Hello!
Joe and Renee, that’s sick you had an amazing
unforgettable cruise! Jealous, but not too jealous. I’m taking advantage of this
wonderful full time mission. It is the best thing ever!!!! Então, novidades?
Changes! Lets see… I was transferred!!!! Hahhakkkk. Yeah that’s right, I was
separated from my son, but I have visiting privileges because I am in the same
zone (casa amarela).
I was in Jenipapo but I was transferred to
Macaxeira (the bordering area). I’m stoked because I am opening this area!!! I
got my new companion Elder Santana from São Paulo. Wooohooo my first “Paulista”
companion! He is so sick. Anyway as I was saying, we are opening this area
because the President closed it because of apostasia, just kidding. But the last
groups of missionaries really did nothing here and lost the confidence of the
ward. So Elder Santana and I are here to gain the confidence and get some people
into the waters of baptism! Opening an area is super hard. Neither of us knows
where any of the members live, and most importantly where our lunch
appointments are and who they are with hahah j/k.
The apartment was a complete mess so we had to
clean it up and unpack. Oh yeah, this house is notorious as the house of
scorpions! Yeah, so I have only seen 2 scorpions so far during my time here in
Pernambuco but now I have the wonderful opportunity of making friends with our
venomous roomates hahaha. The Elders that have lived here in the past have
found about 3 scorpions a week, yes!!!! I haven’t seen one yet since we cleaned
the place, but I’m keeping my eyes peeled. My son Elder Gonzales stayed in
Jenipapo. He is all trained and knows the area better than me, because he is
such a stud. His Portuguese has improved exponentially and continues to improve
everyday. Just his accent is heavy and it rubbed off on me, when I
answered the phone and spoke to Elders from the district, they said I have the
Peruvian accent. Haha its all good, I’m going to lose it real fast with my Paulista
companion.
Hope everyone is just stoked to be alive and enjoying the blessings
from God.
Com amor,
Élder Kennedy
