I Love This...

Hola muchachos,

How is everything going in the lives of everyone that reads these? I hope that you get some inspiration from these letters because I sure am having a wonderful time out here. I hope that all my experiences will help someone out. Thanks for always reading and I can feel all your prayers.

So things are going good. This week was full of days of Zone leader things. We got to go on exchanges with Sylvan Lake. Really different going on exchanges within your ward, just another part of it. They are doing great work out there and we are really moving the work forward with the ward. We are having a lot more correlation with the ward mission leader and the ward missionaries. We are going through our ward mission plan and seeing how we can modify it to meet the needs of the ward. There are a lot of members of the ward that are missionary minded and we are trying to focus the effort so that we can help more people.

We left Thursday night and went to Edmonton for MLC and exchanges with the assistants. It was fun staying at the assistant's pad for two nights. We are going to be seeing a lot of them because they are coming down tomorrow for zone conference on Wednesday. Talk about busy. We gave a training at MLC on effective studies and helping missionaries have more spiritual experiences with their studies. I have learned a lot about studying on my mission (you were right Dad). But it was President Campbells last meeting with all of us together. He is leaving in 2 weeks. But he gave the most powerful testimony I have heard from him and he pretty much handed the mission over to us and told us that we need to hold everything up as the shift happens. The spirit was incredibly strong and we all feel comfortable with the responsibilty. I love that man with all my heart and know he is called of God through inspiration. We are looking forward to Zone Conference this week and I will let you all know how it goes.

I send my love and respect,
Elder Kipp
