her. We are struggling
with finding new people to teach with all the ones that we have right
now. We still have 3 baptismal dates programmed. One for the 20th, and 2
for the 26th. We are teaching this awesome less active family that
finally went to church yesterday!! Their two sons are going to be
baptized on the 26th, Manuel, who is 12, and Pedro, who is 10. I'm
really happy here and I feel blessed with many great people to teach at
the end of my mission. We hope to help Jonathan get married so that he
can be baptized round the 3rd of August... like my very last Sunday!! I
hope it happens.
Well that's all for me. Mom, Dad, I hope you have a
great anniversary! Have fun, you deserve it. I hope all you guys and I'm
so happy to be serving and I'm also so excited to see you all in a
month! But like mom says...I'll try not to think about it too much :)
Stay strong.
con amor,
Elder Ryan Kitchen
