This week was a really slow week. Like I said in my last letter elder Clarke was here on Monday. It was a really amazing meeting and there were a lot of things there that we all needed to hear. Because it is a holiday week there was a lot that we usually do that was not able to get done. Elder Deering and I have been trying to work our hardest but with little success this week. We lost a lot of investigators when we did the recent ward split and so we are building from scratch. But God wants his children to be able to return to him and I know there there are people who have been prepared we just have to find them. The work continues to be really slow and there have been a few of the people that we were teaching that have seemed to just disappear. One lady seems to just have abandoned her house she left her outside lights on but they eventually just burned out. And then there are a few others that have not been home. But I know there is light around the corner we just have to keep looking for it. The lord will bless us for our diligence. There is a lot of stuff that we have planned this week that will get things going once again here in this ward. Christmas is around the corner and if you have not visited Mormon.org recently I would advise it. It is a great place to send people to learn more about Christmas and about the church. We hope to be setting a few baptismal dates here soon. I know the lord is willing and ready to bless us. We just have to do our part to be in the right place at the right time. We can do that if we listen to the spirit. I love all of you. I am so grateful for all that you do for me and for all of your love. I thank you for your letters and for your encouragement. I pray for you. Thank you. I know that this church is true. I am able to see the lord had in the work that is done. I know the book of Mormon to be true and I know that the lord is willing and ready to bless all of us we would just obey. Again I love you all.
