¡Hola muchachos!
¿Cómo estamos? Well, it is getting a lot colder here in the great north. The first snowfall came today. Elder Doxey and I were really feeling up to the occasion so we got up early and went for a run in it! It was super fun and really cool to say that we went running in the Alberta snow. But I am actually looking forward to the winter even though everyone is saying that it is going to be terrible. Last years winter was not even classified as winter. It seemed like winter to me!
We had a really cool week. General Conference was definitely a highlight. Man! I can't believe that the age changed for all the missionaries. I would already be home by now, isn't that crazy to think. I personally think that it is a great thing because we lose so many potential missionaries in that year of "limbo" between high school and mission. Hopefully that gives more time for missionaries to go out and serve. And its even more crazy that the sisters can go at nineteen. We are going to receive so many more sisters, and its a good thing too. Cause lets face it, they are better teachers than the guys. he he But all the talks were very good. Especially Elder Holland's. I love how he reads between the lines in the sciptures. I hope that I will be that good someday. Also, President Eyring's talk was incredible. We are going to be showing that to many of the less active members up here because many of them form "pavilions" between them and Heavenly Father.
Alex and Chris are already doing missionary work. We met their downstairs neighbor that happens to be from Guatemala. They were really anxious for us to meet him and start talking to him about the Book of Mormon, which changed both of their lives drastically. But we shared the BOM with him and he is really looking forward to reading it because he suffers from insomnia and he can't find any books to read in Spanish. We are looking forward to talking with him this week. Los Amigos up in the farm are doing very well. We are going to be talking to them about the Plan of Salvation and I think they are going to respond very well to that. Jesus is also doing great. He has not been able to come to church yet but he is reading the Book of Mormon and liking it. We had a lesson witht the older lady from Peru this past week as well. But we found out something very important. She has been baptized. We extended a baptismal committment and she told us that she was baptized in a river in 1970. Good for us to know! But she is so sweet and she treats us like her kids. We are excited to help her regain her testimony so that when she gets back to Peru, she can hit the ground running. I got a letter from German and he is doing awesome. The missionaries are seeing them every monday and helping them progress towards baptism. I love that guy!
But everything is going good up here in Canada. I send my love and un abrazo para todos!
Mucho Amor
Elder Kipp
