On friday we were walking to our apartment and there was a man on the other side of the street at the bus stop so I decided to go talk to him and I am glad that I did because he was really interested in the Book of Mormon and I was able to set up an appointment with him on Saturday. When we went to teach him it went really well. After we talked to him about the restoration he asked us what the spirit felt like so we asked him how he felt as we told him about Joseph Smith's first vision. He said that he felt warm inside and that Satan couldn't come near him.

We have dinner with a member nearly every night. Saturday night we didn't have an appointment so a member in one of the wards took us and two other Elders in our district out to a place called SaltGrass. It is a steak house and man is it good. He bought us all a 22 oz. porterhouse steak. It was by far the biggest steak I have ever had.
Tracting is way fun! We don't run into a lot of friendly people but the other day we did and two ladies want us to come back and teach them.
The first ward we went to on Sunday there was like 50 people when Sacrament started....it is funny. The Elders Quorum president actually has a house in St. George and is going down there this weekend to go skiing in Brian Head.
Riding a bike is not fun, especially when it is windy. We actually walk a lot. I am definitely tired when I get home. It is hard for me to stay awake until ten thirty.

This is part of the first letter from the Mission field-
We went street contacting and tracting with no luck. It seems weird to me that people aren't members. Everyone we talked to just wasn't interested. It doesn't matter to me though because I know that I am in the Lord's hands and that he will take care of me. Tonight we are going to talk with a man that is getting baptized on the 16th, then we are going to teach another man the first lesson. I am really excited because I get to see two baptisms in my first transfer. I can't wait to see the work unfold in front of my eyes.

Mom and Dad,
I know you just got a letter from me but in the wake of the event that happened last night I thought I would write everyone and let them know that I love you all.
Mom, I know that you are probably having the hardest time out of everyone. I want to let you know that the prophet Gordon B. Hinckley is in a better place and as you were finding out about his death he was hugging our Savior, Jesus Christ and rejoicing with his wife because they are together again. If you start to feel sad I want you to read Moroni 10:34 and act as if President Hinckley was saying it.
Last Sunday we were challenged to double our baptisms by Gordon B. Hinckley's son, Elder Richard G. Hinckley. I know that it was not a coincidence that this challenge was made at this time because it will help us reach our goal. It will show the people that we teach that our church is truly led by Christ not by Gordon B. Hinckley.

This is still while Kenny is in the MTC-The other day all the Elders from Samoa came and visited the Elders that are going to Samoa. They all started singing Lord, don't leave us, Savior don't leave us. It was amazing. I couldn't understand a word they were singing but it was awesome. After that one of the Elder's offered a prayer in Samoan and once again even though I couldn't understand him I knew what he was saying.
On Tuesday we had the opportunity to go to the TRC which is a place where we go to teach volunteers who pose as investigators. I was super nervous as we knocked on the door but as soon as I knocked I knew everything was going to be fine. The spirit took over from there. I didn't have to look at my notes at all. Scriptures are coming to my head that I really didn't plan using. It is crazy how the strong the spirit us here.
