Jacob - April 24, 2017

Hey everyone, I'm going to attempt to write a decent letter this week,
but we'll see how it goes. The week went well, we did a lot of finding
and on the spot teaching. We have a decent amount of people we are
working with. But they are all mostly still at the beginning phases of
their progression. There are a few people that have received the
lessons for a while, we are thinking about dropping them since they
aren't doing very much to progress. But that's missionary work for
you. One of the people we found recently is a high school girl and
she's pretty cool, really open and reading. We'll be seeing her again
this Tuesday, but we need to get permission to teach her and get her
family on board. Also this week I went on an exchange with elder Carr,
it went really good, he's from Sioux City, Iowa. We had a good time
together and we were able to explain how Iowa is with the members we
were eating with. That was fun, we talked a lot about corn. We then
had district Meeting on Wednesday, that was good. Thursday was a
normal day.. Friday was super fun. I didn't get any pictures and sort
of regret that, but we did this super cool service project for a bunch
of disabled kids/adults. We got to hang out with a guy named Curtis
and played baseball (he didn't miss a single swing), we saw a bunch of
dogs, played basketball, soccer and football. Then there was a
concert, the band was ok, but the music definitely wasn't missionary
approved. But they weren't bad songs. Anyways on saturday I got to do
baptismal interviews for a family of 4. They mostly passed except for
one, but the missionaries are going to do some reteaching so that they
can all be baptized the same day. It's pretty cool and they are a
solid family. Sunday went well, we found some new areas within our
area that have a good Hispanic population. We then were able to see
some other investigators and saw some members as well. Overall this
week went well. Like I said it was a lot of finding so it's hard to
remember all the details. Oh something else we learned is how to make
chile using a mortar and pestle (something like that), I'm just going
to use a blender, but at least I know the ingredients. I can't
remember much more than that. But I hope you all have a great week!
Love you!
