Hey Family,
Hope you all had an awesome week! Staying safe in the heat. It is getting hotter here but it has also been raining a lot. But it is still hot and humid. I am looking forward to the cool Utah October weather. Great time to return home. :D
Sister Tada and I have been working on building relationships with the ward members since before it was kind of hard. So we were able to visit many members and do mogi lessons and talk about missionary work. One member we visited showed us her very own dendo kit (missionary kit) that she takes with her everywhere. She carries flyers, pass along cards and the missionaries phone number's. After visiting her I started thinking a lot about her dendo kit and I came up with the idea that when we visit memebers we should give them their onw dendo kit. A lot of members want to do missionary work but don't know how and don't have the tools to use. I am really excited about this and think it will really help the members. My goal before I leave is to have every member have a dendo kit and to have more fire for the work than when I first came here. Right now I feel like that is my purpose here. We have no investigators which has been hard and we of course will continue looking for new investigators but I really feel like the Lord wants us to strengthen this part of Zion and has given us this oppurtunity to focus on the members. I am exicted and feel very strongly about this. We gave our first one to a family on Saturday. The wife was baptized 2008 and the husband 09 so we talked about their conversion and talked about the power that they have. Really this work is members work. The missionaries are a resource, someone to help. Many people think the members job is to help the missionaries but is the other way around. I have learned that so strongly on my mission. I am determined to be a great member missionary when I go home. The family accepted the kit and said they would do their best to use it. It should be good. Funny story while visiting that family. They are a 3 year old son and when we walked into the house he had on no pants or diaper or anything. That was a funny site to see. His parents kept putting his pants on but he would keep pulling them off and then while we were sitting down talking to them he would come up behind me and climb on my back. It was really funny.
Besides the awesome revelation we received about how to help the members that is basically it. Not much really happend this week. Accept for the hills continually trying to kill me. I've mentioned the hills right? They are big and long and everywhere. My body will be in a good biking shape when I get home and will look good that is for sure. haha
Well I love you all. I can't believe it is the end of July, next week Justin and Amanda are getting married and in a month Megs leaves to start her adventure. How fast time goes which makes it even more important to hold on to and enjoy the moments that we have. Because too soon they just become memories. Enjoy every moment of this week!!
Love,
Kenzie
