The End Cory's last email!!

Hey family,
SO things have gone by way to fast and I can't believe that its time to come home. All day yesterday and today my stomach has been turning over and over iam way excited to come home. So things are going a little crazy lately satan has been working hard on me. Last week my watches battery died then on sunday my camera broke and wont charge I even bought a new battery thinking that it might of been that well its not. I got a flu shot from a docter in the ward and the secretary told me that they would cover it well i got a bill in the mail and it was 20 dollars, so I set 20 dollars a side to pay for the shot well I got up this morning and the money and the paper are not in the spot that I left them. So I have to fork up 20 more dollars. I have just had a lot of crap happening to me lately. But were pressing forward! Sorry that the letter was so short there wasn't to much to say. Iam really exited to coming home on thursday and to see you all. I miss you and love you I can't wait to talk to you on thursday. we do go to the mission home tomorrow. well ill talk to you all later bye.

Hey family so this is going to be short I think maybe 1 paragraph. jk So things are going good we are having alot of things start to work out for us. We dont have anyone else that we can set with a baptism date but we are trying to find someone. Acctually do you remember me telling you about michele the lady that I baptized in roanoke. Well her grandson that is 8 got baptized on saturday. So i gues that we planted more seeds there then we expected. WEll here is the good news for this week. Brittney is set with a baptism date! yay and not just any day it is the 15 of november the last sunday I have in the mission field. She is way excited and ready for it. We taught her the plan of salvation and things went really good. I really hope that we can find one more person and set them with a date before I leave. Things are going really well I can't believe that I only have 16 days its going way to fast I dont want it to end. When we were teaching brittney I wished that I could extend my mission. ( but we know that mom wouldn't allow that) jk It hasn't hit me yet that I will be home in no time I am still in shock. I dont think it will be real till iam on the airplane. we had our interviews on saturday and man can you say fast. All president asked me was how was elder chymboryk doing and what srengths he had. That lasted 3 min and then that was it i was out of there. I Bet he was just waiting till this last one to have a longer one. I hope atleast. Well I dont know what else you really want to know. Oh thanks for finding out what time I get released. I dont feel like I have been out for 2 years. There are some members in the 3 ward that are having a BBQ and a bon fire next week for me to have one last hurahh. They are pretty cool. They have a daughter out at BYU that keeps telling them to invite me over:D jk For Halloween we carved pumpkins and went out to dinner with the other lynchburg elders. It wasn't nothing special. Oh here is a funny story for you. On sunday morning the alarm went off and I jumped up and got in the shower and then was shaving and then all of a sudden our cell phone alarm went off. It hit me it was day light savings time. I was so mad I blew it. We got back in bed and took a hour nap just to get that hour sleep:D Well I love you all and miss you guys can't wait to talk to you in Two weeks:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Love you Bye. Love Elder Cory Alan Downward
