We received a great email from him this week.  I leave you with a few of the highlights.

so wednesday we had a lesson with this gal named Samantha, sadly she was addicted to smoking and also she was a cutter i felt so bad for her seeing the scars all over her arm.  We were teaching the lesson the word of wisdom and the law of Chasity so i was nervous.  Yet the very first thing she told us was this story about how her boyfriend came over and she had him watch the restoration she then told us how she testified of the truth that she knows it is true.  the lesson went over way well i mean she is way nervous but she knows that she can overcome smoking that is her biggest fear.  It is crazy just seeing the change in these people.

We have had great succes trackting though throughout the rest of the week we are like breaking records we have these things called ITL's which are short for invite to learns the goal is each week to have a hundred we had around 150 this week it was awesome.  We also found like 5 new investegators which we have begun to teach, i mean this place is blooming.  So for fast sunday i bore my testimony trying to light a fire under the ward to get their help and dang it was nuts they all came up afterwards and had the glow just wanting to learn more and more importantly wanting to help.

This isn't even the half of it, The coolest story i wrote down for you right afer it happened and i will send it out tomorrow so you should get it friday   that was the best part far and away   pretty much the jist is we are going to have two baptisms this month.... dang i am loving this


I am not going to lie sometimes it is hard i have not been able to get enough sleep cause my bedding actually just got here today, so i have been kinda beddingless but hey whatever once i get outside it is gametime baby and we have been doing great well most inmportantly i love you all and can't wait to talk again,   i love getting your letters it just makes that whole day go better. Pray for the people of augusta,
