Sexy Flexy Elder Man,
Howzit!! It was so fun to talk to you yesterday and see you. It’s seems like it’s been so long. I’m proud to be your big sister, and to see how you’ve grown and matured in the gospel. I was telling Brother and Sister Clifford and Brother Simon about talking to you on Skype, and they wanted to know how you were doing. They also said to tell you hi. So today was a really great day. I went to mission prep and we talked about the pride cycle and the dispensations. The pride cycle is when in the scriptures there always seems to be righteous people, but then they become prideful because they are too blessed. Then they have trials and tribulations. They are humbled and repent, and become righteous again, and then it starts all over. It happens all throughout the Book of Mormon, over and over again. Then the dispensations you can remember by saying Adam enjoys nuts and many Christmas sweets (Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Smith). They each had their own time when the gospel and the priesthood were on the earth. It was pretty neat. Then I went to the family ward and listened to Colter speak. He did a really good job. Then I went to my ward where I taught the lesson in relief society, and in my sacrament meeting two of the sister missionaries that are going to be leaving soon spoke (Whitney and Shalyse ). Shalyse is leaving not this Wednesday but the next, and Whitney is leaving the week after that. It’s so exciting, but kind of sad because I am going to be the only sister missionary in mission prep. 🙁 It’s okay though. Anyway, I hope things are going great for you. Have a good week, and be good. Love you a lot. Love, Kelsey 😀

(Here is Kelsey’s email to Alex first:)

ALEX!
       How are you doing? I hope you are doing great. So I finally got my call! Are you ready? Take a deep breath. I have been called to serve in the Texas Fort Worth mission, teaching in the Spanish language. YEAH!! Isn’t that cool? You may now call me Hermana  (that means “sister” in Spanish). 🙂 I’m going into the MTC in February , so I’ll probably see Andrew, because he is going at the end of March, but I’ll be there longer because I am learning a language. I’m so stoked. The church is definitely true. There is no doubt about it. We had a good lesson today in mission prep. We were learning about latter day prophets and scriptures to use to teach people about how we have them now. After class I talked outside with Whitney (who is going to Tahiti and learning Tahitian and French) and Shalyse  (who is going to Ecuador and learning Spanish) for like an hour, just talking about mission stuff. It was really fun to talk to some other girls that are doing the same things as me, because there aren’t that many. Then I went to the family ward, and announced where I am going on my mission in sacrament meeting, so that anyone who hadn’t already heard (there weren’t very many) would know where I was going. Then I went to my ward. I was the only person in temple prep that wasn’t a teacher for the class, so Justin (who was teaching; he served in Texas too, but in McAllen) was basically just having a talk with me about the first lesson in the temple prep book (about the Plan of Salvation). It was really neat. Then I announced where I am going again in my ward, and bore my testimony. We had a really nice Christmas program by my ward choir, and then the relief society president asked me if I would teach the lesson next Sunday. I’m terrified, but I told her I would do it. So I’ve had a pretty busy/exhausting day. I’ve been up since four thirty this morning, so I’m pretty tired. Anyway, I better go. Love you lots. Be good.                    Love, your big sister, Hermana Kelsey 
Kelsey,

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is freakin Lakker!!! i’m so glad you are learning a new language i’m working on my Zulu but its really hard. so Elder Brown in my mtc group lives just outside the boundries of your misson so he might see you the last two monthes on mission. but ya i’m so happy for you i’m actually crying in this internet cafe its kinda awkward anyway. so you will love the temple its is such an amazing experiance and i hope all your preparations go well and you will be out here in no time. oh ya and start practicing recipes right now otherwise you will be eating crumy food like me. and don’t worry about the lessons that will be easy, you know the doctrine just teach it. anyway i’m running low on time. Love you tons keep strong and i’ll see you in no time!!!!

