Here is a quick report on the work:
Things are going amazing in Stratford! We had Anita out at church she is a friend of one of the members here named John, he met here randomly at a grocery store and invited her to hear the missionary lessons and come to church. She is a single mom and has three great kids the ages are eight seven and three. Also the members are great here they are giving us referrals to even some of their family members. We have also being seeing tons of success with finding new
investigators and enlarging our teaching pool.

Family Costa Rica looks like it was a blast! Thins are going so well, even though its really cool we are finding tons of success and many people are listening to us the lord is blessing us with our efforts. I have a special request from all return missionaries and their husbands/wives I want to know what you guys did with your last day or two being a missionary, so look in your journal and write me back!!! i love you all and look forward to your responses email them back asap i
don't have much time left.
