Time keeps on rollin' by. That's
cool that you guys got to go to St. George for the weekend. I'm glad you
all had fun. Dad do you golf at that course a lot, or not really that
much? It seems like a nice course, and I'm excited to check it out
someday. I not sure if I mentioned it last week, but Grandpa's other
letter came already! I really enjoyed it. Thanks Gramps! Oh and don't
worry we are all doing just fine up there in Puebla. We are really fortunate to not have any problems at all. The weather was really
gloomy for a while, but nothing out of the ordinary, so don't worry all
is well. Hah Dad don't worry when I get home I'm gonna work my butt off
at school and work hard to learn as much as I can. The mission has given
me an even deeper drive to learn as much as I can in this life. There
is so much to learn!! With hard work and drive I know that I can be
successful in anything I set my hands to. Utah won huh? I'm not too upset..I'm thinking about going there...sorry I
know that's like going against the family! We'll see what happens
right?
This week was a little rough. We had a hard time
putting appointments and finding our investigators this week. It was
probably the slowest week here in Atlixco so far. It's okay though,
because not every day or week is going to be perfect. I could see that
some of our investigators weren't really progressing like they should
be. They were kind of getting comfortable...so we went to town throwin'
it down the way it is. Preach my Gospel Missionaries! I actually ended
up dropping one of our investigators because she just wasn't doing
anything we asked. That's how it is sometimes...we gotta have time to
find the CHOSEN. I had a super cool experience yesterday on Sunday.
We finally saw one of our great investigators named Brenda. She is
really sincere and she started sharing some of her doubts and concerns
with us. She said she has felt that our message is true and that she
should be baptized, but she said that she has also had unforgettable
experiences with the Catholic Church too. She started asking some really
difficult questions after sharing some deep experiences. Literally..I
didn't know what to say. I sat thinking for a moment and said a prayer
in my heart. Then...I opened my mouth. Totally by the Spirit. Then I
opened the Book of Mormon not knowing where we were going to read at
all. Blank. As I flipped through it's pages I was just depending on the
Spirit 100%. I received a prompting to go to 1 Nephi 32 and read the
chapter...it was perfect. Great experience.
We had a class this Sunday
in principles of the Gospel about how we should develop our talents in
this life. That along with many other things I have learned out here has
motivated me to do just that. I have a vision of what I what to do and
how I want to do it. That's why I was talking bout how this is much to
learn. If you put you mind and heart into something, nothing is
impossible. Even if you think that it is something that you think you
cannot do. God has given us so many talents and opportunities. Today is
the day to be who you've always wanted to be. Love you all so much. I
send all the love that I got to everyone back there in Utah town. Thank
you for everything. Que tenga una semana llena de sonrisas y felicidad!
Un fuerte abrazo
Con Amor,
Elder Ryan Kitchen
