Elder Maughan and Brother and Sister dePaula

Back in February, I was snooping around on the internet trying to find out some information about Justin's mission. I did a search for the New York New York South Mission and I happend upon a blog set up by a missionary couple serving in this mission. When I opened up their blog, I saw two of the friendliest faces I'd ever seen. I was immediately drawn to them. So much so that I decided to write them a little note telling them about Justin and to have them keep a look out for him. I would check in occassionally, hoping to see Justin, but mostly curious as to what the dePaula's were up to and to maybe see some of the beautiful sights of New York. Today, however, I got more than I bargained for! A picture of Justin and this lovely couple I'd come to know through their blog. They are doing wonderful things in New York and if you'd like to see for yourself, go to http://www.depaulamission.blogspot.com/. Who knows, maybe we'll see more of Justin! Thanks Brother and Sister dePaula, you've made my day! A very smiley missionary mom-- Jamie

Haven't gotten any pictures lately, but we have gotten a few letters. Elder Maughan and Elder Swift have a baptism scheduled for April 20th with a man named Harold. Their district didn't go to the Guggenheim last week on their P-day, they went to the Brooklyn Museum and then took a ferry to Staten Island and ate dinner at Chili's. Transfers are on April 27th, but he doesn't think he'll be transfered. The missionaries got to go to the temple and Justin said that was great. The temple is right across the street from the Lincoln Center. When we get more pictures, I'll be sure to share.
