Dear Family:
Well it has been another week in Clinton Iowa! We have received a inch of snow and a little rush of cold air. From what I hear everyone is getting what I expected to get in my mission. It is kinda weird...... As soon as I leave cold weather decides to come to Utah and leave Iowa......Anywho........ The work is going in the area. We are having a hard time contacting most of our investigators. They will not return our calls at all and are never home when we try to visit. We are able to visit one investigator but that is because his parents are members and he wants to be baptized. Other then that we are just trying to find new people to teach and trying to contact less actives. We have found out that over Christmas time that people like it if we deliver fudge to them. We are going to have to make another bunch of fudge so that we can get into houses. If it worked on the members I am sure it can work on other people.
Other then that not much is really going on. As I said it snowed and it is cold but it is not very icy outside so I am doing well with my knee. We have not started the year off well with the goal of 550. We only have about 10 so far this year. President recently sent out a email saying that in order for the goal to be accomplished we need around 50 per month. He also gave us the challenge to try and get 100 baptisms for the month of May. That would require us to get around 25 more than what we got in the month of December with Baptisms. But there is good news. We will be getting a bunch of fresh missionaries for the next two months. I feel kinda bad for one of the Elders coming out because it sounds like I will be training someone new soon.
Well that is all I have to report. I love you all and hope you all stay warm with the cold weather in Utah. The Gospel is true and it does bless lives!
Sincerely;
Elder Spencer Ariotti
