Family,
Thanks for all the emails! Especially the pictures you sent me mom - did kendall really create that? Its incredible. How did you learn how to do that?! how come I didnt get any of the talented genes? The house looks good - did we paint the front door that color before i left? I cant remember...I love when you send pictures with your emails. Thanks so much mom! The pictures look great.
Things are going good here. We have sooo many people we are teaching and sooo many good things going on. We set another baptism date last week. I gave up sweets to help our friend give up tobacco and alcohol. Anjiki kyoudai got the priesthood yesterday and he was so happy. I gave a talk yesterday in English! yikes. Speaking japanese has now become a habit. I recently realized that I havent had a prolem with it in quite a while. Its pretty amazing. I am just full of thanks.
The weather has been surprisingly warm the last few days. But thats about it.
Life is good. I love my family. Talk to you soon!
Much Love,

I clearly heard the Spirit tell me to stop and talk to him
1/24/10 Email Message
Family!,
Well Ive been trying to think of something to say...but I cant think of anything interesting or eloquent. So Ill just give you some random updates as they come to mind.
Im pretty tired today, but Im not exactly sure why. The streets here are covered with a thick layer of ice which makes it impossible to ride bikes. Ive got a talk in church this sunday at the military branch - in English! Scary...
Last night on our way home from a long day of dendo i met a really cool 17 year old kid who could be very prepared...it was freezing cold, I was tired, and we were running a little late, but I clearly heard the Spirit tell me to stop and talk to him. We have an appointment with him tonight. Yesterday we had an awesome lesson in elders quorum from, Elder Oaks talk on the relationship between love and law. You should read it.
Also Ive been thinking that Im not so sure about majoring in Accounting anymore. Ive started to feel like I should study some kind of science/technology/business field...I dont know why Ive been getting those feelings either - I havent been trying to think about it. They have just been popping up in my mind lately for some reason. Theres no one to talk to about it though, and no time to really think about it so im pretty confused.
Oh and I got permission from Kaicho to apply for classes on my own on Pday once the time comes to do it, so you dont have to worry about that.
Anyways thats all I have for now. Thanks for writing me and keeping me updated. I love you!!

Hot Water
1/18/10 Email Message
Family,
Sorry I dont have a lot of time today, but I just wanted to say hi and let you know how things are going. Yesterday Anjiki kyoudai got baptized. It was one of the most incredible experiences. Everything from meeting him the first time to yesterdays service was just one huge unbelievable blessing. And yesterday something really special happened.
When we first got there in the morning the hot water in the font wasnt working. Weve had a freak snow storm the past few days and all of the pipes to the font were completely frozen over. Nothing we did could get them to work. So we filled up pots with water at the kichen sink, brought them to a boil, and then filled up the font little by little. The service was at 2:00 and by 11:30 we had barely even made a dent in the font. Meanwhile the pipes were still compltetely frozen and refusing to let in the hot water. At that point our Elders Quorum president called my companion and I together and we stood and prayed to Heavenly Father and asked Him to give us hot water so that Anjiki kyoudai could be baptized at 2 o' clock. As he was praying I started to smile as I felt the power of his prayer and I felt absolutely certain that God would take care of it for us. When we had concluded the prayer we sat in silence for a few moments...before 10 seconds had even passed we heard the water heater kick in, the pipes start to gurgle, and hot water came pouring out of the faucet into the font. The three of us looked at each other, smiled, and our Elders Quorum president cried out (in english) "Unbelievable!" With ice still covering the pipes on the outside and the temperature still well below freezing, God gave us hot water so that Anjiki kyoudai could be baptized at 2 o' clock.
After I baptized him, and before we had climbed out of the font, Anjiki kyoudai looked at me with a big smile on his face, gave me a big hug (something Japanese men never do), and said "Thank you. This is just the beginning."
Its been a long time since this branch has seen a baptism. Everyone was so happy and so excited. All of the women were crying and all of the men kept shaking my hand and thanking me for my hard work. But what they dont know is it wasnt me at all. All I did was pray. The Lord did all of the work.
This whole experience is just representative of the last 2 months of my mission. Over the last two months, Ive finally learned how to pray. Ive really felt the power of pleading with my Heavenly Father. I know that no matter what happens, if we pray with real intent and with sincere desire the Lord will hear our prayers. No matter what the circumstances are, when we really need it, the Lord will provide the hot water.
I love you!! I love my mission! Miracles are happening every day. It truly is amazing.
Much Love,

