Weekly Update

Hey everyone, 

My old companion Elder Clark went home on Monday because his mission was up. That was sad to say goodbye. He was an amazing missionary. (The first picture is of me and him right before he left). So I had to drive down to the valley on monday to get my new companion then drive back on tuesday. over 500 miles in 2 days. Straight Cray Cray. My new companions name is Elder Orme. (He is the second picture). He has a minor mental disorder. This will definately be a big learning transfer.

So an update on who we are teaching.

We have started teaching an 14 year old, named Megan, who hasn't been baptized. We have set a date for her for August 23rd. Her parents are not very active, but Megan has a lot of support from the young womens and Leaders. Megan is very shy, but is starting to open up a little bit.

Another family we are trying to work with is the Fischer family who has an 9 year old that isn't baptized. They live in a ski resort about 30 minutes outside of Eagar. The Family has a desire to come back to church, but just needs the right push and for him to get off work on Sunday. They are an super awesome family though.

Another Lady we are teaching is Nancy Ward. Her grandson is on a mission in England and is the only member in his family so he challenged his whole family to read the Book of Mormon and meet with the missionaries. As she is reading from the Book of Mormon and meeting with us she definitely sees that what she has heard about Mormons in the past is not true and is starting to warm up to us. She really enjoys reading from the Book of Mormon.

There is a lot of potenital in these areas. A lot of good things happening here!

Well love ya all, 
Love Elder Kennedy
