Well here I am again in a little internet place writing the family. I really enjoyed reading the emails that you send
Mom and Dad. Dad you make me crack up when I read your letters haha.
Sounds like you got a long summer filled with high school girl drama
ahead of you. You'll have to find refuge out at the golf club and
hunting with Kit the chubbster. So you sent her out to the doggy fat
farm and she's already gained it all back huh?? haha. I'll have to say
I'm not one bit surprised to hear that you're all in St. George again. I
swear you're out there every single weekend. Sounds like it's been
quite some work getting it all done, but that it's a cool place. Tell
Ashley and Sean congrats for me again. I wish them happiness and
success. It's too bad that I can't be there for the wedding. Just tell Tyler that he's gotta wait for me now because I've already been out here
for a while and he doesn't have a girlfriend right now. Wait it out
from me Ty! Well I'll be praying for you safety and success out in
Washington D.C. Tyler. I'm sure you'll do fine. Oh and Mom yeah
everything arrived safe and sound in the package. I love all the shaving
stuff you put in there and the shaver is awesome! Thank you so much!
Also, I really liked all the candy and stuff. Between my comp. and I,
we've been able ate it all already :) my favorite was the Cadbury eggs. Oh and I
ended up buying a nice tie with the 100 pesos that was in the golden
egg, so thank you.
Anyway we've been working really hard this week.
Elder Knowlton and Elder Durffee had a baptism this Saturday of a woman
named Lupita. It's kinda funny because right before the changes when I
was with Elder Knowlton, I'm the one who contacted her and set up an
appt. I'm glad she got baptized. As for Elder Burden and I, we had some
great lessons with our investigators this week. With the family Estrada
we had a killer lesson! I invited them to be baptized and they all
accepted! We felt good about the 27th, but unfortunately they didn't
show up to church, so we'll have to push it back a week or so. They are
awesome though. Also the Family Beltran Leon, they are doing great. We had a
great lesson on Tuesday with them and at the end we were all smiling and
talking before kneeling prayer in a circle. I felt pure joy in that
moment being with all them. It's those kind of moments that make all
the hard work worth it. Family Beltran Leon are probably some of the
closest people I've gotten to on my mission this far. I love 'em. They
came to church finally too so that was awesome. We also had zone
conference this Friday, which went really well. I learned a lot that I
want to apply to the work. Well the work can be hard at times, but
it's so worth it, and I'm learning so much out here. It's a privilege to
come out and preach the work of God to so many of God's children.
Well I better get off now. I love you guys really. I
hope you know that. If there is anything that I can do...anything in
any small kind of way, please let me know :) I hope that you find this
email with a smile and that you're all doing well. Keep up the good
work!
Con Amor,
Elder Kitchen
P.S.
I don't remember if I told you, but a few weeks ago I finished reading
the Book of Mormon in Spanish all the way through! It was a great
experience. I recommend that each one of you read the B.O.M again no
matter how many times you read it. It's true and a powerful testimony of
the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. Reading it in Spanish
not only increased my knowledge of Doctrine and testimony, but it also
helped me learn Spanish. It is a powerful tool in our lives. Never take
it for granted. It has helped me so much in my life from before my
mission with all the trails, and continues to help me today.
