I remembered to post!!!


Whats up

well it sounds like you all had a good week. Quick comments on your email... i am a little jealous of Sterling... i wish i had a native comp, and i am still set on studying outside the country someday... just so you know.

So this week was good. It wasnt perfect though. At all. But this week should be good, because frankly i am a little more committed to giving it my all, and i am sure the results will be visible, because they almost always are. Hopefully i am going to revamp my diet, and do a little better with it. I have plateau-ed at around 186, which means i have overall lost weight on my mission... but the truth is i think just the muscle went away and was replaced by fat. My spanish has also Plateau-ed, and so i am trying to discover new ways of improving... but i think it all comes down to speaking spanish is the companionship. ELder Aldous' spanish is just as good as mine. He learned very quickly, and he has a wide vocab. My problem is that i know lots of words, and i know the grammar really well, but i am not a fast thinker, and so my everyday speech is void of my true vocabulary... so i dont know how to improve that, other than just speak more. I am very good at writing and reading in spanish.

Hey, this is super random, but i was reading in the new Ensign (or Liahona in my case) about food storage. I really feel strongly that we need to update and work on the food storage. I know it isnt fun, and it costs money, but i really ahve been feeling strongly about it.

I am doing well. I love it here and i am really trying to improve and do my best. Please pray for me, specifically that i can improve and progress, in spanish and teaching skills.

Love you lots hope all is well

Elder Kenck
