Spaghetti

Hi. Well it was a good week here in the great city of Auburn. It was super sunny and I was happy and it was amazing every time I looked at the sun I saw a face smiling back at me like in the Tella Tubbys it was awesome. But all great things  must come to an end this week is supposed to rain practically every single day of this week time to start eating Vitamin D like a fat kid with Candy! Talking about candy Halloween is coming up and when we go out tracting and get let into someone's house they always have candy and since I love candy I always ask for some and then usually let me take alot. I'm just waiting for that after Halloween sale of candy when they need to get it gone so its dirt cheap, cause I'm poor out here!  

Okay here is a a "funny" story, so the past couple weeks we have had dinners with members on Sunday and let me tell ya the past two weeks of food have SUCKED🤢 like last week they had this disgusting ravioli stuff. It was terrible, I don't even know that was in it, but is was no bueno! This week we went to a members house. I smell spaghetti and I wanted to cry! If you ever feed the missionaries make them something that's not spaghetti, I suck at cooking but I can make that, and a lot of members already do. If you know how to cook make the missionaries a nice home cooked meal, not spaghetti! So I want to excited for it. But then dinner came and I turn the corner to what it was and I was shook all I saw was some up chuck! And then they explain what was in it, it was rice noodles, with spinach and this nasty sauce with no meat, and some other junk in it! Then on the side was the "healthy" stuff, it was eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, nasty stuff with an egg on top like I'm a picky eater but even my comp thought it was terrible. Background on this family to help picture what they are like, okay so the husband is in the medical field, got lucky with the wife he got! 3 daughters, and not only daughters but VEGETARIAN daughters. So that's what they made some nasty vegetarian food, and the vegetarian daughters didnt even eat this. But the family gave me ice cream so that made the punch a little less. But no I need a good mom home cooked meal! Not this geezer food🤮  but at least they tried to feed the missionaries! It's the thought that counts.

Then more on the spiritual side, so we are working with some pretty sick people right now. This dude we are teaching he had a super nice truck (photo I sent last week) and my comp loves trucks and knows everything to know about them. And when he saw this truck he had to stop by and talk about it. And so we knock on the dudes door, he answers said I'm not interested, then goes to close the door. But wait the Mormons have a plan B. So my comp practically puts his foot in the door and talks about this truck 20 minutes later he tells us to come back and go for a ride. Then this past week we went back and went for like a 30 minute drive in this dudes 70000 dollar truck for like 30 minutes and we are talking trucks, guns, Republican things and at the end we are parked in front of his house and he then asks if we like our religion so we share our testimonies and he liked it and said we can come bac, cause he and his wife are interested and looking for a church so that's dope.

 I'm good just enjoying life, and if any of you ever get to thinking on how u can help good ol Elder Kenfield I mean everyone needs blessings and the best way is helping the missionaries (here is where I tell u to feed the ur local missionaries or give them a referral or something. But sike...) so here is how u get blessings, send me some snacks and a card or something, it's that time of year where it's the holidays and I'm not with family and super sad stuff! And the best way to get over these hard times is with snacks! (And Jesus of course)  yes snacks! Other then that I hope you all have a good week and if any ones needs anything from me just let me know. I can send a book of Mormon and at that point, I'm tapped out! but I love all of you, And we all need blessings!

I coming home Eventually!

Come and goes another week of the mission! It was a pretty good week! So this week we ran into a nice man named Mark and he is on date for baptism so pray for Mark he is super cool. He already went to our church down in Tacoma a couple times and likes it! That was a pretty cool miracle.

Okay then to one of the highlights of my mission. Okay for you folks that don't know I love golf it is one of my favorite past times. And so 4 weeks ago they finally decided to kick me out of my old area after 6 months🤢 and now in my new area we have other golfers in the zone! So on Monday we decided to go! It was so much fun!!! There were 5 of us, and our tee time was at 8:09. And we arrived at 8:09! Luckily for us we had a group of like 3 or 4 old Grandpas in front of us and a group of like 6 old geezers behind us and the 4 of the 6 were walking so they didn't come close to us. But the rules dude drove up to us to tell us we where holding up the course later in the round! Then we turned around and guess what? The gobblers behind us were a whole hole behind us I was shook but it was to much fun! I played okay for not playing in almost 1 year! 

Also I've almost been out 1 year! Wow times flies when you never see the sun It's quite frankly amazing that it's almost been a year since my parents lost their favorite child! So if you see them give them your condolences!  and Hugs. I would be wrecked to if I were them!

Other then that not to much happened! Fun story before I depart into the wilderness. So we did service for this one dude (I forgot to take photos) but we were helping this him move! And when I walked up I saw an old gumball machine, and I saw there were still some gumballs left that have probably been their since the dawn of time! And I turn to the dude we are help moving and I ask if I can have it! With an idea in mind! And the dude was like, yes take it I don't want it anymore! But the other missionaries I was with, since they aren't Scott Kenfield were like oh NO! We don't want that! Blah blah blah! These blue baboons have no idea what their talking about. So I turn to them as say "I don't want the gumball machine." Then they realize why I wanted it. And I'll leave it at that.

Other then that I hope everyone is having a good day and God bless.