And he knew his prayers had been answered
1/10/10 Email Message
Family,
Yay! BAMA won! Im sure Austin is on top of the world right now. Its crazy how they went from nothing to National Champions in 3 years. Hopefully they can do it again next year so I can see it.
We had transfer calls last week and we found out Elder Carthew and I will be together for at least another 6 weeks. Which is good because we have a lot of good things going on right now.
This Sunday Anjiki san is getting baptized. He asked me to baptize him because he thinks of me as the answer to his prayers. He had been praying for months to find the true church - actually he had been praying for God to send the true church to him some how. He thought about going to many different churches during that time, but he felt impressed to just keep praying for the true church to come to him. So with faith he continued to study the scriptures and pray for a miracle. And then we ran into each other on the street and he knew his prayers had been answered. Im so happy for him. The branch is super excited too.
About my return date...I've officially decided to extend until June 24. Im going to tell President in my interview this week. I dont know what your plans are for when I get home, but I hope the end of June is ok. I just feel like this is the only chance I have in my life to serve the Lord in this way, and Id like to make it last just a little bit longer. I think I can do a lot of good things here in Hachinohe and Misawa so Id like to have more time to serve the people here...Im sorry Mom ;-)
Hey I got the chips and salsa! Thanks so much - they are soo good. It made my companion happy too.
I love you! I hope everyone has a great week. And I hope Kendall is having a good start to the semester! Make sure you live it up! Talk to you soon!

"I got my answer. Its true. What else can you tell me?"
1/4/10 Email Message
Akemashite Omedeto Gozaimasu - or as we say in English...HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
That is so cool Josh got to come for New Years and chow down on Dads famous gyouza. Has everyone recovered from the gyouza burps yet? I hope you and he had a great time together. I miss him a lot. Tell him Im looking forward to the 2011 anual Kingsford Family/Josh Bell gyouza party. It will be the first time weve had the whole clan together in a while...it should be fun!
Also Dad thats exciting! Im glad you won the contract. It sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun for the next few years. I hope everything goes smoothly - lets just hope the government stays out of the way as much as possible ;-)
It was great talking to everyone on the phone for Christmas. I think its funny how it seemed like you all were just in the other room. I havent seen my family for over 18 months but when whenever we talk on the phone its like no time has passed at all. If it werent for the fact that theres a new baby that wasnt there before and Kendall now sounds like an adult ;-) I might think nothing has changed at all. It was definitely the highlight of my christmas!
Today we went with a member family to see Jesus's grave. Apparently Jesus and his brother Isukiri are buried here in the mountains of Hachinohe. There are two graves with crosses sticking out of the ground and a buddhist shrine dedicated to Jesus to prove it. It was pretty interesting. But what was really interesting is the village at the base of the hill is called Herai machi and there are a lot of families that live around there named Herai. Herai is the Japanese form of the word hebrew. Also there are paintings from hundreds of years ago that depict brown haired fair skinned village people living in the area. Pretty weird...
But after that we went to a uma shop and had grilled uma and uma sashimi. In case you are wondering...uma means horse. Yep thats right - we ate horse sashimi...raw horse meat. And it was surprisingly really good. It was really soft and actually kind of sweet. Nothing like anything Ive eaten before. Do they sell horse meat in America? I have never heard of it...
Things are going really well. We have a ton of good investigators and we are teaching lots and lots of lessons. Its a fun time to be a missionary right now. One of the most prepared people I have ever met is getting bapized in two weeks. His name is Anjiki san. We met him 3 weeks ago and every time we meet him his faith just blows me away. He is so excited to learn about the restored gospel. He just wants to know everything - he cant get enough. Every time he learns something new he goes home, prays about it, and then comes back and says "I got my answer. Its true. What else can you tell me?" Its amazing. We are all excited for his baptism - especially the branch. They are kind of lacking in able priesthood holders so they are so excited to welcome such a strong faithful potential leader into the branch. We are so blessed!
I love you! I hope everyone has a good time watching Alabama beat Texas! Talk to you next week!

