Hey Family!!

Things are doing good here up in Dodge City. It is a little warm and I'm sweating like a pig, but its enjoyable. By the way yes, i did get your package. Sorry for not letting you know. Thank you for the Seeds and the Candy, it's gone. And the stickers and Temple recomend holders. Those are way cool!!

Being flushed is hard. But its getting better. When we first got here we didnt know anyone. And our DL was in Cali cuz he had to renew his papers or something and he just got back. So it was alittle rough. Cuz there was no one here before us. They just threw us in like an add on i guess. So we didnt have investiagtors or anything. So it has been a little rough. But we are doing good i love it, the members are awesome and the people here are great. But this past week was good. We had Zone Conference yesterday and it was awesome. It helped me a lot. We talked a lot about adversity, and then also about these new 8 lessons that they are going to begin teaching us. We went over the first one and it was awesome. It is going to help us teach a lot better and be better missionaries!! :) I'm super excited for it!! Right now we dont have any new investigators. But pray that we can continue to find. I didnt realize how important the ward is when it comes to missionary work. SO keep up the good work your doing. Cuz it helps a lot i promise :) I am in a branch where we are all working together and giving refferalls and everything. It's a lot different then alamosa.

So there is this really cool convert family of about 6 months, but they are english. And we talked to them and we are pretty tight. But like the other day we were tracting in his neighborhood and he saw us and invited us in and we started talking. I found out that his 12 year old son plays the bass, like in orchestra. And apparently he is like the best in Dodge City? Really good or soemthing idk. But i was like I HAVE to come over and play, and he was like ya he is getting his bass the 16 or something. So I'm gonna swing, cuz actually we are having a dinner with him cuz he is inviting all the missionaries. So when we go i'm gonna play!! AHH I'm super excited :)

Well i'm sorry i dont have pictures yet. I need to get like a cord or something that i can plug into my camera, or i will just have to borrow someones. I just forget to ask and bring my camera. So you will get pictures. AHH so you did get the pictures from the manassah days. ahha.Pretty cool huh? E Kelley left the keys to the mail and the house in Garden at Zone conference, so we got new house keys, but not mail keys. So idk what we are going to do, were gonna talk to the mail man today and see if there is something we can do. Otherwise i might not get mail for like 2 weeks or something until we get the key back. Cuz Garden City is like 50 miles away. And we only have a certain amount of miles this month.

Things are going great. I'm learning to love the people up. This is the work of Christ, and i'm greatful to be out here. Thank you for all you do for me and all your love and prayers.

I love you,
Elder David Kingsley
