Kendrick, Nick

I am in a new area now! Chelsea! Sadly, I had to part ways with Elder DaBell. I will still see him at zone conference though. For my first week in this area, I have found it’s a lot slower than the one before......it's like “the cutest little town in Carburetor Country” from the movie Cars...... nice town, but houses are very far apart. I'll send a picture to show how much bigger the area is than Ann Arbors. My new companion is Elder Lloyd, he is from Mesa, Arizona. He came out the same time as I did so we are basically pretty fresh, but we're having a great time. Our apartment is cracked, we have 2 bathrooms and our own laundry machines. It’s wild. I don't really have any stories, but I did get some more pictures of my friends before I left Ann Arbor! I'll add those below. I did get to bear my testimony in Sacrament this week. Stake conference was canceled and instead we just had testimony meeting, so I went up and introduced myself and bore my testimony. For a spi...

Another week down. Sadly, I am leaving Ann Arbor. On Sunday we  were listening to Hymn 270 and the line that stuck out to me was, "I'll  go where you want me to go”. Not that I have a choice, but it's  where the Lord needs me to be.   I got to go and see my friends this week and get pictures with some  of them. I'll add them at the bottom and I'll send the rest of them next  week.   I am excited to leave, but am not excited to leave Elder DaBell. We  get along very well and we have lots of fun. I am also sad to leave the  Senior couple, the Barrington’s, they were too good to me. For stories this week, the person we had on date for baptism didn't  come to church :(( , so we had to push back the date for her baptism.  I'm a little disappointed.   Elder DaBell got sick this week so his voice was gone. I had to do  lessons all on my own, which was very cool. The spirit definitely  helped me and put words i...

Happy Valentines Day!  This week was a week I hope I don't have again......respectfully. We knocked more than  usual this week. Overall, pretty boring. We had member meals which was lucky, we  don’t usually have a lot. Saw a big cannon. Saw some trees.  Today on p day, Elder DaBell wanted to go to a "string quartet”, so we did. We had 3  people come to church this week, big win. The family we’re teaching, Bianca, is  progressing and currently on track to baptism, another win. Sorry for no email last week.  For the spiritual thought of the week, it is one of the scriptures I memorized, Philippines  4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I know this is true. No  matter what we may have going on, no matter how hard it may seem, it is all possible  through Christ, He is our savior. I know this to be true.  A talk I studied this week was "Nourishing and Bearing your Testimony”, by Elder Gary  E. Stevenson. ...
