Hola mis amados amigos,
How great was general conference?! I am still thinking about it. I have been studying from some of the talks and I can't wait to get the new Ensign for November with all the talks in it. It is such a testimony to me everytime I watch general conference that we have living prophets and apostles on the earth that represent the Savior. I am so happy that I have had the priviledge of growing up on the earth when the priesthood and gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored perfectly through a modern day prophet. I am so happy that I can carry this message to people and that we can help people find the truth they deserve to remember.
So we got an interesting call this morning. I have known that we were receiving a new Spanish missionary for a while now. This is big news in the Canada Edmonton mission seeing that there are only four. But it was a big surprise when I found out that I am getting another boy! We are going to be tripanionship and I'll be continuing to train Elder Doxey and also train the new guy. It is going to be crazy! Everyone keeps joking around that I am having twins. ha ha. I dropped as district leader. President Campbell thought that that might be a little too much responsibility. Estoy de acuerdo! (agreed) But I am excited to see what happens and really looking forward to seeing Elder Doxey step up a lot and help me out.
We were able to get the part memebr/less active family we have been working with since I got here to church on Sunday. The ward just soaked them up. It was a great experience for them and the bishop gave a great testimony, I think directed to them. But we taught the Plan of Salvation to Jesus and los amigos on the farm. They all loved it. I love teaching the plan of salvation because it always hits the heartstrings. They all responded to it well and are excited to talk about it more this week. We are continuing to find new people to teach, but the difficult thing right now is getting them to commit and to come to church. But we are working hard and I know that the Lord's hand is truly is in this work. The Food Drive was on Saturday and Alex was a champ. We went out with her to pick everything up and she was talking to people as she picked up the food. We are super happy that she is doing great as she serves others and learns what it means to be a disciple of Christ. I think that church pulled in a bunch of food and money for the people of Edmonton. Its an awesome cause.
But got to go, I love you all. Keep on keepin on! in the gospel that is. Remember that you can always repent, change your ways, and come back into the light.
Mucho amor,
Elder Kipp
