Information, Letters, and Pictures of Jacob while on his mission to Des Moines, Iowa
Monday, November 5, 2012
So this week is what I guess you would call a slow week. We had most of our appointments fall through which is typical of missionary life. We spent a lot of time trying to contact people who were not home. We also spent a lot of time trying to find new people to teach. But we were able to set up a few appointments and we are hoping to see the fruits of that work this week. There was a big stake meeting here last night and they announced that the ward boundaries are going to be changing. Starting next week we have lost half of our area. That means that all the Burmese that I have been teaching will be going to another ward. I will admit that I am a little, well more than a little bummed about that. I have really grown to love those kids and that culture. But I also know that it is the lord’s work and that there is a reason for this. Maybe I will get to serve in that new ward and get to be over there again. We were in what was called the Des Moines 3rd ward but now it is the Beaver Creek Ward.
There really is not much to talk about this week. We spent a lot and I mean a lot of time just trying to find people but I am excited for this week and the progress I foresee. We did have a baptism on Saturday. This couple moved into the ward we taught them for a few weeks now with the changes they are being moved back to the ward they used to be in. they are an awesome couple and I am excited to watch their progress over this week. The guy lost his job Wednesday and he told us that he knew that was the work of the devil trying to get him to not be baptized. Other than that we have a week ahead of us full of more finding and also working on the transition for switching the ward boundaries.
I want to take the chance here to wish my Mom a happy birthday. J if you get the chance you should email or call her and wish her a happy birthday this week. I love all of you and I thank you for your faith and prayers. My address has not changed you can still write me but some times it may take me a bit before I write you back. J talk to you next week.
