Thank you all once again for making my P-day just a bit sweeter with your love, prayers, and E-mails. First off I have to announce that Timette &*^%^&% sent me a package and it was awesome because my companion got 13 letters at interviews (by the way I haven’t got a hand written letter in some time :( ) but I got a huge package filled with love and happiness that I was able to show him again and again! Second off it Seems like things are going smoothly back home as the St. George McKenna’s continue playing football as well as ‘catching them all’ as Jackson and Carson get into Poke Môn cards! While Jackson and Carson go on their quest to be the very best :) the Vegas McKenna’s plan an invasion to Disneyland for teacher in-service day (one of my all time favourite days!) as well as mom and dad plan on heading up to the Cabin were they will watch General Conference (by the way I can’t even being to describe to you how much I love General Conference now!) and the Zurflueh’s were finally able to be seen by the world as the Ace of Cakes show aired their wonderful spaghetti bowl cake of the world! How amazingly amazing is our family! In answer to some questions that have been asked… I have served in 3 areas now 2 of which have been big cities (Altringham and Middleton) and one of which was a very small town (Barrow-in-Furness)… Yes, I have seen some amazing ruins from old Castles to Roman roads and walls England really is the most amazing place!
Well, I was thinking that it has been some time since I just sent some fun pictures so… the first picture is a picture of the YSA of the ward I am serving in (they are all way crazy),
the second picture is of Elder Soule (who is now Scott Soule),
the third picture is of two members in the ward John Harvey (red hair) and David Lane they just became roommates and they almost started their flat on fire with a pizza they left in the oven!
The fourth picture is of me and Elder Perry at a ward social (I’m teaching my son how to find people to teach through the art of dance :) ),
the fifth picture is of me (in the middle), Bombhead (the kid who is above me, who is an investigator whom we are teaching [his real name is Daniel but they give him the nickname Bombhead], and Edwin (the kid who is next to me [he is the son of member in the ward].
The last picture is of me and Elder Perry when we got locked into the chapel and had to wait for someone to come with a key! (What is written on the black board is ‘we will never leave the keys with the sisters again’ because we had let the sister missionaries borrow the chapel key)
The mission life is so fun, so spiritual, so hard, and so rewarding all at the same time. I have never felt closer to my Father in Heaven then I do now and I know that this really is his work. I can’t wait for General Conference this weekend and I hope that you’ll all be able to watch it back home.
All of my love,
Elder McKenna
