October 28, 2013 - Indianola, IA

Dear Family:

Well it has been another week in Indianola Iowa.  It has been a good week.  Hard but the end was good.  We had 3 less active families come to church tomorrow and that was just awesome to see them come and renew there covenants with the Lord.  One in particular really surprised us because she has not been planning on coming at all but she woke up and said I will go to church today.  Sadly we were not able to get a part member family to come because they were all exhausted from the night before.  But we did get them to come to the branch Halloween party on Friday and that was really good for them.  Especially with all the kids in the family, they were able to talk with the majority of the youth in the branch. 

Well as I am sure many have heard or seen mom got a picture and a text last night from a member in Indianola that we had done some service with.  It was funny because my companion asked what I think my mom would say to the text.  I thought about it and guessed she would say something about how happy I looked.  Well it came true.  I am now imagining everyone laughing as they read this email.

Well this next week is Halloween and we will be going in early for two nights and will also be going to a different area for exchanges.  It will be nice going to a different area for a few nights.  It gets to you when you have been working in an area for 3 months consecutively and have not been able to go to a different area for a few days.  It will be good.  Besides that it will be raining a lot and getting cooler as we go into November.

Well I love you all and the gospel is true!

Sincerely;
Elder Spencer Ariotti
