This is the word this week…
My companion and I are doing well and I am learning more Spanish, but slowly. It rains everyday and floods the streets like crazy.
This week we have been working on the members and the inactive. We activated a family and they are coming every week now. We found a guy that wants to get baptized but needs to get married first and stop smoking and I have faith in him.
We are working with Blanca’s family now and hoping we will get far with the sister. Speaking of Blanca’s sister--Lupita and her family invited us to go to her graduation we were hesitant but in the end we said we’d stop by. Well we went, and it was crazy because when we walked in everything went quiet like scary quiet and everyone looked at us ... everyone. And then we had to leave because they all started drinking
Ok, let’s end with the good old testimony…
Fact: God lives. Fact: He loves you and me. Fact: We could work our entire lives and never be able to be worthy of the blessings we take for granted everyday.
Go with the flow,
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.
