More Baptisms

i'll be honest, im a little bit homesick right now, just because of the type of experiences ive been having lately. one real eye opener happened, something very sacred and special, that i'll always remember. i wrote it in my journal. one of the members down in Smyrna had recently passed away of cancer, thats about all i can really say. (thats all i feel prompted to share..) i have been getting very worried lately about your sickness ma, you have been on my mind a lot, especially this past week. i just continue to hope and pray that everything will be okay.
so the mission is goin real good now, but ive been so busy, im real tired. p day couldnt have come at a better time, i could seriously use some down time. we have had a crazy week.. and next week (on 25 July) we have two more people being baptized.. one who has been a long time investigator, who finally feels ready. (We have had some pretty amazing lessons with her) i have been mightily blessed here in Wilmington with all the people we are currently teaching. it has been amazing, but by the end of the day i am spiritually and physically drained. my head hits that pillow and i am out! its been real fun too, but we've just been real busy.
so how is everyone back home? any summer fun? how is Bishop Urry doing? can you tell that guy to email me, and i can send him a letter back?
i am not allowed to go on the blog anymore, i was very tempted to look "one last time". i know blessings will come for being obedient. also are you guys doing a xmas in July? just wondering. dad the nametag i sent you, i hope you like it. and another thing.. zone conferences, will only be once every other transfer. so 4 times a year!! it kinds stinks, that means less opportunities to get mail, so if youre sending a package soon, (or mail) please just send it here to Newport.. (my companion goes home in August 17, so im bound to stay here at the very least, six weeks following that) til end of september.
the weather has cooled down alot here, only because its been raining real crazy lately.. yes we've even had some floods lol but it will get hot soon. along with the 110% humidity, haha no kidding. also we are allowed to go to the temple!!!! but it has to be with our recent convert, and the next year when they go to get their endowments we can go with them. something cool to get us extra motivated!! and to work even harder :D thats about all i can think of for now. but take care, talk to ya next week. x's and o's, Elder Harris
