Wow, well, this week has been going really well. God has been blessing majorly. The first day here, sunday, I had to go back to where the books were stored to get more books, my students ran me out of books. That is a very hard thing to do. I carry 2-3 cases of all the books we sell. The rest of the week almost fell in suit. I was nearly out of books ever day before going to school and ending for the day. My boss is haveing to run down to Loveland to grab more books this weekend so that we don't run out of books before the week is out next week. We are heading to Sheridan next.
This weekend is great. I'm heading to Cody to visit family. My boss gave me the weekend off, including sunday, which most students don't get off. But, I was lucky enough to get it off too, I'm going to see my family up there, the ones that I won't see for quite some time. I'm prety psyched about it.
Everyone please keep all of the LE's in prayers, this is a ministry that all the students see the great controversy played out on a day to day basis.

Most of the way through Cheyenne
Wow, well, from the last time I've updated this alot has happened. We have covered most of the city of Cheyenne, and probably will be heading over to Laramie tomorrow, just so that we have enough territory to last us the time we are here. We are leaving for Casper on friday morning, I'm very excited for this move. There is a very special place in my heart for the city of Casper. Casper is were I spend most of my growing up years. Going back is always fun.
I know that God will bless just as much, if not more, in Casper then he has here in Cheyenne. He has been blessing the students left and right, with both sales and really cool experiences that you can't help but know that they were from God.
One of our students, Natasha, was the first one to leave a whole loaf. Now for those of you who don't know the LE terminology, a whole loaf is all the books that a student carries. Usually a cause of great excitement and this time was no exception. I've been surprised that there havn't been any more than that one I don't think, last summer by the end of the first two weeks we had quite a few already. But then again, Wyoming is a totally different beast than Colorado.
For those of you who don't keep up with Beth, she is doing well, doing the IRR training in Colorado. She has successfully completed her Swiftwater technician and Advanced. She also survived her solo experience in pretty good form from what I've heard. The IRR program is just starting to come to a close, it ends on Thursday night. She will be driving to Denver and flying out on the red-eye back home.
Well, I think that is all the new news that is news or something from my side. Hope you all are having a good summer.

Start of Literature Evangelism
Today was the first day of Literature Evangelism. Today was orientation, we have quite a few new students, so we had to go over alot of the things that we normally might not have had to go over as much. Tomorrow all the "old" students will go out with me, which will be fun. The first day of the summer is always a blast, it kind of sets the stage for what is going to happen the rest of the summer. We have a pretty young group this summer, which is a nice change of pace. There are only 9 "old" students working this summer out of 23, so its alot of new people.
I'm so happy to be in Wyoming again, the afternoon thundershowers are amazing. We had one today that is still going, its been 3 or 4 hours now. There is no need for an explanation for why alot of people call this state Gods Country. It is so beautiful now, so green and beautiful. Words can't quite do justice for the beauty of the thunderheads stacked against the mountains with the sun just reaching through. I have visions of Heaven looking like that.
Pray for all of us as we get ready to impact people for God here in Cheyenne.
