Hey,
So how awesome was conference?! It was so much
fun watching it in the "gringo room" in English. There were 6 of us gringos: Elder Johnson, Elder Stewart, Elder Christensen, Elder Burk, Hermana McKarthy
and me. All the talks were so awesome, and as a missionary you feel so
spiritually fortified because of them. I'm glad you all liked the pictures! No Elder Gonzalez is not my comp. Elder Burk is still my companion but we live
with Elder Gonzalez and he likes to be in pictures. That’s why he is in a lot
of them. Some of you had some questions about transportation here. The answer
is we walk everywhere in our sector (which is relatively small), but if we
leave our sector we might take a collectivo which is kind of like a taxi but
they only drive in specific routes. There are also the micros, or public bus
system that we can use depending on where we need to go. Our other option is
the Metro which is the train or subway system, you can get all over the city on
this. Collectivos cost 450 pesos per person, which is about a dollar, The micro
and the metro you pay with a BIP card. You put money on the card and every time
you get on, you beep your card. It is all relatively cheap. I am glad to hear
all is well with everyone. Happy 55th Birthday dad! Congrats on graduating Joe!
That’s so cool! Sorry I’m gonna miss it bro. But
now you get to finally move down to SD! That’s awesome. I’m glad the bikes are
good. Ken is awesome for watching out for them.
Down here things are going awesome. We have an investigator named
Mario, we found him while we were contacting. He was sitting on the sidewalk
reading the bible, we later found out he does that everyday for a few hours. He
was a drug addict that wanted to change so he locked himself in his room for a
week and did nothing but pray and read the bible the only time he left his room
was to eat. He overcame his addiction and he now spends his time helping
addicts learn the gospel and over come their addictions through Christ as he
did. Also our investigator Juan has his baptism this Saturday. He is super
exited and so am I. I love being a missionary. The life is hard but extremely
worth it. I love you guys! Thank you for all of your support and love for
me.
Love
Elder Kennedy
