hello family.  so one thing i forgot to write last week.  so on the train there was a bit of a mix up with seats.  so the train was completely full.  no extra seats.  so in our cart a few people had the same seats.  some people were screaming.  it was actually kind of funny.  but anyhow so the worker took one lady to look at her ticket.  so while he was out i was looking and Elder Doughers ticket, and my ticket, and they were exactly the same.  same seat, same code, same everything.  the office sent us the exact same ticket.  then the worker pulled us out.  he noticed.  and said we need to find the security code to the ticket, or have to get off the train,  maybe buy a ticket but maybe not because the train is full.  so luckily we had a phone, and we called the office, and they gave them the code.  so a bit of a scare but all went well.  

so this week has been super good.  so i dont know if you remember.  but Ron and rod, elder de los santos and i found them on the street.  two philipino kids whose mom is less active, and the rest of the family is not baptized.  so we were teaching them.  but then they moved to b1.  so we had to pass them over.  and they were baptized there.  but now i am in b1 and am teaching them again!!!!  they are a super cool family.  they invite us over like 4 times a week.  i love teaching families.  so they have come to church a few times and the dad is pretty close to being baptized.  he loves having the missionaries over.  we are going to watch the restoration video in tagalog (he didnt understand it perfectly when he was taught in english, he speaks english well, but obviously tagalog is he first language)  and maybe set a baptismal date with him.  her so you remember merci and her family.  also from the Philippines.  i saw them at church yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!  we meet in the same chapel.  so that is super cool.  talked to her for a few minutes.  the rest of her kids are here now.  so i was on intercambios with Elder Dampt here, and he decided to call a few people during media dia.  just out of the phone.  old investigators.  sense i dont really know who to call, my companion doesnt, and he doesnt, so he just calls some random people.  so he calls j.  we didnt meet with her that day, but we did the next.  and she says she already has a testimony of the book of mormon.  we just need to get her to come to church.  she said she would come but didnt come.  so we are also meeting with a guy named I., from Ukrane.  he is like 19 and is super cool.  his is super busy with school and what not though.  can only meet on weekends.  so the ward, like 110 people come every week.  so while playing soccer with some ward members, and investigators on saturday, i went for a block.  and we ran into each other, and my knee popped out.  i can walk on it so thats good.  it just hurts a bit to bend it.  well thats about it for the week.  one more thing, there was a huge birthday party for a one year old in the church on saturday.  and the baby was sleeping the whole time.  kind of funny.  guess its a big thing is latino culture big party for the first year.

well have a terrific week

love elder kinghorn

that seems strange my package hasn't gotten back home yet.  were there any pictures of Mary on the package?  well who knows where it is.  juicers are good.  i do like spinach in a smoothie.  you cant really taste in anyhow.  and your eating vegetables so that is good.  keep on using it.  i have no clue about Facebook.  havent heard anything yet.  

thats good you really like your calling.  family history seems more fun when you find out stories, or cool things about relatives, not just dates.  

that is cool about how that hermana prays.  heavenly father always loves us, just sometimes we dont recognize his love.   but its always there.  you should do the bricks from Spain.  that would be cool.  so is the kitchen going to look fabulous when i get back!?  i hope so.  dad is sometimes strange.  why will he never just be normal and do a rich, dark chocolate cake for his birthday.  oh well.  he can have what he wants.  haha.  i do like angel food cake though.  its good.  where was cade again?

grandma is funny.  thats good she loves her present.  just think how people went lifetimes with out phones, let alone iPads, and now grandma doesnt want to go twelve hours without it.  

well have a good week.
