Crazy Weather

It is August 23, 2011 We are still in Spotsylvania.  We are about 20 miles north of the epic center of an earthquake that hit the Virginia area near the town of Mineral.  We were having lunch at our Zone Leaders apartment when the earthquake hit.  We all thought it was the washing machine for a second till someone yelled EARTHQUAKE!!!  4 of the Elders sprinted out the door and were jumping down 3 flights of stairs.  While some how Elder Morrill and I ended up running to the bathroom for safety.  We are all safe and even Elder Carter and I went street contacting later on.  It was interesting to hear and see peoples reactions to the earthquake.  Then on August 28th Hurricane Irene hit!  Which was a little weird because just 2 days before we had a huge storm and we thought that was Irene.  So what do Elder Slade and I do during a hurricane?  We go tracting.  We did get 2 new investigators that day.  I know that the Lord blesses his servants and leads us to those who are seeking the light of the gospel in their lives.  
Mom and Dad,  I know this gospel is true, and I know the things that we are teaching the people are true.  I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  2 years is a long time, but I know we all will be blessed.  I love you both so much.  I am blessed beyond measure to have you both in my life. 
Love always, your son
