Hey Kiddo

Hi Elder Penrod,


How is everything going? How is the new companion? Did transfers go on for you?


Is the same old same old here. The weather warmed up for a little bit but we are in for some more snow later this week, haha. So much for first day of spring.


Curtis is excited to have a tournament this Saturday. He has been missing the opportunity to compete.


Cameron is just hanging out, he is such a good help around the house and now that he is taller, I can ask him to get me stuff from the top shelf.


Bethany is getting pretty creative with everything. She has Art this quarter and has shown me some pretty impressive rorks she has done. One was a D&D character that has a bit of a mushroom theme and a really cool watercolor lea she also made my decking samples into a house (see pic, haha)


Dad is working hard organizing the many house projects and trying to keep all the rain and snow from flooding our basement. He also tore apart our dishwasher in an attempt to fix it. It worked for a bit, but unfortunately it is not working again. We may have to invest in a new one.


Derek Kennedy's son was called to Bristol, UK. That will be quite Mission but super cool.


Dad also has a new calling, I will let him tell you what it is. I think he will do pretty amazing.


I am excited for general conference and have been reading the last conference talks as preparation and I was reminded how much I love the one by Holland. I love the reminder that our lives are the symbol of our faith. It is how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis. Hood we treat our loved ones and those we come in contact with each day that speaks of our devotion and closeness to our Savior.


I am so excited to talk with you tomorrow. I hope you have had a good week.


Love you tons, keep up the good work and stay engaged.


Love you!

Update From The Mission Field: Challenges And Progress In Silverdale

Dear Friends and family, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share with you some updates from the mission field here in Silverdale, Washington. As always, the work is both challenging and rewarding, and I am constantly amazed by the resilience and faith of the people we are serving. Over the past few months, we have seen significant progress in spreading the message of hope and love in this community. We've had meaningful conversations with individuals who are searching for something greater in their lives, and we've witnessed the transformative power of faith firsthand. It's truly humbling to be a part of this process of spiritual growth and discovery. However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the obstacles we've encountered along the way. Serving as a missionary in Silverdale comes with its own set of challenges, and there have been moments when it has felt like an uphill battle. From facing skepticism and indifference to dealing wi...

Easter And Such

Hi Elder Penrod, I hope that you are doing well. I probably won't have much to talk about since we spoke to you on Sunday. How are you doing? How is your week going so far? How is your companion? How are your friends doing? We had our usual Easter Egg Hunt at Lisa's on Saturday. It was fun and they were able to convince Beth and Cameron to hunt for eggs with the promise of vending machine money . It was fun to see Rylen (Liam's boy) and Ethan hunt around for eggs. It sounds like Rylan is going to be a big brother in November. Josh Burger's wife is also expecting, they will be having a boy in September. So lots of new babies on the way. Yesterday and today the deck guy has been here at the house installing our deck. I am so excited to have it, I think it will look great! We just have to figure out how we are going to barricade the dog in until the fence can be attached to the backyard. Dad has plans to do the siding but we have the wrong trim pieces so it may be awhile u...

Some Friends And Some Foes (But Not Really Because We Love Everyone)

Image
The area has finally started to get some activity now. We've been keeping some lessons going with our friend and we have some good fellowship with that. She likes attending church and the ward activities so that's good. Saturday we got bashed. She was very nice though, but really did not believe in the Book of Mormon and told us it was of Satan. Right after that we visited a drunk lady who wanted a prayer, sounds familiar, but this time it wasn't too weird. She said we were awesome and what we do is good which was nice. Transfers are coming and I'll be getting a new companion so Elder Higbee will be leaving. I'll miss him actually he's been a pretty good companion even though he's a bit trunky. That's pretty much it. Thank you guys for the support again. I have some hope for this area now, so we'll see how it goes. Love yall -Elder Penrod