                                                    Love Elder Flexy

Mama!!!
ya kelseys call is awesome and she is gonna love the field. its such a good experiance. ya i’m glad you have a new calling having differant callings makes it fun. and tell Parker that he is a goof. so this last week an investigator called me a tokaloshi as a joke its pretty funny a tokaloshi is a little deamon summoned by witch doctors to attack people in there sleep. but he was just making fun of my height. tell Hollie congradulations for me. 
1 How have your P-days changed or have they with Elder Shumway?
1.they haven’t changed much we still play sports and email just like usual.
2 Do you still have appointments on Monday? Are they after 5:00?
2.ya we only have one today because the other wants us on Sundays.
3 What things are your investigators struggling with the most right now?
3.well just coming to church as always if they came to church they would be baptized.
4 Is there anyone you would like us to include in our prayers, specifically?
4.can you pray for the Mguni family they are the closest to baptism.
5 Do you have plans for Christmas?
5.yes we are eating a late lunch at the Roy families home which is where we will call home from.
6 We have Skype, but Bro Sandstrom said that sometimes the internet gets bogged down. We will get a calling card to save money if we end up using that. What do you want to do? Do you want to try Skype and if that doesn’t work have us call you somewhere? Think about it and let us know ASAP?
6.i will just phone the house phone on skype so just stay close. and tell colter to be ready to come over on christmas day because i want to have a chat with him.
7 For Christmas, will you eat at a members home? or will you just be with the missionaries?
7.yes we will eat at amembers home.
8 Is it still hot to you? Are you adjusting to the humidity?
8.i’m adjusting quite well which is funny cause i’m gonna freeze when i get home.
9. it rains quite often mor often than at home.
10 Do they have domestic dogs and cats?
10.ya too many dogs they make the work harder but they have both.
11 What do you usually eat for dinner, when you’re where you live?
11.PBJ or maybe an egg or something easy.
12 What is your favorite thing to eat?
12.i would have to say the chip and cheese rotis like a frie and cheese borrito
Special question:
13 How would you explain the purpose of the Sabbath day to someone who doesn’t know about the Sabbath? 

13.i would tell them that it is a sacred and hallowed day for reverence and thinking of and respecting God and to partake of His holy sacrament.
anyway i;m out of time love you

                                                        Love Elder Flexy 

Baba,
ya dad i’m glad your staying active its good for you so i got slide tackled on saturday and i minorly hyper extended my knee but i’m doing fine so i saw my second dead person on mission the streets of SA are a dangerous place. but its going well and the work is going forward. Love you.

4.ya i gained like two KGs but now i’m back down to the same i have always been.
5 Have you had any interesting weather since you’ve been there?
5.just hot weather and humid but its not to unusual.

6.we actually already have the conferance one so we are good thanks.
7 Anything new on pictures?
7.i will buy another memory card and send the other cards home.

9.yep i got it, it was super nice and thanks for the photos they were super nice i loved them.

Special question of the week: How would you explain to others that we are Christian?

                                                                Love Elder Flexy
Baba!!
i’m so glad to hear you are having such a good Christmas season. i hope this season is good for everyone back home. so yesterday we tracted into this very mean man that just wanted to bible bash so we just left. but ya i had a desire to punch him but i’m a missionary and i’m bigger than that so i didn’t. but he chased the spirit away and we had to pray to get it back but other than that its been great.ya having christmas come really does make me miss home a little bit but i’ll be fine. anyway love you Baba
                                                                 Love Elder Flexy
Kelsey
ya waiting for the call is the most exiting thing EVER!!! ya but it will be worth it in the end. ya about the parables that you were talking about maybe when Jesus taught like that it was to teach the meek and humble the ways of the lord. but the rich and prideful could not interpret the parables so only those who were in tune with the spirit could learn the mysteries of god. anyway mission is awesome and you will love it so much. love you

Mama!!!

