Quick Update

WEE!

This last week was all over the place. We have been running around like maniacs trying to get everything together in our area so that we can get out and start working really well with the zone. We have found a lot of success. We have a family of five that will possibly get baptized this month (we just need to help the dad get over some problems with the Word of Wisdom), and another family that is definitely going to get baptized next Saturday. On top of them we have a few other individuals that are progressing really really well that will also be making covenants very soon.

The zone is doing ok. We are having a few problems with a couple of sister missionaries that are less than enthusiastic about being here on a mission and finding out that work and obedience are naturally expected as a result, but they are doing ok. Things are looking up. We had a really good zone meeting yesterday to try and get everything up. We also have an activity planned for the zone if we can reach our goal of baptisms for this month (28 baptisms in six wards).

Elder Alegre Soto and I are doing really well. I remember when I met him for the first time when he was with Elder Ramirez in Independencia, and he has grown and changed a lot since then. I think I'm still the same dork that I was back then, so I am grateful to have a companion that will help me to keep growing and getting better. We have fun working together and we are going to have a lot of success.

Our work with the ward is going well. It is so nice to have a fully-functioning ward mission leader once again, and ours is really good. He is an ex-missionary, which is also really nice. Last Saturday we had an activity with the youth of the ward where we basically took them out contacting all morning, and found a few families that could progress nicely. The youth here are so strong! I am really excited to continue working with them.

That is about it for now. Have a wonderful week! :D

Love,

Elder Kennington

Three pics:

1. There are two dogs on the roof next to ours that always bark like crazy when we walk by.

2. This is the view from our house. If there wasn't so much smog you would be able to see the volcano and two of my old areas (Las Torres and Universidad).
