I heard about the Boston explosions, which is crazy. I just thought about Jameson being at the marathons, but he knows to be careful. I didn't know about the fertilizer plant exploding, or that the guys were caught, that's knew information for me. Elder Harrer and I were just talking about how Satan is turning up the heat on the world, and how members need to step it up, or they will fall back into a bad routine. We are dealing with a lazy ward, and are trying to get them more active, and more engaged. Yesterday we had Elder Munns of the seventy speak at our ward about this exact thing, it helped a lot. We are also seeing some improvements. Things are picking up again, and I hope it continues to progress!

Not much happened with our investigators this week. Tracted a lot, and I wore sunscreen this time! I'm sorry but I didn't get a picture of the helmet strap on my face, but I still have the summer to get one!

We had an awesome experience last night. We got to go to a fireside with Marvin Goldstein, a famous piano player, and another famous singer who's name escapes me, Vanessa? But it was two hours long, and very uplifting. He is a funny guy! He was cracking jokes left and right, and it was real fun to be there. He talked about his conversion story from being a Jew to LDS. It took 4 years! He also told us he pushed a missionary into the pool, and he had his suit on! You can kind of see what kind of man this is, haha. He started playing the piano when he was 9, and 3 hours a day he practiced. He is now 60, so he is real good! There were several families from chipley there, and I got to catch up with them. It was really weird to see them. It was like seeing family.

We are still doing good though! President Jensen asked my thoughts on moving to Georgia Macon mission, and I told him wherever the Lord wants to send me I'll go! So who knows? I might be changing missions! I also learned that Javi is going to be absorbed in that mission, so that will be an interesting experience!

About Daniel, I think it's awesome that he is going with the Johnsons. They are a good family. It's going to help a lot having Daniel be around them, especially right after Gibson gets back.

I need to start running more if Jameson is going to recruit me for that...how many miles do they run again? Whew! :)

LOVE y'all and talk to you next week, I'm fixen to head out! :)
