Kyle hit his half-way mark this week!  In some ways it doesn't seem like it has been a whole year and then in other ways it seems like forever!!!  He is doing well, but not exactly enjoying the cold weather.  It seems difficult to remember he is freezing when it has been so hot here at home.  Here are a few more pictures that he sent this week.

This is a young man that just left from the ward for his mission.

Kyle says he is going to be an awesome missionary!!!

He thought it was pretty sweet because this says:

"The Most Faithful!"

Another p-day bowling outing with his district!

He must be getting pretty good:)

Finally we have some pictures again from Kyle so we thought you would enjoy seeing some of the things he is doing.  It is the middle of winter there as you might be able to tell from his rain-soaked jacket and scarf:)  I thought I would include just a short part of his email today for you to hear firsthand how he is doing.

"Sunday this week was probably one of the best church meetings I've had in my mission for sure!!  It was awesome!  It was sweet because a guy just got back from his mission who served in Philadelphia and he gave his homecoming talk and finished his testimony in English (he didn't know a word before his mission) and after him a guy is leaving for his mission on Wednesday so he gave his farewell talk.  It was a real spiritual experience and it was an AWESOME meeting!!! I love this ward a lot!

Thanks so much for everything that all of you do for us missionaries.  We really do feel the prayers that are being sent over to us and I really do appreciate all the love.  Keep up the good work back at home and I'll do my best here.  I love all of you so much!  Keep the prayers coming please!!! Love you!!"
