Letter Home - Week 3

Hey Family!

It's so good to hear all about what each of you are doing! It brings a lot of comfort to me to hear about your lives and to feel all of your love. I love you all so much and miss everyone! It sounds like all is well. Kim it would be nice to hear from David, Aaliyah, and Sophia. If you could ask the girls what they would want to say and then write it in letter that would be awesome! Tell mike again to write me. 

Well, a lot has happened since we last talked at the airport. I'm in a totally different world. We left the SLC airport to New York and there at the airport during our layover all of us missionaries started talking to people. We met a lot of people and did some good. It brought me a lot of joy when I would get over my fears of talking to complete strangers and speak about the things I know. I met in the boarding line a guy whose name was Bob Johnson and I talked with him a little and gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon. It felt really good. I bore testimony to him and extended the commitment to him to read and pray about the book to know if it is true and he said he would. It was my first time and it felt good. 

After the long flight to New York and the long flight to Barbados we finally arrived. The flight was during the middle of the night and it was so hard to get any sleep on the plane so we were all tired but we went to the hotel after finally getting through security. haha I had little glitch in the process but after calling the mission president we got it all figured out. We then after dropping our stuff off went to the mission home and had devotionals and met one of the seventies there. He was a really great man. After that we were finally able to get some sleep. 

We went for a run on the beach here the next morning and the following day which both were absolutely incredible. An awesome experience. The islands here are beautiful and the people are so nice. I'm running out of time but the flight to St. Lucia was good and the island I'm on is even prettier than Barbados. It is astounding. My companion Elder Odhiambo is awesome and has been teaching me so much. He is new himself so we are learning together but he knows a lot. He is a great missionary. I'll tell you all more about my week next week but so far it has been a great experience. I attached some pictures from my experience in the mission so far. There are a lot more but I don't have time because I have to do them one by one.

If you would like to send mail the address for it is:

PO Box 923 

Gable woods mall, South

Vieux Fort, St. Lucia

West Indies

They don't have addresses for every home here. It's weird, but this is the address for the senior couple in my mission so if you send a letter they will get it and give it to me.

I love you all so much and am grateful to you all for your love and your spirits! You are in my prayers!

Lots of love,

Elder King
