Transferred!

Sorry everyone for not writing last week. I am doing great sorry if I made you concerned, but last week one of my investigators was murdered, so p-day I was at her funeral. Her name was (out of courtesy we have decided to not put her name in the blog) and she was murdered by her drunk ex-boyfriend. She was pretty young and she read the Book of Mormon everyday. She was even reading it before she died. That one family I baptized was really good friends with her and they found her book of Mormon open and covered in blood and after they showed us. There has been a lot of killing in Ponte lately, well all of Pernambuco. Wednesday i was leaving my area for the zone meeting and we passed by a man lying dead in the street, he got knifed in the neck by a crazy druggy. Its been a really depressing week but it has allowed me to think about the spirit world and stuff. Anyway I baptized a young girl Mercia on Sunday and she is 4 months pregnant, so that was really neat. She is going to kill it in the relief society! She is super smart and spiritual. 

Anyhow, I was transferred and I’m now officially in Recife,..kind of.. my new area is called Jenipapo, I think. It’s really big and has tons of hills. It doesn’t feel real. 6 and half months is a long time to be in one area, but I loved it. Looking back, if I could, I would have no problem staying there for my entire mission. I had a lot of baptisms there. I baptized more than any other Elder in the history of the area. kkkk a humilde da cara (hah humble guy). 20 baptisms. I know numbers aren’t important but our President definitely wants us to have high goals. My new comp is district leader. Haha I always have District Leader’s as companions. He is chill though. He is a native. I’m stoked to be transferred and move on but man I loved my time in Ponte and love the members there. A lot of people really changed my life, and I will definitely come back to visit again after the mission. That’s so sick Dana had her baby. Blake looks like a stud thanks for the pics. Time is flying by but I’m trying to keep on working hard and making the most out of my mission here in Brasil. I love it so much and I know this gospel is true. 

Love you all!

Elder Kennedy

That’s way sick Joe is going work for Bro. Chapman, I bet Joe is gonna reel in the big money here soon.

I will send fotos next week for sure.
