¡Hola!

Buenos Dias mis amigos,

We are doing great this wonderful cloudy day in Edmonton. Spring is on its way! Everything is starting to melt, and it is beautiful. If I was not going to BYU I would consider staying up here for school. The University of Alberta is beautiful and well renouned. I never thought that I would say that I love Edmonton. I truly do love it and I am so excited for the summer. BBQ's and mosquitos. ha ha

We received a new investigator this week. The sister missionaries were walking down the street and a lady stopped them in front of the church and asked them, "I would like to know about this church, do you know anything about it?" They were stunned and said of course. So they gave her a church tour and taught her about some doctrine. It turns out that she is from Mexico and is really ready to learn. We are excited to start teaching her. It is amazing to me how the Lord places people that he is preparing in your path. I am also convinced that if we are being obedient and sacrificing what we can, the Lord places more opportunities in our path. We just have to have the wisdom to look around and recognize them.

We also started another English class on jueves. A few people came including someone that we used to teach and also the family that just moved here from Spain. We are hoping that this can be another tool to get new people to teach. People really want to learn English. It is really funny because as soon as we walk in we say that they can't speak anymore Spanish. But we are finding ourselves slipping because we speak Spanish too. It is really hard for all of us to only speak English. But it is a great program that helps them in their work and everything that the need to do throughout the week. Like in school, at the bank, and at the store. We even throw some church stuff in there to spark their interest more.

We also had a pretty powerful lesson last night with a less active guy and his nephew. Elder Schubbert and I are really starting to find our groove in teaching. His Spanish has gotton a lot better and he has a lot more self confidence. It is really good to see that the Lord is preparing him to train. But the Spirit was really strong and we asked him "If you knew that all these things were true, would you get baptized?" The Spirit really hit him and he said "Claro". So that is the sign that he wants to be taught more. I love asking people that. Because the Spirit backs up that question more than most.

I love it up here more than ever and I am excited for what the next months hold in store. I send you my love and prayers.

Mucho Amor,

Elder Kipp
