Happy 4th!

Hello

So it was a very interesting weekend but fun at the same time. We heard Red Bank did the best firework show so we decided to stay in Red Bank for fireworks. It was saturday night around 9 when they started and went on for about 1/2 an hour. it was cool the way they set it up - they played music and had the fireworks/music synchronyzed. i have almost the whole firework show on my camera but my camera doesn't pick up sound, and if it does, i can't figure it out. besides that everything was good. it was interesting because of the crowd of teenagers that were out - the streets were filled with people, tons of high school students (most likely) and they were all smoking and had been/were drinking.... it was a crazy sight. i think i have a video of it. that was my weekend. i forgot that the ward does a pancake breakfast every year. thats good everyone had fun there. i can make bishops pancakes now just the proportions aren't exactly right yet but they are still good.

haha that sounds like fun. here they launched the fireworks off the water (navesink river is the name) which was cool. sunday we were at a members house for their sons birthday party. he turned 4 and they had a pinata and 3 of us elders were choosen to hit the pinata - they say i was the funniest. elder hannah has a video i'll have him send me and hopefully i can send it to you.

sorry i don't have time to answer the rest of the questions. my time is up. i love you all and thank you for everything. i'm staying in red bank so you can send whatever to my apartment. i might email home wednesday. have a great week.

love craig
