Hola mis amigos! Como estamos?!
Hace calor en Canada. Its been really hot lately. Around 90 degrees Farenhiet. So it reminds me of summers back in San Diego. Too bad we cannot go jump in the ocean like we used to. Don't get me wrong it is not as bad as the -40, but it is still hot!
This week was really fun. We were able to help a lot of people do fun service. There was a member in one of our wards that was re-doing his garage and he called us to see if we would help him do the drywall and everything that it entails. I never thought that it was so much work. We took about 2 hours during 2 days this week and it was really fun. I now know what to do (somewhat) if I ever need to drywall me garage. I love all the members up here. We have meet a couple that we have not been able to meet with either because they are busy or they are less-active. They are all trying to do their best to learn English and it is amazing the courage they have to come to a country were barely anyone speaks there own language. You were right Dad, you get to love the people you serve more than you have before in your life. Hermana Delafuente cooked for us last night and she is one of my favorite people out here. She is always correcting my Spanish and tells me that I need to move to Peru to meet a nice wife. She always says that if I go, to any latin country for that matter, that I would be married in no time at all. She is hilarious. It has been funny learning the way that peolpe from all the different countries speak. Their humor is different and you got to know the context in which they say some things. I have thought that people have said the worst things, when they are actually really innocent phrases, according to them.
German is still progressing really quickly and he is still working with his wife to get baptized. He is really wanting to get baptized but his wife is just not too comfortable with the idea. It is hard to have patience sometimes because I know the blessings that will enter into his life, but also I understand how hard it would be for his wife. I don't worry about him too much though, he will be just fine. Mauricio is doing pretty well, but he is just beign a little hesitant and getting baptized so soon. There is someone or something holding him back and I pray that we can help him get over this obsticle. Justine and Cloti are still reading and trying to recognize the awnsers from the Spirit. Colti loves church adn it was awesome yesterday. A returned missionary named Evan that had been in Spain for a year teaching English came back yesterday, and they instantly hit it off. He said that he will be able to come to their lessons from now on. Cloti asks the best questions too. It is soo great as a missionary when someone asks a golden question and te Spirirt just starts jumping up and down in the room. (that was a wierd description) But things are looking good here on the front lines and the Lord's work is still pushing along.
I have a strange incling to tell everyone to GO TO THE TEMPLE. I wish we had more time to go, but there are millions of people waiting for the blessings of the gospel but they do not have the means to obtainer the ordinances nessecary. It is such a blessing that we have to do this service for so many people. And it is time for you to relax and spend time with Heavanly Father.
Shout out to T-Stone who just got home from the field, and also to Nathan Neeley who is just beginning his amazing journey in the MTC. Love you both, may the Lord bless you!! And everyone else por supuesto!!
Mucho Amor,
Elder Kipp
