Mullet???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

dont tell me dad has gone southern!!!! I refuse to believe it! NO
mullets, please, i dont think i could take that anymore! If i never see
another mullet after leaving the south, my life will have been lived
well!

lol

funny. Scared me for a second.

Daddy,

I really liked your hair (ew), the sick thing is that super mullet style is everywhere down here. I saw someone like that on sunday, as a matter of fact. This may sound horrible, but i am not a fan of southerners. Dont get me wrong, every once in a while you meet the coolest people in the world, but most of the time, they drive me insane. In fact my comp and i have a theory, that secretly, when the civil war happened, they did in fact seperate the Rebels and the Union, forming two seperate countries. Well thats at least how i feel walking around some of the trailer parks down here. My poor companion hasnt even had the chance to see normal america. He always tells me, (after seeing some crazy americans) that us americans are weird. I proceed to tell him he currently isnt in the US, because he is in the south. lol

Congrats on the High Priest deal. I guess we wont be in the same class anymore when i get back, but that was super weird anyways, for the month that we experienced it. It is an amazing step to be taking, and i am proud of you being willing to take it.

WElll life in Mobile is good... i guess. lol. NO it is amazing. Right now between the two companionships, we have 9 Baptismal Dates. And yesterday elder Martins and I found a family (with potential) of 8! We are sitting on the verge of startign this group, and i am way excited to be here. I had some amazing experiences, between zone conference, and a couple of amazing P-studies, that really have helped me. I finally feel like my good ole self again. And i am way excited to be here.

I will take special note of the miracles that we happen here. and i will make sure to report them better to you all.

Thanks for everything dad. I hope you are happy and doing well. Love everyone a little extra for me ok?

Love you and thanks for allowing me to be out here!

Hey mommy

What a week! Like just about every week, way too many things have
happened for me to be able to fully explain the changes that have taken
place, but hopefully i can communicate some of them.

First off to comment on your email...

THanks for the letters and packages, i have gotten so much mail this
last transfer! I have really needed it to, so thank you. I am very
excited for dad, it will be a good progressing step for him. And i am
super glad you got blessings. Also having a native spanish speaker
in the area will really help the spanish growth. I am super excited for
the ward and for SIs. Christensen.

Well where do i begin? This week some amazing things happened, also
some very hard things happened. This week, we set ONE suprise baptismal
date, found some new investigators, and had an AMAZING, life changing
zone conference. Along with some trials.

Well to start out, we set a baptismal date with Walter, one of our more
solid investigators. That date gets us to 9 baptismal dates between the
two companionships here in Mobile. Some amazing stuff is starting to
happen. Walter has huge potential, but he will not reach it unless he
moves out of the situation he is in. Nasty horrible stuff happens in
that apartment, i have literally and truly felt MANY evil spirits just
strolling around like they own the place (because they do!). HE wants
to change, but he has to do something now.

Aldo, one of our other investigators, is absolutely golden. He came to
church last week, and he is just so ready. He is reading the BoM a ton,
and he loves it. The atonement has changed him. We fasted for him this
sunday, because there was a huge chance he would be relocated to
virginia for work. THANKFULLY, because of some miraculous powers he
will for sure be here until mid-november... and his BCD is the 1st of
november. Also, Alonso, another investigator (actually from where Gav
served in Guanajato) came to church. He has been absolutely
fellowshipped into the ward, and because of this, he has SO MUCH
potential. He professes to be very catholic, but the truth is i think
he has felt something, and because of that he just keeps coming back and
he is very excited!

So then, on thursday of last week, we had zone conference in Pensacola.
I needed it desperately. I just have not felt very mch progress in my
life. I know that i havent been doing my best and giving all of
myself. If you read Presidents letter, the first paragraph is literally
talk ing about me. In our personal interview, i discussed with
president of how for as long as i can remember, i have been a dreamer.
For example, when i was younger, i dreamed all day about being a pro
football player. The problem with beign a dreamer is if i spend all my
time dreaming, i never get down to the doing the work that is required.
President gave me a lot of tips, and i have specifically put them into
practice. The interesting thing, actually i recieved a little Personal
Revelation about it during the conference, is DIRECTLY after i knew i
would be tried to see if really i would act upon these principles he
taught me. Well it happenened, the very next day. I love my comp, but
his drive is about a .5 on a scale from 1-10, and so he basically gave
up that specific friday. And interestingly enough, just like the
Nephites, just like all major civilations that fall for that matter, i
forgot the revelation and did not act upon those principles. I felt
horrible, and i can say now i have repented, but it was tough.

Now is the day. Today is the time. I cannot afford to procrastinate
anymore, because quite frankly i do not know how much time i have left.
None of us do. I have to act over my situation, or (i love this quote
by E. Holland) i might "miss the opportunity of a lifetime because i
miss the lifetime of the opportunity."

Our potential is limitless. Every once in a while, God shows me what i
can become. But i have to work in order to achieve that. It will be
hard, i will feel beaten up from time to time, but it will be worth it.
I want it, i truly want to fufill what He has planned for me, because i
know it is great.

Have a wonderful week. I love you and look forward to reporting all the
miracles that we will see here. Love everyone a little extra for me.

Love you

Elder Kenck
