HELLO!

Now that is what I like to see… some people are changing there ways, I got some
emails from people that I haven’t gotten anything from for quite some time; but
there is still one non-writer out there and he knows who he is (notice that I am
getting more specific :)) and hopefully they will feel the godly sorrow that is
due, repent of their ways, and rejoice in the day of their letter writing! But
only time will tell :)…

Life back home seems to be going fantastic (as always)… The Wankiers are
enjoying the time they have with the wee ones and it would seem that Aidan is a
massive T-Rex fan and also a bit of a cheerleader (which was revealed while
watching Jurassic Park when he began cheering the T-Rex on when it was eating
the Raptors). Jeff had a successful EFY and is still the Father of Ellyse
McKenna. I received a picture of Chelsey’s new car :) and I think… it looks…
just… mank (and none of you will know what that word means :) ) but as for
Chelsey herself things seem to be going just fi
ne, she continues to gain
insights into the world of big words and funny drawings and soon, as I have
stated in the past, the cure for cancer shall be within her grasp! The
Zurfluehs are doing well with Jenni growing the property management into 300
properties! And they have hired a full time worker on the Tenet Pro program
(but we all know that there is no way that she can be as good as me… right :P).
Apparently the Transformer movie is really good and just as exciting as the
previous one so I am up for so more feed back because right now we have only one
witness for each side and as we know it is by the mouth of two or three that
these things will be established :). I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT TYSON PARKER IS HOME
NOW! I also can’t believe how close Jaryn is to coming home! It’s just
ridiculous! Tell Tyson that I say ‘Hi’. Now onto the conundrum that is Connor
Anderton… I have received nothing but a wedding invitation and THAT IS JUST NOT
GOOD ENOUGH! Tell him that I need a real letter not just some ridiculous (all
though it did look very nice) non-letter wedding invitation and kindly remind
him that all though he is in love it was matchmaker extraordinar (and maybe one
other person) that brought them together so tell him that I need a letter! In
answer to some questions that were given… no you can’t forward E-mails from

friends to me, anything from friends has to be through the post only the family
can E-mail me… yes, that last picture of me and Elder McIntosh was taken in the
flat… Mom and dad can’t pick me up because of the visa restrictions for
Missionaries in the UK… Now, in answer to these last questions, when I get home
I would love to go to Disneyland! And if you want to get me things for
Christmas don’t buy me missionary stuff just buy regular stuff and give it to me
when I come home.

Once more the moment comes were I have the privilege of giving you as much of an
insight into my week as I can in but a short amount of time and in words that
are almost always difficult for me to express. This past week something has
happened that has never happened on my mission before and it is what I will
share with you all today. Thursday July16, 2009 Elder McIntosh and I were
walking a street known as Holt… a street where a good amount of people usually
are, and we were having alright success we had met some people who set up
appointments with us but nothing to solid or amazing until we met a man walking
around the corner by the name of Yestin. Yestin is from India and when we
started talking to him about the Book of Mormon he started to get very excited
and wanted to meet with us later that day but couldn’t meet in his house because
h
e lived with like 6 other people so we made arrangements to meet him right were
we met him in about 4 hours… We went back, he was there, we walked to the chapel
(about a 10 minute walk from were we where), taught him the restoration and the
Spirit was very strong. The following Saturday a baptism was happening in the
Chester ward… we invited him to come, he came, he saw it, he loved it, and he
wants to be baptized! The next day he came to all three hours of church and
loved it! Now he is preparing himself to be baptized for the 29th of August and
is so ridiculously prepared to hear the Gospel! Once more I can not even begin
to describe the outstanding feelings that come from being involved in such a
marvellous work! It wasn’t my words, personality, or even my good looks ;) that
have caused this change on Yestin… surely it is the Spirit sent by God to help
his children understand the potential they really have! I absolutely know that
this is the Lords work, he knows his children on a very real and individual
basis, and above all I know that he loves us so much and I can I feel it within
my heart every time I speak to someone on the street… Our God is a God of love!

With all my Love,
Elder McKenna

P.S. I would still love a tooth brush head to the posh tooth brush you gave me
for my B-Day :)
