Dear Family:
Well it has been another week in Davenport Iowa. We did have a lot of clouds over our head and some rain but we got no snow. We did hear that a lot of areas in the northern part of the mission got hit really hard. Up to a foot in some areas we hear. But all is well with Davenport. We should be warming up a lot more this next week. We had the great opportunity to hear from Elder Neal Anderson of the quorum of the 12. We also had Elders Reall, Dube and Clayton. We had great revelation given to us and we felt the spirit greatly during that meeting. I was also able to find out that one of my good friends from Bountiful is in the mission now. She is being trained now by a missionary sister that I have served around a lot in my mission.
Well in other news we had to drop two of our investigators because they were not interested in what we had to share. It is always sad to have to drop investigators but they have there agency. Sometimes I want to say goodbye to agency but I think then of what a blessing it really is and how it has helped me in so many ways. We are still doing good with our golden investigator. We are seeing if we can move his baptism date to a sooner day so that we can have him count for the month of May. President Jergensen has set for the month of May the goal of 100 baptisms and we need to make sure that it is accomplished. On the other hand we have a teenager investigator that is having a hard time. We feel that it is because she has no people that she knows in the Ward. This is the same investigator that failed her baptism interview. Her Grandma told us that she is thinking of stopping meeting with us and not even getting baptized. We talked with the young women and they said they will try to fellowship her into going to church. We are hoping that it will help her.
Other then that we are just working on trying to contact potential investigators. We are always trying to work hard and leave our area better then when we had found it. One of the Elders that had served in Davenport before stayed with us for a night before saturday and said that he liked how we were improving the area. However we were just told that the Bishop wants us to get up to 40 lessons a week. The highest a missionary has ever gotten in the mission is 31. This will be fun. Love you all!
