Dear Family:
Well it has been another fall week in Canton. We have had a really successful week. We got someone to commit to a baptism date on November 24. We have been continuing to teach this one guy that we challenged to pray about being baptized. We also have been having a lot of member invite us in so that we could introduce Elder White to them. We have heard some great news. The other branch that we are in charge of will be getting there own senior missionaries. This will be very good for them since they have not had there own missionaries in over 5 years. We have not heard when they will arrive yet. But it will be very exciting as time passes.
Well unfortunately we have had to drop off our car in the repair shop for a few days while it gets a new rear bumper. It will be hard these next few days to have to walk to all of our appointments. We think it will be done on Wednesday but they will be giving us a call when it is ready for us. After that we will be walking for a good mile and a half to pick it up. So we will have the great experience of living like the missionaries when the Gospel was restored on the earth.
Yesterday I gave my talk on Enduring to the End. Everyone says that it went very well and that I did very well in preparing for it. That should be my last talk to give for a while until I get transferred to a new area.
I would like to issue a challenge to everyone (I think I have not asked you guys to do this.). The mission has a year goal of doing 400 baptisms for 2012. We have been blessed with many people and much faith so for in this year. We have about 290 for this year so far. My challenge to everyone is to help us by praying for this goal to be accomplished. Last year at this time the missionaries lost hope for the baptismal goal that year. But seeing the mission progress this year has raised my faith in God and his promises and I know it will do the same for all of you as you do this.
Love you all!
Elder Spencer Ariotti