God sent me my dog Merritt
12/18/09 Email Message to Elder Kingsford from his Mom
Dear Elder Kingsford,
I am so sad to type this but we had to put Merritt to sleep yesterday. She wasn't able to get up onto her hind legs since Sunday. We took her to the vet on Monday morning and she was put on pain medicine. She didn't feel pain but she could not get up and throughout the week she got worse. We've had her on some joint medicine and it has worked for a while. It gave us time to appreciate her and let her KNOW we appreciate her.
Your Dad would get her up every morning, since Sunday, by lifting her back end and then she would go and eat and pee until she fell on the ground again. Then Dad brought her back in to sleep on her pillow. She never cried or made a paining sound.
It was amazing to watch Merritt this past week. Even though she couldn't get up she wanted to live her every day life anyway. She would make me take her outside at her regular scheduled times and then she would hop around the yard doing her thing, Chasing the Sun. At 3:30 the Sun is gone from the yard so I would go out and bring her back into the house to lay on her pillow. She wagged her happy tail the whole time. She has made me see how much she enjoys the simple pleasures life has to offer. Somehow it made me realize I need to do the same.
She has been a big part of my every day life since you left for college. She sleeps in our room and snores her head off. So I've gotten to enjoy snoring in stereo. She follows me all around the house when we are home alone together. She talks to me and she loves all my friends and They love her.
Dad called the Vet on Thursday to ask if there was more we could do for her. Sadly No. She was getting worse everyday. I couldn't bare to take her in to put her to sleep, so Dad took her for us. He said she was given a sedative and then he petted her for a while and he told her thank you for being a good pet and we would see her again. Then she quickly fell asleep. The Vet came in and injected the pink stuff. Within 30 seconds she was expired. Dad didn't cry at all. I cried, Kimberly cried and Kendall cried. Dad was mournful but crying on the inside. I am so glad that your Dad was able to take her in for us. We didn't want to see her suffer and she surely would have if we had waited through the weekend. I am so grateful she didin't suffer. She was a great dog and a big blessing in our lives.
We have been so busy with the Christmas festival this year so it put us kind of behind for Christmas. But we have been having a great season so far. I think Dad is emailing you about scheduling our phone call. YAy!!
Awesome to hear you are receiving blessings from Heavenly Father in your new area. It is always so inspiring when I experience great things beyond my own ability and recognize that it is the will of God and I get to be a part of it.
We got your packages for Christmas. I love that ours is in a hello kitty box. Thank you.
Josh Bell is home. He looks fantastic. So much so that a bunch of my girls think he is cute. He spoke to all the seminary classes his first full day home. At one point he told them about the email you wrote to me when you received a letter from him and how you felt it was like Ammon seeing his brothers in the gospel. And the great joy he felt. They loved listening to him.
Can't wait to hear your voice.
Love You,
Mom

Dear Family,
I have to admit I have been crying for the last few minutes. And I cant quite seem to get the tears out of my eyes. At first I thought it was silly because she is just a dog, but we all know thats not true. Merritt was always more to me than just a dog. Shes a big part of my life. Shes been my friend since I was a little boy. Every boy needs a dog - and Merritt was mine. I could pull her ears and tail, pick her up, roll her over, lay on her, pretty much do anything to her and she never complained. She never jumped on me or slobbered on my clothes. She hated cats just like I did. She let me play with her when I was bored, hug her when I was sad, and talk to her when I needed a friend. Somehow she always knew when I was sad. She refused to learn tricks or fetch a ball - but thats just because all that was beneath her. At the time in my life when I most needed someone, God sent me my dog Merritt. And I loved her. And she was special to all of us. I dont know how many times we've said this over the years but she was our perfect dog. She matched us perfectly. I always felt like God made her for us - and He probably did. We are so blessed to have been able to love her for so long. She was a good dog - and one of my biggest personal blessings. Ill miss her.
But on the subject of happier things...I cant believe that Josh is home! Have you had him over yet? Thats cool that he got to meet Asher. I wonder what life is like for him right now. Probably pretty weird. Next time you see him tell him I said hi. And dont get married before I get home!
I'm excited to talk to everyone this week!
Much Love,
Elder Kingsford

I was totally out of my element
12/7/09 Email Message
Family,
Thanks so much for all of your emails. It was fun to get so many emails all at the same time. It makes for a great P-day :-)
So I dont know if I told you but my new area actually covers three branches. Two of them are Japanese branches and one of them just happens to be the American Misawa Air Force service mens branch. A "branch" of 200 American members. And we go there every Thursday to work with members and teach lessons.
Last Thursday was my first experience with it and it was crazy! We first went to the Branch Presidents house to have lunch with him and his family. I was pretty shocked. Here we were in the middle of
And that was only the start. From dinner another member picked us up, took us on base, and bought us pizza hut - meat lovers and extra cheese with cinna sticks on the side. As my companion handled the family (once again three little blonde haired blue eyed girls) I just held on to my IBC root beer and tried to fit in.
Im not so sure about this whole going home thing anymore. It was scary. Maybe this is good though. I can slowly ease myself back into American life one day a week. Lets hope things go better next time! Of course the three bags of American groceries they sent us home with werent so bad. It was great to have frosted mini wheats for breakfast again...
And thanks for my package! Everything was awesome. Especially the sweats. They are amazing - exactly what I was hoping for. And nice choice on the color - I can fit right in on campus next year.
Also that is so cool that BAMA is going for it all this year! Im so excited! I hope they pull it out. Jason is just going nuts right now. Hes the sports editor for the University paper so he gets a full paid trip to the game complete with press passes and everything. SO JEALOUS!!! Im wearing my bama hoody every day!!
Anyways I love you. I gotta run but I hope you all have a great week! Talk to you soon!
Much Love,
Elder Kingsford
