Hello world,
Today is July 5th and I’m closing in on my 7 month mark out in the field. And I’m doing pretty well. Now that Mexico is out of the world cup things are quieting and my companion and I are finding some really good investigators—and I’m even helping more in the lessons. We have to work more with our ward because they are having problems and we need their help to continue the work here. But once we iron out the problems all will be well. My companion and I are doing better and I’m learning to love him and get along with him. I still haven’t mastered Spanish yet, but I’m being patient and studying harder. It floods everyday here but I’m starting to like it ha ha. I sent a package and I hope it gets to everyone soon.
Breaking the mold,
Elder Cranford
ether twelve:four wherefore, whoso believeth in God, might with surety, hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

the fellowship of the unashamed
I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The Decision has been made. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by Faith, lean on HIS presence, walk with patience. I am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go 'till he comes, give 'till I drop, preach 'till all know, and work 'till he stops me. And when He returns for His Own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My Banner will be clear.
