Kevin is doing great. He got to Texas on Sept.8, 2010. He has been assigned to work in Bryan ,Texas. He is excited because he gets to use a car - not a bike! They are doing a lot of teaching and he is very happy. One of the girls he was teaching asked if he liked dark chocolate. He loves dark chocolate - so now she calls him her Dark Chocolate Man when she sees him! The weather has been really hot, but has cooled off a little now. His companion had to go to Houston for some meetings because he is a trainer so Kevin got to be a Spanish Elder for 3 days. I am sure that was an interesting experience. He would love to get some letters from home. So, his address is:
Elder Kevin Nygaard
1525 E. 29th Street
Brookside Apts. #1201
Bryan, TX 77802
A funny story - After Kevin got to Bryan, TX, he was praying and felt something on his leg. He thought it was a spider, but it turned out to be a huge cockroach! He swatted it and then smashed it - YUCK!!! That is pretty good for someone who hates spiders and wouldn't go near them - even to kill them! He says that the spiders there are really big!
Kevin is loving the work and has learned so much from the scriptures already. He enjoyed all the sessions of General Conference and even took 50 pages of notes. He was amazed that he never fell asleep either! It is wonderful seeing the the spiritual growth he is making. We miss him a lot, but are so happy that he is where he is and doing what he is doing!

I'm about to leave!

Hi I'm almost gone!
Its hard to belive that I have made it this far! Thank you all you amazing people and your wonderful support! much love!

Sick

Well I have to say!

Being sick for the past three weeks hasn't been fun. I've been on 2 other anti-biotic 's and now on my 3rd, but it's from a specialist so it better work!

Its good to get this all out before my Mission!!

My Call

Hello! This is going to be my blog that my Mom is going to update while I'm on my mission!

So, one day during school I called my Mom to ask if my call has come, she said no. So I come home and about an hour after I get home my sister and her family comes over, Nothing different about

her coming over. Well then my mom comes out with my call! I didnt think this was a very nice trick, but I was really

happy. I opened it and read

that I will be going to Houston Texas!! WOOO nice and warm!
