HOla papi cholo
its sounds like you are doing well! Glad you are liking your classes, as challenging as they may be. Learn a lot so you can teach me some stuff.
I bet you are excited for summer. Im not! Ha! Thanks ok though, we had some huge storms here last week, two days straight of lighting and pouring rain. We also had a dove build a nest on the light outside our door, her name is claudia! And i planted a clementine tree that is starting to grow (i ate the clementine myself!). I actually germinated the thing in a little plastic bag like my crazy 3rd grade teacher taught me... lol. . Oh yeah last week i ran like a 6:50 mile, (not bad for a fat guy?) and i am benching 195 as a heavy set of ten. So thats all the random stuff i could throw at you.
The work is going well. We are working REALLY HARD, i have never been this tired in my life! I love it though, we have high goals set and we are both changing the way we do missionary work, for the better. One of the APs chose to get transfered to ft walton beach to end his mission. He is cool, his name is elder harris, and i have already in one week learned a lot from him.
i love it here! thanks for all you do and for allowing me to be here! Have a wonderful week!
Love you dad
Hi mommy
HOw are you?
I am doing very well right now and i am enjoying life! I am glad you enjoyed stake conference. I have learned a lot about church meetings out here, and the truth is that we can learn so many things if we just pay attention to the spirit. It is HARD to pay attention in spanish. 3 Hours of straight spanish... by 3rd hour i am mentally exhausted! I am glad you got to sing in the choir, hopefully i will get the chance to sing in a choir again!
Wow Jared is going to Guatamala... crazy... i have had a lot of interesting experiences with guatamalans. He will learn A LOT! I am so glad that Trevor is on a mission. He will come back a completely different person, and i am excited to see him afterwards. Yeah i never got a letter from nicole, i would have replied!
Well this week was a great week. A lot of good things happened. My companion and I are beginning to really improve, and i am excited to see the growth we will make by the end of the transfer. I get along with him great, and i am learning a ton from his example. This last week we set the goal of speaking spanish all day until 6 o'clock at night. And we did ok at it! WE have the same goal for this week, and so i am excited. My spanish really has improved here, but it is nowhere near where i want it to be!
We saw a couple of miralces this last week! We taught some great lessons, i got to interview someone for a baptism... and the baptism took place saturday on the BEACH! Crazy. Also, this last week we set a goal for 5 new investigators. We worked hard, but by sunday night we only had two. 3 wonderful miracles happend and we reached our goal yesterday. I am really trying to learn the principle of goal setting... it is something that could bless my life forever if i apply it. I really dont care to be rich or anything like that, but i want to be the best at whatever i do, and goal setting will help me reach that!
Right now we have 6 progressing investigators. 2 (maria and luis) have recieved answers to their prayers on the BoM, 3 (maria mauricio and karen) are amazing, they just need to take a leap of faith now, and the last 1 is a very simple guy from guatamala (Jose) that needs to pray now. I want to see some success with these people. They need the gospel and this little branch here needs them!
I am working my hardest though. I love it here, thanks for your love and support. My testimony is growing liek crazy, and i know this is true. Thanks for letting me be here. Have a wonderful week mom!
Love you
Elder Taylor Kenck
PS since next week is memorial day, i probably will email on tuesday. Happy b-day none the less
