Dear Family:
Well it has been a very good week in Davenport. Our golden investigator Harold Briceland was baptized on the 31st of May and confirmed on the 2nd of June. It was very fun to see that happen for us. It was a little bit scary at first because we got to the church a little late so we were behind on filling up the font. The font normally takes about 7 hours so we need to us a hose which takes it down to 2 and a half hours. Well we were behind on getting there so we had to haul buckets of water in between the font and the kitchen to get it filled on time. We did so for about an hour. Me and Elder Bankhead were very exhausted by the time the baptism started and we were grateful to get it done. After the baptism Harold said he felt 100%. This is what it feels like to be baptized.
Other then that we had a normal week. On Thursday I was in Rock Island doing exchanges and we heard the tornado sirens. Aparently there was a tornado in Illinois close by. There was also some strong winds and rain and we were walking in it for about 2 minuits and we were soaked. There were power lines that fell down in Davenport and it caused a lot of the down town area to be without power. So that was exciting.
Well we got the calls and I will be transfered. Elder Bankhead was playing with me for a little bit and made me think that he was leaving. But transfers are on Thursday and all I know is that I am being transfered. I will really miss this area. There are a lot of good people here in this area. But it is time for me to move on.
Love you all!
Elder Spencer Ariotti
