Florida or Bust!

As a family, we have decided to walk the distance from Bennington to Orlando, Florida before Elder Burdick completes his mission. Together we hope to have walked 2298 miles before October 2009. And maybe be a size or two smaller!! Thank you Lara for up-dating our count down. Start Walking!!!

Things are going great here, there was a spanish family that showed up last week at the spanish branch, so i set up an appointment to go back and teach them this week, and when we went there, we started talking about the restoration and the book of mormon, and he pulled out his own copy that missionaries had given him a long time ago and told me that he had read all of first and second Nephi, and he knows that it is true! Then he asked me what he has to do to be baptized! It was amazing! Ivan has been soo prepared by the lord! He wants to be baptized on Christmas Eve but we dont know yet, hopefully it will follow through, if not then, it will be short after, I love the power of the Book of Mormon! I recently started over again and it amazes me how much new things you learn everytime! I love it, if people would just humble themselves and pray about it they would know!
We have some awesome christmas activities going on in the ward, last saturday we had the ward christmas party and we had about 5 investigators show up! It was awesome, they asked us to be shepherds, and they made us sing a duet:-( oh well, this ward has alot of extremely talented musicians, so they made up for it!
