June 9, 2010

(How has your week been?.....any success/es ?........)
Last week we found some new investigators, so we will see how they progress, but no new baptisms yet though.

(Physical challenges?)
not really yet, i started running yesterday so we will see how that goes.

(Spencer asked Kevin if he is able to attend the Temple.)
We dont get a chance to go to the temple during our two years here. I have really been missing the temple since the CTM time where we got to almost every week. Ive learned how much it really helps in life, even just being there helps. So i hope you and mom are still going as much as possible. i unfortunately have to wait another year to go to the temple again :/

(P-Day fun experiences?)
we are planning to go to the Chocolate factory thats here in Ilheus, since here has many exports of Cocco (sp? chocolate)

well, we had zone conference monday, and it was pretty good. President talked to us about Coley´s (sp?) 7 habits to highly successfull people and how it has gospel roots. (Kevin is referring to Stephen R. Covey!) so ill work to imply those into my life. Also like i said sunday was stake conference, that was good too. i can understand most of what they say, when im not zonning out. haha

not much else is new. ill try to send a little voice message every week or something. so i included another one.
not sure if i said last email, but ive started to read the bible and currently im in Numbers i believe. i just got past the 10 commandments, part haha coincidence. its interesting that right as he got the first set of commandments, the people of Israel had already started worshiping idles and God had to ``dumb down`` the commandments. After reading more, God seems to have to literally lead his people by the hand like little kids, since they arent spiritually strong enough to trust in God completely. Its kinda of sad in a way, cause they couldnt receive all the blessings of the everlasting convenant and such. what to say about to the kids?......good questions. i guess just teach the importance of trusting in the Lord with all your heart, might, mind, and strength.

LEt me know if u hear anything about Andrew, since im not hearing anything.

Well, im not sure if i have anything else to add, so ill talk to you all later!

love you

***Note: Kevin has begun to include an audio recording in his weekly emails. We sent a small recorder with him per the advice of some other missionary families. He is just now able to devote some time to learning how to use it. :O)
