Hey you two. It is so good to hear from you again. That picture of Sarah's belly is so cute. You are getting there girl. I can't believe how time has flown. I didn't realize it until I saw that picture. I hear Angela is due with her baby any day now, that is cool. Jamie emailed me and he said he is doing well. So that is so exciting that you two will be moving to Syracuse. I hope all goes well with the move. How long a trip will that be? Probably too long.

Well all is well with me. Missionary work in George is very nice. The other day we went to see a lady who we met one day while looking for an appointment that fell through. When we met her it was just for a short visit. but both Sister Balyejusa felt we should go talk to her for some reason. So we go and knock on the door only she wasn't there, she was just behind coming home from the store. Anyway when she saw us she looked mad and we thought she was going to reject us, but to our surprise she told us to come back the following week, so we set an appointment to caome back then. Here's where the story gets interesting. Just as my companion and I were leaving the lady turns around and asks us how long the dicussion would take, we told her it would take about 45 minutes, she then said, "ok, you can come in." So went in and began teaching her. We had a very spirit filled discussion, and every thing went well. After we finished teaching her we asked her how she felt about the message we shared with her, and she began to cry. She then told us that she was going through a very hard time and had actually planned to take her life that day. If Sister Bayejusa and I hadn't been knocking at the door when we had been, she would have been dead. It' amazing where the Lord leads us sometimes. That was such an amazing experience to know we were able to help that young woman at that time. It's amazing how the Lord leads us to where we are needed at certain times. In this instance it was vital to a person's life. I love being a missionary. It's moments like that that makes being a missionary worth everything in the world.

Well I thought I would share with you that experience. I love you guys. Good luck with getting to Syracuse, and keep up the good work. I will always keep you in my prayers.

Love. Sister Crawford
