Tired of Emails!!

Hi Mom,

 

I don't really have very much to say about this week, or better said, I really just don't like emailing any more, and I will tell y'all everything that is going on Sunday. The work was slow this week with all the adjustments that we have been making, so we have gotten settled in, and we now have some great plans on how to work with the ward for the rest of my mission. We are really excited for what is going on.

My companion is Elder Bench from Los Angeles. He has one transfer left after this one, so again we are making each other really trunky, but at the same time, I am still working so hard. I haven't let up at all.

This week, the work has been going slow, but we were able to find some great young families with kids who want to be baptized. One is the Rodriguez family and her 8 year old daughter will be baptized on the 16th. That isn't a missionary baptism, but it is going to be great. The other is the Mcswain family where the Mom is a member, and she has two kids that are 8 and 9. They came back to church for the first time this Sunday, and we will probably be teaching the kids soon.

Our other investigators are still doing well! I love y'all and thank you for your support. I am very excited to talk to y'all on Sunday, and we will probably be skyping around 7:00 our time around 6:00 your time. If that doesn't work you can just tell Sis. Klein. I love you Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

Love, Kyle

Dad,

Chase and I will have some crazy one-on-one matchups when I get back. Then all three of us will have to start playing all the time. I am so excited to play with him. That will be great! I can't believe he dunked it two handed on 8 and 1/2. I know I couldn't do that when I was playing at that age. I still can hardly jump.

 

This week was crazy. It was very stressful with the companion change and with zone meeting and it was somewhat slow as far as the work went, but it is getting better, and we have some great plans for the next couple of weeks (which means the rest of my mission). I am excited to come home, but at the same time, I am going to miss being a full-time missionary so much. I wish I could come home and continue being a missionary there at home, but I guess I will have to start becoming a great member-missionary instead.

Questions:

1. How is the new and last companion?

Great! He is the first Elder that I have served around before he was my companion. He is from Los Angeles California, and he has one transfer left after this one. I think it is funny how most of my companions have all been out about the same time as me my whole mission except for when I trained.

 

2. Is he a zone leader too?

No, he is not.

 

3. Are you glad that you are staying in the same area?

Yes, I didn't really want to move for one transfer.

 

4. How was the work this week?

Slow, but we found some great people.

 

5. How was splitting time at the different Church buildings.

It is going OK, the problem is that I like to greet members from both wards, and now I can't.

 

6. How are the investigators coming along?

The Gutierrez family is doing very well, and the Camacho family are still coming to church.

 

7. Do you spend most of your time with the English or Spanish?

We try really hard to make it even, and as of lately, it has been very even.

 

8. Are you taller than when you left, are you wider than when you left?

Maybe taller, but I am the exact same width.

 

9. Any good stories lately? ( old men falling over in the lazyboyz)

Not really.

 

10. Do you know that your parents could not be any more proud of their missionary son?

 

Thank you Dad for all that you are doing to support me, and for all that you have taught me before. I can't wait to talk to you on Sunday! I love you!

 

Love, Kyle
