Hey Mom!!

I'm doing good!! We got our key back so we are getting mail and everything is going good.

This past week was pretty good. Like 2 weeks ago we found a lady that is actually from Mexico and we started teaching her. But then we found out she was going back to Mexico so we taught her as much as we could before she left. But we decided to go back one day and talk with her sister and the sisters husband. We have been teaching them and they seem pretty solid. The only is, is that it's hard for them to get work off, and they work on the weekends. So one day this past week we decided to fast for them, so that they would be able to go to church. But the interesting thing that i think i found out, is that God will bless you in whatever way he wants. Cuz that day we ended up finding 2 solid investigators. A guy named R and then a 14 year old kid named K. And I'm just gonna talk about K, cuz he is tight. We started teaching him and he let us in and we just talked. We are good friends, and we have passed by and taught him quite a bit. But this last time that we passed by we watched the Restoration video with him and the spirit was super strong. We asked him to pray at the end, and didnt tell him what to say. His prayer was awesome and it hit me so strong. He said "thank you for having these 2 guys come over and help me through my hard times, bless the unforatunate so that they can have things, and bless people to know, that the Book of Mormon is true, because I believe it to be true.." It was so awesome!! My face just lit up, he is such a solid kid and he loves us. It hit me how real this all is, Being out here and helping people and sharing the truth with them. You never know who you are going to affect in your life. But you need to live in a way so that you can affect people in a good way. I love this gospel and what I'm doing.

So that is kinda my awesome story for this past week. This past week was pretty funny too. We met a lot of intersting people. And one thing that is interesting is that there are a few like Vietnamese people here in Dodge city, that dont speak english or spanish. So sometimes we happen to knock on there doors and they dont understand anything. So this past week that happened to us. And my companion Elder Kelley as we were talking to the asian was just like "Ya my companion smells really bad huh?" and he was just like ya ya ya like smiling. And then Kelley was like "ya he is really ugly i know, okay well bye!" and then we just left haha. I just started laughing cuz i wasnt expecting that at all. It was hilarious cuz he didnt understand a thing, he just agreed with us. Haha.

So School is about to start here in Dodge. College has already started buy like high school and elementary start like this Thursday or something. So that is really weird, now everyone is gonna be gone. One of these days were going on a tour of the meat factories and I'm super excited for that. I'm trying to think of some other fun things that have happened this past week, but I can't really think of anything. Well, I love you all, thank you for all your love and support. You are all in my prayers. Be safe.

Love,
Elder David James Kingsley
