Lighten' Up The Town.......

Well; check this one out:
"Prep. Work"

"The Big Ol' Bonfire"

Direct from Justin :

"got a new investigar and had a huge bonfire also so it was a pretty killer week!"

"Picture this wekk are of of the big ol bonfire and sadly my camera died right when I wanted it, so these are mostly from Elder Warburtons camera.  The man standing next to the fire is about as tall as Elder Warburton and I, so you can get an idea of how big it was.  I got a nice tan from 2-30 ft away."

Justin has been quite the busy Elder, especially with the duties of being a district leader.  Heres another clip out of a recent email.

"Lots of great things are happening in our mission.  Last week we had 98 Baptismal dates for the mission.  Many in areas that were considered to be "dead or dying."  there are actually 4 within my last area Pensacola.  One of them was neat to hear about.  Her husband was inactive when I was there. (I never actually got to see him.)  I only saw her a few times.  But was able to give her a large print Book of Mormon that she could read.  Never really able to see her after that, cause contact number was changed about 4 days later; and she has this crazy black labrador that would try to climb the chain-link fence and kill you!  But now it turns out she has been reading & praying and now has a baptism date!"  {---- Justin is quite excited about that.

"in other news this week.  I conducted a baptismal interview this week for a young boy named Conner, who is getting baptized into the Tally 2 Ward.  There is also another who I will see Tuesday named Cooper.  And there are 2 more BCD's in our district also.  So, I have been traveling to Tally quite frequently."

Work goes forward in Quincy.

Elder Brimhall & Elder Warburton are staying in Quincy for another transfer.  They were both surpized that nothing changed.  Justin said this will be his longest companionship this far; but that okay, because they get along well.

Been working alot of service lately; split firewood, help pour concrete slabs, help construct greenhouses.
            Firewood-  Cut, split & stacked for BONFIRE on April 13th.  (We will inquire as to this event.)                       Justin was joking with something to the effect of "burnt" offerings.  This ought to be interesting story.
                                                  Greenhouse photo opt for the building crew.

We can't wait to hear about this BIG BONFIRE event.  Justin was telling us that maybe they will be roasting hot dogs from 15 feet away.  Hopefully they will have a water hose nearby if it get out of hand.

Justin said he has aquired a few small musical instruments.  A small Uke & a soprano recorder.


Justin & Elder Warburton are currently working with a investigator that the Spanish Elders had referred to them.  He is currently a 7th Day Advent and is open to the Elders & there message.  He has expresssed interest in the Book Of Mormon; so they are excited.

Watch for more pictures and more updates to come soon.
