Dear Family:
Well it has been another week in Clinton, Iowa. It is continuing to get cold here and very gloomy but no snow so far. We are told to expect some very soon in the area. We have not been able to see much success from missionary work this past week. The excommunicated member we are trying to help quit smoking has not been doing well. He has relapsed multiple times this past week and last time we talked to him he was contemplating stopping his meds so that he could be miserable. Keep him in your prayers. Not much else happened. This coming week should be good since we have some appointments with investigators that we have not contacted in a while. The mission is up to around 365 for this year. We have two more weeks to do this.
Well I am not really sure about what time we will be calling you guys on Christmas. I will give you an exact time next week in my Email. Hopefully it will not be too late to let you all know. I have received packages from Mom and Dad and also the Burris family. We do not have much planned for Christmas. We will try to visit some members on that day. Hopefully we will be able to figure that out because contrary to some people belief, missionaries are not very welcome on holidays. Thanksgiving day me and Elder Barson learned that the hard way when we set aside an hour to go knock on some doors. Nothing was thrown at us but we did get almost all doors slammed in our face.
Well this is about all that I have time for. Thanks for all that every one does for me and I appreciate the prayers that are said. I pray for all of you every time I get the chance.
Sincerely;
Elder Spencer Ariotti
400 for 2012!
