Information, Letters, and Pictures of Jacob while on his mission to Des Moines, Iowa

my letters will be more intresting starting next week. i will find a way to make that happen.
This week as been a really up and down week. A guy who was baptized while I was here is no longer willing to talk to anyone from the church. People who we have been teaching have again disappeared. It has been cold and wet and we have been on bikes. But we have also had many miracles. We have been given more people to teach and more to do. We have had opportunities to serve more people and the spirit has been directing the work for us.
I am so glad that I have this precious time to be a missionary. I love it. Although times have been hard the lord has been blessing us. I have been growing to love the people we teach more and more. Although I will not be here to see much of the end results for the work I am doing now I will hear about it and I am excited for what is to come. On that note I am 100% sure that I will be transferred 2 days after Christmas. The post office is closed on Christmas and Christmas Eve. If you want to send me something do it this week or send it to my mission office. 8515 Douglas Ave 50322.
So like I said earlier the lord is blessing us here. We have a lot of appointments this week and we are looking forward to setting up a few more. People think that just because they have disappeared they can hide but we have ways to find them. J The Christmas season is a great time to share the restored gospel with all those you meet. It is an exciting time of year. There is free music on Mormon.org/Christmas it is good, get it and share it.
We have been using a lot of our time trying to talk to people who for one reason or another have not been to church in a while. I will say there are some angry people out there but the lord has been blessing us in our trials. I love this work so much. It is hard and frustrating and annoying and people mock you and hate you, but it is the most rewarding thing anyone could ever do.
I love all of you. This work moves forward, become a part of it in any way you can. I know that this church is true. The Holy Ghost has spoken to me and told me this. I love you all and I thank you all for all of your faith and for your prayers.
