I'm Back.

So it's tuesday and not monday if you haven't noticed yet... and this keyboard is really weird so i'm having some difficulties.

Anyway the library was closed yesterday so we werent able to actually e-mail, but here i am!

It's been pretty good since last week, i can't complain.

Except church was rather rough. Our average is about 150 people at church every week. On christmas we hit 175 and this last sunday we had maybe 70. None of which were investigators. But i feel that everything will start working again now that the holidays are over.

We haven't been able to see daryl since last i talked about him which is kind of concerning me because we got to get that kid baptized. So i'm pretty sure we are going to go and see him today. Bell and trina are doing great, but unfortunately Bell has some sort of deadly virus that may keep her from church this sunday, and more down the road. So pray that she can get better and that she can still get baptized this month.

We have a few new people Dale and his son cody and his daughter hannah. They are all on date for baptism for the 28! It was great because we just taught them on there doorstep and then put them on date. We'll have to go see them very soon.

Then there is Sydney and her son who just moved from virginia and had all the lessons taught to them and want to be baptized. We are going to have dinner with them on saturday. So there's a couple more baptisms that should happen.

Byron is still great and understands everything we're teaching but unfortunately we are having trouble getting him to church. I'm concerned that that may hold him back.

So there's many people that we are working with right now and over the next few weeks we'll see what happens. But we are going to work as hard as we possibly can.

So i'm excited to hear that i have more than one memory card on the way. I have the new camera now and i went kind of crazy for a bit, i'm cooling down now. But i still probably already have about 4-5 gigs full of stuff. It goes by pretty quick.

The picture of madison you sent me was really stretched out but i still think that it's the coolest picture ever! I'm so proud, (sniff) give me a second i'm starting to tear up. But seriously that is really awesome. (I had included a picture of Madison in my email to Kyle  -- it was her birthday and she got an Xbox 360. The picture was Madison with her Xbox, drinking a can of Pepsi. I think she wants to be just like her big bro!)

Don't worry about my sarcastic wit mom. For better or worse i'll probably have that trait for most of my life!

But yeah, that's me, that's my life.

Oh and it's rather cold right now, two days ago it was in the 70's now it's in the 50's brrrr! Remember i got the humidity factor.

I'm right with you mom, i'll try to write more hand written letters!

P.S.

No frog giggin yet. (When we talked to Kyle on Christmas we asked him what there was to do around there. Someone at the house he was out suggested they go 'frog giggin')  I don't think we'll be able to unfortunately, it's where you go to the swamp at midnight with a shotgun when all of the frogs are out and about.... I guess i'll just have to do that when i visit in the future.

This picture is just cool...
