Well this week was a little slow I guess you could say our baptism that we had set for the 4th is moved back to a later date yet to be decided due to she hasn't come to church yet. The other person a 85 yr old guy named Cole that we where going to set a date up with, he was pretty cool guy, he passed away early this past week due to cancer and some other difficulties so that was kinda of a bummer and at the same time not cause he is in a better place out of pain. Well I got to call Hawaii this week too, lol, we had a missionary from Victorville come up on exchanges with my roommate for the week and on Friday he wrecked on my bike and broke his collar bone so we spent most of the day in the hospital with him, and I called home to his mom to tell her what had happened, so that was interesting. Thursday I believe it rained like crazy so we got some flooding, who would a thunk that it would rain in Barstow. lol. Miss ya and love ya'all tons.

Here is his letter from this week.
Ya, I got your package finally, it got mixed up while we were moving, but I got it thanks. I loved the Wyoming key chain, and I got a kick out of Kia's little gift. ( Mandy's dog Kia had chewed on the water bottle I sent him) Maria, we couldn't meet with her this past week her grandpa had to go to the hospital due to cancer, but we are now going to be visiting her twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursday so it might actually be good. One of the less actives we are working with Amber, her husband is catholic, way cool guy, anyway they came to church a while back it was a bad Sunday for that, the whole meeting was on and about public affairs which really threw him off, so he wasn't going to be coming back. But later that same week he had a stroke, he has a heart condition, so the stroke was due to heat and stuff because he worked outside all day. After that they moved his job and schedule around so now he just drives people around and the best part he now has Sundays off so he can take his wife to church now, that was how she was going to get to church was by him taking her. Better yet we got to sit and talk with them for a little bit and he sat in for a short little object lesson we had. To our surprise he showed up and stayed for sacrament this past Sunday it was awesome, just goes to show ya that the lord works in mysterious ways. With killing the snakes ya we shoot them we got hold of a little BB gun pistol that we use to shoot them with, not anymore thought its gotten to hot. I will have to agree with Bishop on that one ( I told him Bishop told Sunday that Barstow is not Hell but you can see it from there) lol. We just have transfers this coming Tuesday but nothing is happening in Barstow we are all staying here. Love ya all tons

Well I have gotten behind again so I thought I would just summarize Kevin's last months e-mails. He is still serving in Barstow California. He says the temps have been from 105 to 118 during the days. He had to be on a bike for a little while so he really enjoyed it when the temp has finally come down to 100. He has killed 9 rattlesnakes to date, I really wish he wouldn't do that but he tells me he is safe. He has been working with a 19 year old girl named Maria. Other than that not much has been going on. He said he has been working with some less active people also. I will try to keep this up and Mandy's blog current from now on.

I haven't been very good at keeping this up
Here is a little bit of what has been going on with Kevin. On May 24th he found out he was getting transferred, he sure wasn't very happy about it. He has really enjoyed serving with the Samoan people, but he did say it's the Lords call and he knows best.
This is from his May 31st letter. (Well I got sent to the wast land Barstow and it is way way to hot for me here it was over 80 at 9 o'clock and the AC doesn't really work at the apartment so umm yeah I'm more of a cold weather type a fellow. My Comp is from Montana Elder Wilcock. This week I have been doing a ton of service and meetings and driving cause last transfer my car was hit and the drivers side door is banged in. Well Barstow is just like you think it is a waste land out in the middle of nowhere I don't know why anyone would want to live out here, but o well it is an interesting place.)
Here is part of his June 7th letter:
I'll say one thing I'm most definitely not used to 100+ weather all day everyday and having the night be at 75 to 80+ it is way to hot luckily the AC works at the apartment now cause when I first got here it didn't and those were some long nights. This week has been pretty good all of our work is less active work here and that's alright.