Talk, Talk, Talk

     Well its been awhile but the PNW is doing good! The work is moving along pretty good we just got a new Mission President and he is so cool! He has  a high love and high expectations which is just absolutely amazing. He is pretty chill, there are some rules that the last mission President made, that the new President got rid of pretty quick. Like for example, We weren't allowed to wear floral ties, but the new President thought it was weird and got rid of it! So nice. 
     Lately we've been running into a lot of old single people and man they can talk your ear off, like one lady named Judy we teach, and she was in the military back in the day and her whole life was in the military, her husband died back in Vietnam (war). She is a funny lady but man she can talk. It's like when you're trying to leave church and your parents start talking!  We also are teaching a guy named Paul. Not Paul from the bible, he is also in the same boat as Judy, He is 81, and his wife passed away about a year ago. Whoa, ain't never talked that much, I would bet car sales men talk less then this man, but he is super kind and funny, so it all evens itself out in the end.
Other then that life is good it's been hotter then usual here (according to the natives) and it kinds sucks. I mean I go out side and walk 10 feet and I'm K.O. but it's all good when you are bringing salvation of man! Other then that I hope all yall's have a good week and until next time.

Rain Rain Go Away

Well it's been a week or 2 since the last time i sat down and wrote a very well constructed letter. And if you know me and my spelling this is going to take as long UDOT, to finish this bad boy
So this past couple weeks have been pretty good except one thing the rain🏼I tell ya what; idk why people live here all it does is rain rain rain⛈ rainrain rain if it keeps raining we might have to do a sequel to Noah's ark let me tell you what the primary song, The rains came down and the floods came up that's some serious stuff‍♂️ okay funny story about the rain, so I'm privileged enough to have a bike in my area so one day we leave the house to some clouds nothing to big so I go without a rain jacket. get what I'm saying. So then we bike to our area and start knockin doorsthen bout half way threw this session we get blind sided like the titanic, by rain no joke! So me and my company you know we are just trying to find shelter so we keep knocking doors to find someone to take 2 good looking young men in for a minute, but I mean people aren't nice sometime we struck out at ever single door I felt like a turtle on it's back, stranded. And about 10 minutes in we are just huddled under this person's stoop. And by this point it look like I got into a fight with Poseidon🧜‍♂️ and since I wasn't expecting the great storm of 2019 I didn't have my rain jacket. So pitcher, this an attractive young man (me) DRENCHED by water with a thin WHITE shirt and a thin WHITE garment top on so you could just pitcher that bad new bears.
Okay on to a more spiritual note, so these past couple weeks we have had some money contacts, people are opening up their hearts these days. So we ran into this little Mexican dude named Vlad and he is so awesome, he loved what we told him so we invited him to church and he came. But since hes awesome he brought his girlfriend! And they really enjoyed it said they would come back! So that is money and we have a couple other people like that. So the work is going dang good.
Also talking about running into a lot of nice people we still get those occasional missionary haters! And they are super mean lately but my companion is very very very wel script in the bible and he just roasts people like a oven! And he is so good he knows the bible better them the Pope himself, so when we run into a mean basher he just tears into them with the bible (humbly of course) but hes definitely give me some good knowledge!
Well other then that I'm doing good just living each day to the max! It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts.9
Well everyone live worthily, happy, and honorable. Love yalls and talk to you again.

Week 37 (Really week 29)

Another day, Another dollar ladies and gentlemen! Well this was a good week except (there is always an exception) The weather this week was super dark and gloomy, like English class But I mean the Pacific NORTHWEST doesn't get as green as it is if i doesn't rain But attitude is everything folks! I just look at it like a blessing because it keeps the weather cooler and with all my fat and all the biking I do, I sweat like at least 1.32 gallons, and when I get to people's houses they don't know if it is sweat or rain that I'm drenched in, but sometimes I forget to grab a water bottle and oh my it's the worst!!!! On the other hand, I have never felt closer to my beloved Father in Heaven once I get up some of these hills without drinking water🥤 okay let me tell ya about what I call the hill to h*ll,  Picture this, so this devil hill is on the border of our area,  so when we're  at the bottom of this hill looking up we can't see the top because it pierces above the clouds⛰ no joke! And the first time I looked up this beast I had a tear go down my face  I swear I heard a voice say "Good Luck Elder" and you think I'm joking, but I'm serious bro! And the slope of this hill is at least at least 75 degree angle, no lie! So my Companion and I say a quick prayer and start our journey up it, While biking up it, we hop of our bikes and walk our bikes up it. And what feels like 40 years in the wilderness (sound familiar?) Me and my comp peer the top of this death trap, and it's like those movies when people have been lost for awhile and they finally make it to civilization, and they start crying and they hug each other and its a super sweet moment and it makes the movie theater cry and when cars get to the top of the hill they are sweating also! Like those old cartoons when the car is exhausted and it dies! I'm assuming this hill is the inspiration for that cartoon! And believe me when I say this, My description doesn't do this hill justice; this is a under exaggerated of this hill! And the worst part is our main progressing friend lives at the top of this thing, so of course we make our journey up this thing at least 2-3 times a week! Needless to say my physical endurance is becoming better🏽 
Other then that there are miracles all around (its a miracle  that I lived to tell the tail of that hill) but okay one more quick story, So we went to our friend that lives at the top of Mt. Everest on Wednesday and she was having a terrible terrible day and our plan was to talk about The Gospel of Jesus Christ, but we were promoted to just talk and show our support and love for her, So we did just that, We just listened and spoke to her and told her that we are always there for her, B we reminded her that there is  someone who can help a heck of a lot more, and who will always be there for her and that is Our Savior Jesus Christ and no matter  the pain he can deliver you out of anything and that he has done this for me and for every single person I know and that he can help you! And she found comfort through this. Like we all have. And then she told us that we carry a special spirit with us and that we always lighten up her day, but in reality it is just the Light of Christ that helps her and we our just people and don't do anything.  The light of Christ that we carry is the one that is the light at the end of the tunnel! 
Well I know Jesus is my Savior, and that the church is true, book is blue, and I love all yall's!  Until next time
