Well, This week we sure met with Ken a lot. We helped his ex-wife move and then he went up to help her, and he decided he is going to stay up there with the rest of his family. I got pretty emotional about that. Some of it was selfish, some of it was out of pure love. But Ken is a good man. We are sure going to miss him. He had quite a connection with the ward here. I hope he gets a connection up there. 

Quick note. Mom and Dad, I dont know if you know, but my area covers two stakes. I work in the Maple Valley and Auburn stakes. So we were driving from Enumclaw to Auburn which is about a thirty minute drive and we decided to stop at Taco Bell. Well, I enjoyed the soft tacos so much that I left about half on my shirt and tie. It soaked through all the way down to my undershirt. I looked at Elder Basilius and just said "I cannot represent the Lord like this." to which he replied. "Well, we can't just go back to Enumclaw." and I said, "Well I do need another shirt." So we went down to Fred Myer and bought a new shirt and tie. I had to use the funds from home to do that. Sorry. But there's another good reason for that messenger bag I have; I used it to cover my shirt and tie as we hustled through Fred Myer to buy a shirt. Then I got back in the car and had to lower the seat really far down and change my shirt. Embarassing! But funny. 

Please continue praying for Kayla. She is in the YSA ward and is pretty sincere. It has been great to work with her. She realizes from our last visit that she needs to spend more time learning about God. 

I'm not getting transferred! I dont think I will transfer for the rest of my mission. Which by the way is very likely over on the 7th of January. That is scary. But in talking to President Eaton, he feels that is a good time to end. He holds the keys and I'll follow that advice. 

I love you all! Thank you for all your prayers and all you do! 

Love,
