Hey
everybody. Sounds like ya'll had a pretty normal week. That's pretty
funny about Tyler and Cam haha I think it's funny that he is going
through the exact same thing that he went through like a 6 months ago
with Eric. I hope that he arrives well and everything though. Thanks for
sending news and pictures on the S.G house...looks like it's comin
along real nice. Also, I just wanted to comment on Lynn and Aunt
Paulette and say congrats on the recent news! How's the rest of the
family doing? If there is anything I can do for ya'll just let me know.
Well I'm pretty excited to tell you about what has
happened this week. It's been a really cool one. We had a lot of really
good lessons throughout the week, and we have some pretty good
investigators. On like Tuesday I think we went looking for a house in
our area because they are going to divide the area into two parts. That
means there will be 4 missionaries in the same ward. That's just the
start of the interesting news. On Friday we got out of a lesson and we
were headed to another. Then our zone leaders, Elder Cruz and Elder Prosper,
called us and told us to meet them at the church for something
important. Elder Prosper took me in another room to give me the news
that I'm going to be TRAINING a new missionary starting tomorrow!!! Wow
it was big news for me. In some ways I don't feel ready, but I'm
reminded that the Lord knows that I am, so I know that I can do it. It
is a lot of resposibility that I will have to take on training a new
missionary. I just want to do the very best I can and serve my new
missionary so that he can start really strong on his mission. I am going
to forget myself completely and serve with everything I've got. So on
Saturday, everyone who is going to be training a new missionary went to a
training meeting with President and the assistants. It was great. My
companion, Elder Knowlton, is actually going to train too (for the 2nd time).
Since the meeting on Saturday we have been taking care of two new
American missionaries that got here a little earlier than the rest.
That's been fun. So there is supposed to be like 4 Mexicans, 18 Americans, 2 from the Dominican Republic, and 1 from Costa Rica coming
on Tuesday...tons huh! I'm kinda excited to see who I will be
training...but nervous too. I was informed last night that I have
transfers, but within the zone (they tell you if it's within the zone). So what we are pretty sure is going to happen is that Elder Knowlton is
going to stay in the house we live in now with his new missionary and I
will live in the split part of this same area with my new missionary.
We'll see what happens...you never know. I only have time to share one
cool experience about an investigator that we found this week. He is so
awesome! His name is Fernando and his is 35. He contacted us on the
street while we were walking because he had recieved a Book of Mormon
from someone in the North Mission. We've now taught him twice and he has
gone to church once. In church he was taking notes and everthing! He
has been prepared by the Lord! An Area 70 came to our ward this week and in Elders Quorum, Fernando was participating really well with the 70's
message. The Area 70 invited him to be baptized right then he accepted!! Haha wow it was awesome. This is the Lord's work.
Welp that's all the crazy news I've got for you this
week. Let me know if you have any questions. PLEASE pray long and hard
for me because I really need the Lord's help with training a new
missionary. I feel inexperienced myself, so I'm gonna need a lot a
heaven-sent help for this next couple of months. I love you all and I
appreciate all of your love, support, and help that you give me week by
week. Thank you so much for the way that you raised me, and the things
that shaped me to be who I am. I often reflect on the great experience
of being out here on a mission. It's the best experience of my life.
Easily. How greatful I am for my Savior, because if it weren't for him
and His Atonement, I would be lost. I love you family!
Con amor,
Elder Kitchen
