He just had this big smile on his face,

 So my new companions name is Elder Towne and he is from Maryland (two states north, he is a Yankee haha but just barely) and it has been a good week, its just very interesting to be training again and on top of that im the district leader so I'm growing a lot and I find that I have even less free time then I have ever had before and it feels great because it all ways feels like……. I'm a missionary haha. But the beginning of the week was hot but the last few days we have had some nice rain and yesterday we had a appointment with a man and it was just a nice rain and we decided that we should go anyways so we start biking and as we bike it just starts coming down, but this time it was not a humid rain so it was nice and at first I think Elder Towne was not to sure about it all but after the lesson and as we biked home (25-30 mins) he just had this big smile on his face, I think he really enjoyed feeling like a missionary his first week out on his mission. Also we have had people coming out of the wood work, and the lord is just putting people and things in our path that just help so much. And I really think it’s the Lord blessing us for obedience and he really wants Elder Towne to have a great start! I just love the work!

Well a update about sister Crystal she has had a hard time with her dad and they came up with the deal that when she comes back from college and still wants to be baptized then she can and the past week he has been planning a lot of things to do with her to keep her from spending so much time with the members and us. Her thirst for knowledge has kind of died a little but she has committed to go to church up there and all the members have friends where she is going so they are going to make sure that she does. We hope to have one more lesson with her before she goes but I know that the Lord will take care of her.

Oh some other things with the new training we have 3 hours of study every day plus as a district leader I have to take another 30 mins and we also have DVD players now so we can watch training videos and it has been a lot of fun, I have learned so much doing all this teaching and I'm just so grateful to the Lord for all of it! So I got to go I have run out of time again but I love you all so much and I hope you all have a great week!! And don’t worry its going to be winter before you or I know it!!          

ELDER MAUGHAN!!
