New Pictures

This is President Jacobson (his mission president) and Kevin. This is when he is on exchanges with the Fredricton Elders.
This is sideways but it is how they dress everyday.
In Houlton it will be getting down to -1 plus windchill this week. Brrrrr!

New Companion

This is Kevin's new companion Elder Andersen. He has been out about a year and is from Centerville, Utah. Since Elder Andersen is new to the area of Hulton, Kevin is pretty much the one running everything. He said " It was totally daunting at first and I prayed a ton. It was more like a desperate plea for help! As I did so, I have felt the Lord lifting, inspiring, and empowering me. Who the Lord calls, he qualifies. "

Here is Kevin eating a HoneyBun. He says he calls this picture "Elder Hanni is Stressed Out."

Kevin on exchange with Elder Wark. Elder Wark is from Scotland. (the Scottish flag is in the background).

As for the Main weather Kevin says "The past week has been pretty stinkin cold. In the day it has been in the 30's and the 20's at night, but the wind makes it freezing! I've been wearing my thermals, tuke and gloves. I'm going to pick up a scarf and some thicker socks today. Brr. It actually snowed yesterday. We've got a couple inches on the ground. "

One final quote... "We've run in to all sorts of characters lately. Missionary work is great.I am really learning and growing a lot right now. I have to! Elder Andersen knows nothing about Houlton. The best way to learn is to be forced in to it I guess. "no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing" The work is still progressing because the Lord is truly blessing me

Big Update

I think it's time for an update. Kevin told me to share some pictures and stories.

Here's Kevin preaching the gospel to everyone!

He says there been a lot of ladies power walking. They don't slow down for him when he opens his mouth, so he power walks with them.

He hopefully has 2 upcoming baptisms.

He says he's cold and it's only October.

That's about all the information. More information next week.

Well the pictues turned out really small. We'll have to get better copies, but for now this will have to do. You can kind of see them.
This is Kevin's first companion Elder Rupe. He is from Salt Lake.

Here he is at the first baptism of his misison. He didn't help teach this lady but he was excited to be able to be there for the baptism. It's a great way to start off the mission. They baptize people in the lake there.