This week has been sweet!!! we have had some great lessons and some fun experiances. we were in some really scetch areas tracting but it was fun we didn’t get mugged so it was good. this is the last week of the transfer and i’m getting a new companion or a new area or both we find out tommorrow it should be good. me and martin have been companions for four and a half months.
1 You said a while back that someone you were teaching was getting ready for baptism. Are you still teaching them?
1.ya she hasn’t been to church since then so not for a while.
2 Do you feel like the people you are teaching feel the spirit while you’re there?
2.ya for sure the spirit is super strong in most of our lessons.
3 Are you still with Elder Martin?
3.yep!!
4.transfers are this week so this should be cool
5 Any new investigators?
5.not too meny we have been tracting a lot but it doesn’t do much.
6 Are any investigators progressing better than others?
6.ya some are a little faster than others but thats how mission is.
7 What usually holds things up? As far as baptism goes?
7.they will not come to church in this mission if you get them to church they usually get baptised but thats the trick getting them to church.
8 Do they struggle with the word of wisdom?
8.Yep i would say 80% of people in SA have a word of wisdom problem.
9 Are the people in general, nice to you for the most part?
9.ya they are nice just not interested.
10 Do you feel like you have grown spiritually?
10.ya for sure i have grown most in knowledge.
11 How, in what way?
11.in my studies i’ve been learning lots
12 What is chair football?
12.it is like soccer but no teams its every man for himself and he protects himself and you only have three goals on your goal and you are out of the game.
Special question of the week:
13 How would you explain that God loves all of His children, when some live in terrible circumstances? Why do some have a better situation in life than others?

13.i would say because we all are differant so he puts the strong ones in harder situations because they can overcome the trials. and he puts the weak in the cradle of good surcumstances.
anyway things are going great we are still working very hard. i’ll let you know what transfer neews is next week.

                                                                   Love Elder Flexy

  Baba!!

Wow so we are sitting in the email place and we hear a loud engine outside so we went out and it was a Lambergini Murchilargo its worth about 4 million rands which is about five hundred and seventy thousand dollars that is a big person car!!! anyway keep helping with mendozas and all will be well in zion!!!

this week has been good we are still working hard. and our families are comng along very slowly. so i probably won’t be the one to baptise them but they will be baptized.ya i miss going to the temple. on saturday i won first place in chair soccer it was way fun!!
1 Do you have a favorite scripture that you use a lot while teaching?

1.well i use my mission scripture a lot for spiritual thoughts at member missionary lessons.

2.i would have to say the story of the lady who was healed by touching his clothes that one is awesome!!
3 What is your favorite Book of Mormon story?
3.Samuel the lamenite for sure!!!

4 Do you find yourself ever saying “slow and steady, wins the race?” or was that just for me?

4.ya sometimes but we try not to be in too big a hurry.

5 Are you the shortest elder?

5.yep its the same story as always
6.we see president when we go to the office and at interviews but not much else.
7.we are quite close to other elders so we see them a lot.

8 Do you think it feels so hot to you, because the humidity is so high? I looked up the temp and it was like 82 degrees, which wouldn’t be that hot in a dryer climate.

8.ya it is the humidity that is killing me i sweat so much but nothing happens its still hot!!

9 Are you still teaching the same people?

9.yep
10.yes we have two families that are progressing faster but they are still not ready.
11 Have you had any faith promoting experiences? Or experiences were you have been saved by the spirit? (Remember Chad Cederlof in the alley?)
11.we have had faith building lessons but we haven’t been protected to our knowledge.(could have but we didn’t see it.)

12 Have you received any more of my letters?

12.ya i received two more and i would write back but we don’t have much time to do it.
Special question of the week:
13 What do you do when you are discouraged to help you snap out of it? or have you been discouraged? How would you encourage someone who feels like they are not loved or valued?
13.ya i’ve been discoaraged but you just get over it and go to work. i just push thoughts and feelings like that out of my mind.
anyway things are going great i hope all is well in zion. love you mama

 Mama!! 

Things are going great this week we taught a powerful member present! and when we left our member stayed just to chat i think they will be good friends and be baptised. so the work is going good but the only problem is the missionaries before us didn’t plant many seeds at all so we aren’t having success very quickly but the people that come after us will. we are planting seeds like crazy and we are working hard. i’m glad you had a good birthday!!! i wll try to figure out the picture thing. 
1 Are you and Elder Martin teaching well together?
1.ya we are teaching pretty well its just hard cause he teaches way differant then i do but its going good.
2.we don’t have a whole lot in common but we have found things.
3.ya he played soccer and he just chilled with his sisters.
4.he was out about a year when i came in.
5 Do you do anything else except soccer on p-days?
5.well today we were supposed to go ice skating but we ran out of alotment 🙂
