Hello!
Once again my heart is softened and filled with gratitude as I have read over your E-mails, I'm so thankful for all of your wonderful attitudes!
Meghan's soccer team is going to be interviewed by the local TV station (AAAAAAA THAT'S SO COOL) and her team was the first team to win a state cup game! And Ellyse is in the Future Farmers of America Livestock show with her lamb and apparently if anyone knows any cowboys Ellyse would be interested in meeting them :). Some advice to Jackson on practicing the piano, DO IT! It is such an amazing skill to have not only in your mission but girls really like a man who can 'tickle the ivories'; so don't just put your books out so it looks like you practiced like I did :). I can't believe that the Zurflueh clan talked in Sacrament meeting and that Irelynn wrote her own talk!!! I know that everyone did fantastic because Chynna, Irelynn, and Kai are amazing and I know, with out a shadow of a doubt, that their testimonies of the prophets that have been in this, the fullness of times, is solid! Max, Christiano Renaldo is one of the most talked about names in England; it is amazing how famous the soccer players are here! I'm glad that my spirit and enthusiasm for Volleytensockpongball has continued on in the youth :) especially in Chynna! And Kai now has glasses yes! Now we will look even more alike, I love it!!! As for you, Chelsey, things are going amazing, moving down to Huston (even though it is a little soon, NEXT WEEK) and getting ready to cure cancer, you know the basic things :) we all know it's just a matter of time until your super famous (even more famous than
Christiano Renaldo). Thank you all so much for your letters and your love, I love reading about the crazy shenanigans you all get into. By the way my favourite scripture is Jeremiah 16:16 "Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks." No one escapes Elder McKenna and I will find those who are ready and prepared to hear the Gospel! As for my mission in about 4 weeks a little known leader of the church by PRESIDENT UCHDORFT second councillor in the first presidency! Will be visiting the missionaries in the Manchester England Mission! How amazing is that! And on a more micro mission note my area is doing amazingly well the members of this ward are really
beginning to get into missionary work and things are beginning to progress! Our investigators are all working on separate commandments to overcome but are praying and doing all they can to overcome which I know that they will because there hath no temptation taken them but such as is common to man and God is faithful who will not suffer them to be tempted above that they are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that they will be able to bear it! As I have been working with others who have had difficulties in their lives that I have had the blessing of never having to experience I have begun to gain a greater connection with my Father in Heaven. As I have looked back on my prayers before my mission as to what my prayers are on my mission I can see a clear difference. God truly is our Father in Heaven he truly does hear us when we pray and he knows what it is that we are going through. Never allow yourself to get into the idea that prayer is something we must do because it is a commandment but always remember that prayer is our way to communicate with a
loving Heavenly being who wants nothing but our immortality and Eternal Life. Please, keep in remembrance that God wants to help us, that we truly are not perfect, and that we do need the Savior to help us overcome the challenges and difficulties of life! I exhort you all to pray with real intent and with sincerity of heart knowing, not thinking, but knowing that God hears you because I testify that he does and that he loves each and every one of us! With all my love
Elder McKenna
