Hey, how are you guys?!  Things are going well here.  Finding some bumps along the way...probably more than I'd hope for.  There have been challenges for sure.  Not giving up.  We had a pretty exciting week with all that has happened.  I experienced my first earthquake!!  It was pretty cool even though it felt more like a shimmi.  I was hoping to feel more.  Everyone said to be careful because more quakes would be on the way but nope!  Nothing.  Then there was the excitement of the coming hurricane. I was wondering if it was going to be another Hurricane Ike!  But nope, thhe day it was supposed to arrive it went down to a level 1 and we, in Berryville, had sunshine and blue skies.  Pretty uneventful :)  Other than that nothing too exciting.  We are breaking records in the mission which is great!  Please tell everyone I said hello and that I love them and miss them...whoever they are.

Miracles are Happening - Aug 8, 2011

Hey everyone!!!  Its a great day.  We just found out that I am staying once again in Berryville!!  I'm excited for that.  I just love Berryvile and we have a lot of things going on right now.  We are teaching two people who are one date for Aug. 27th and we are teaching a family of soon to be 10!  They are so awesome!!  We hope to get them to baptism as well!  We'll miracles are happening in the Maryland Baltimore Mission!  The Lord is continually pouring out his blessing upon us.  We are hoping to be able to bring 400 of our brothers and sisters on the the road back to our heavenly father this year!  By the looks of it we are going to make it.  Elder Cragun and I are excited and really just trying to improve ourselves in every way that we can so we can be more fully prepared to do the Lords work in this area!  I love you all and miss you very much. I hope all is well.  I'm well and happy and thank you for all your love, prayers, support, and letters.  Sorry I haven't been writing back as much.  I always mean to but end up planning for our investigators or getting into the book of mormon again or preach my gospel. I've never loved the gospel of Jesus Christ more than I do now!  I'll talk to you all next pday!!
