Kent Island

My cute Sister Bridges FINALLY sent some photos on a CD this week--although one of the CD's WOULDN'T OPEN any of the photos...grrr..... I am going to send Lerin a flash drive this week for her to use instead of the unreliable semi-outdated CD! 
Enjoy.....
I found my brother's own road!

A few snipets of Lerin's latest letter....
Oh my goodness I love missionary work! We had such an amazing week! I am so humbled to be a part of this work of miracles. What a blessing it is to serve in the Maryland Baltimore Mission at this time. The success of the week is in large part to the council received at Zone Conference this past week. Every day we made it a goal to update our area book and that has made all of the difference. We have been making it a point to have kneeling prayer every time whenever possible and pray on behalf of our investigators. It has made all of the difference. I know I have been negative in the past about our area with the different issues but I love serving on Kent Island. There are great things that are happening. We are gaining the trust of the members and have received many referrals this past week with some team-ups planned for later this week.
 

Something exciting happened on Saturday. We were asked by our Branch Mission leader, Bro. Bishop, to attend a community Easter party held by Kevin Philpot. Kevin has been doing this Easter party for 20 years out of the goodness of his own heart. Bro. Bishop writes for the local newspaper and was asked to do a story on the event. While interviewing Kevin, the topic of religion came up in conversation. Kevin indicated he is looking for a church to take his grandchildren to. Bro. Bishop immediately bore testimony of the gospel and told Kevin that we as missionaries could come and teach him more about the church. Kevin accepted. We met him at the Easter party and were able to get his contact information to set up an appointment for this week.  Yippee!!!

More and more miracles like this are starting to happen. I have a firm testimony that the Lord will bless us as we show our diligence and love for our brothers and sisters. I love serving and am grateful for the blessing that the Lord has given me this week and hope and pray that He will continually help us as we remain worthy of the spirit.
