I am retraining a kid from Kenya who does not know how to be a missionary because his trainer went home early for messing around with a sister missionary, and I am in a new area and don't know any members trying hard to just get through each day. I want him to help me, I just don't know how, or what I am doing wrong to have him help me.

My companion Elder Mackenzie is my favorite so far though. He is so funny and me and him get along really well. I get to explain little American things to him like why Mexicans are flagging us down on the side of the road (because they want work). Ha ha it is really funny. He is 25 though but he is super skinny like super skinny. The ward is good, it is nice being down in Newport again. It is a lot cooler and just the people are nicer. Our members seem pretty cool, we didn't have church though so I have to still meet a lot of them. Other than that I am doing pretty good. I could use some man soap, toothpaste, and contact solution though. Thank you mom for everything. You have a big heart, keep working with dad. I am over what he did. It still hurts having your biggest idol and who you want to be more than anyone turn out to have done something that you feel is worse than anything. But I'm over it. I love you mom so much. keep fighting the good fight.

Love,

Connor
