Dear Family:
Well it has been a cold last few days in Iowa! That is why this email is a little bit late. Yesterday it was at about -4 all day and the wind chill made it about -30. So we were told to stay inside most of the day and be careful. The times that we did walk around outside were not for very long. The cold here can only be explained one way: Bone chilling. Good thing it is a little bit warmer today. But it will only last for a little while. We are going to reach 30 by Thursday which sounds like heaven. It has definitely been colder then last year.
Well I bet you are all wondering where I am right now. I only moved down south about 30 miles from Indianola to a place called Chariton. It is a little town of about 4,000 people. It is part of a large ward that meets in Osceola. Takes about 30 min to go to church but it is all good. My new companion is Elder Croxall. He is from Nevada and has been out for about 3 months now. He is about as quiet as I was when I first started. We will see if I can bring him out of his shell a little bit.
Well the work is going pretty well here. They had a baptism two weeks ago to an 18 year old. They have a large group of people that we are teaching which is good. We don't have a lot of members that live in town, which is a little hard. We don't get fed a whole lot but when we do, I hear It is good.
Well that is about it. I am looking forward to my last few weeks in the mission field. It will be sad to leave Iowa but it is time for me to move on with life. Love you all! Stay warm!
Sincerely;
Elder Spencer Ariotti
