Glen didn't come to church : ( Its crazy he called are member that we took to our lesson sunday morning. He said he was going to go take some pictures and ask is our member wanted to go with him. The member was like um..no I got to go to church and teach a lesson! LOL Some peoples excuses : /

Well we got a call again and got to see the northern lights there were AMAZING as ever. We saw red ones this time : ) I got a picture but it didn't turn out great but I will send it so you can see.

We have a lesson with glen at 430 Alaskan time : ) I believe his hold up is praying "specifically" is the book of Mormon true. That is usually the hang up. People are just afraid to pray because they feel something WILL happen. SATAN. Just like right before Joseph saw God and Jesus Satan with his power tried all he could to have him not pray. It is going to be nice when he is bound for 1000 years : )

We are doing good. It hasn't been to cold. 10 to 20 above, but the say the cold will come again before the end : ( Almost done with winter : )

We go up to Fairbanks on the 5th for Zone Conference. So that will be nice to be around missionaries again and to be able to go to a Wal-Mart and stock up on goods : )

Love Elder Kennedy

never mind the northern lights picture didn't turn out :

(P.S. This branch is AMAZING! I love them all! There is a family here that remembers every holiday for missionaries and celebrates them for them. They signed up to celebrate my Birthday 19th of March 2009. I'm going to be 21! AHH lol

Well we got to see the Northern Lights this time again : ) It was AMAZING!! Even better then last time : ) I got some pictures but it didn't turn out so good. They are so beautiful! They sway back and forth in the sky! : )

All Is well this week...exect Glen went to Valdez all week and couldn't meet with us and stay the weekend there and couldn't come to church : ( BUMMER!!!!

It hasn't been too cold this week. It got to almost 20 ABOVE! I think I will survive this winter. I think lol JK.

Not much new happened...The ward is GREAT they are trying real hard to find people for us to teach and are feeding us almost every night : )

O and we saw fireworks on Saturday : ) there was some sort of "Festival of Lights" celebration. No one we ask knows what it is for but they just say it is a good excuse to light fireworks when it is still dark, cause 4th of july it is light all day and it would be a waste to do firework in the light : )

Well Glen didn't show at church again : ( His heater turned off and someone was over all night trying to fix it. He was up that Saturday night till 6 in the morning on Sunday trying to fix his heater. We called him like 10 after church started to make sure everything was alright. He said he saw our call and was just like NOPE and went back to sleep.

Well we taught him again on tuesday and just followed up on his reading and read 3 Nephi 11 with him. He was well into Jacob when we taught him! He said he was reading and praying and that he will continue to pray. : / The member we toke was GREAT! He knew exactly what to say! It was great!

Glen said that he will never let missing church happen again : /

Well I think I have frost bite on my fingers. My skin is peeling and is pretty red. Well I will try and find some lotion in this small town that is lucky enough to have milk lol.

O yeah we got transfer calls and my companion and I are staying together in the same area of Delta. After this transfer it should be getting warmer...Hopefully : / They say February is the coldest month of the year : ( Well as long as our heater and water work we should be fine : )
