I'm doing pretty great!  Yeah, I've been trying to respond to everyone at once with the emailing so that it saves time and I've got a lot more emails to respond to now with these Birthday wishes and my trainer writing me.  I need to get Daniel Suoms email address and Jordan Moreno's.  It would be nice if I could get those as well as Bryce, Parker's and Dallin's, thank you!

I used my card to buy food recently because I ran out of my MSF for the month.  But the month is almost over and I had used the money on my MSF right before transfers so I was upset that I wouldn't be able to take most of what I bought with me.

So Wakefield and King George are different in the fact that Wakefield is SO much more ghetto.  That's pretty much the only difference, ha ha!  We can see the coastline and some factory.  A big bridge connects Maryland to Virginia in the view that we have. 

Oh, sweet, you're with the Reagh's!!!  Please get me JP's email address!  Give them my love for me!

Elder Barney is great!  He's from Arkansas and loves sports and roping.  He's going home in 4 weeks!  I will have yet another new companion.

Mom asked how we get most of our investigators and it's still mainly tracting and referrals from other missionaries.  This area has a TON of less active members so we're working really hard to invite them to come back and offer any services we can to them! Our most interesting investigator is a man named Arthur.  He is 32 years old, but because of cancer he had when he was a young kid, he acts like a 15 year old boy and his testosterone is like gone.   We are working with him to determine which Church is the true church for him.  The one he currently attends or the LDS church.  He said he received an answer saying that the one he was attending currently was the one he was told to go to.  I then asked him if he had been reading from the Book of Mormon.  He said he had not.  I then told him that if he wanted to receive the answer he was looking for, because he really loves the LDS church and was disappointed in his answer, that he would have to put forth the effort and read from it.  I invited him to read 3 Nephi 11, the crowning point in the Book of Mormon when Jesus Christ appears to the Nephites and to read Moroni 10.  Then pray and continue to read and then he would receive the answer that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true Church and that The Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith indeed was a prophet of God, called to restore the fullness of the Gospel on the earth today!


Love y'all!
