HEAVENLY FATHER HAS YET TO LET ME GO TO BED SAD!

hi mama,

i think i’ll start this one off w a super typical filipino trying to be english quote. "Each happiness is a memory for tomorrow”.

super excited for your masters program mom!!! and typical back to school things. the language has really started to come this week! i’m like conversing w randoms and kids and stuff. super fun to talk now. 

good week. pretty slow and had some discourages but Heavenly Father has yet to let me go to bed sad! the end of this week has been epic so no worries there. 

my Branch Prez wore a christmas tie to church last sunday. oh and i see so much gap and roots here, it is bizzare. and i see the canadian flag like everywhere, yet i’m the only canadian in the mission. but we have an Elder Atwood from edmonton coming wednesday so that is exciting. 

had a great splits w a cherished narrie named elder kane from SLC. great guy, tons of biking and weird events that day but weirdest was seeing a dead baby. one of our investigators had a 1 month old baby recently pass away and i saw the body. super strange and freaky. very sad situation. 

uhm had a super powerful district confrence and an LA and investigator attended. both said they loved it. so epic and we now are meeting in a close by chapel. good bye shack church :/ just as i was getting into it. my comps going to be the next district leader. 

just had a great meal at a buffet where i may have ate some cat meat, idrk tho. went to the zone leaders apartment and had a shower!! like no bucket where the water actaully comes out of a shower head, and it was hot. so weird. first time in over a month i showered w hot water. good stuff. 

read more about past prophets which was fun. comp was sick yesterday so i stayed busy by trying a new recipe and also studying and doing some crafts. it’s funny how this week was kinda rough but i can only remember the sunny days. im starting to get nervous for coming home. life just doesn’t seem as beneficial back home. its seriously great living out here. glad im not leaving for a while. things are progressing. dropped 4 baptisim invitations this week so things are cruising!!! the stats are building and people are drawing closer to Christ. a whole lot of wins lately. 

keeping it short and no pics because no time and slow internet.

until next week,
elder kearl


HI DAD

hearing about the outings with caleb and matt reminds me of our little outings i miss some evenings. just driving around and checking out cool things was always pretty fun with you. i really cherish thoes times tbh. also the ford camper van is so epic, keep me posted on that idea! seems like you always have alot of diffrent ideas flaoting around. glad your trying to stay busy and having fun with caleb. just show him your classic DGK loving. being a friend is so important and is a quality of yours i hope i acheive one day, very christ like. 

crazy about the ward split. big news!! high council must be pretty neat. 

good to hear joey is still kicking. great guy. we have a dog who sleeps on our pourch, hes joey sized. which is massive here!! glad is living the good life of premium food.
