So I am now serving in a tripanionship with Elder Wood and Elder Cox. Being with 2 companions really changes the dynamics of missionary work. Elder Wood has been out for about 6 months. He spent most of his time so far just south of Peoria Illinois. He is from Spanish Fork Utah. Elder Cox just got out of the MTC. He is form Idaho Falls Idaho. Both are really good missionaries. Elder Cox will be with me until he gets his Visa to go to Brazil. He put in for it in September and is still waiting for it. It might come soon or it may take a while so we will just work hard until it comes. Not much has changes in the last week. We have 3 investigators who are working towards specific baptismal dates. One of them is guaranteed to be baptized the beginning of next month. She believes it is all true and is excited to be making thins step in her life. The other is a couple from Africa. They are struggling financially. Our last lesson was just about finances. I am so grateful that my dad taught me a little about that I actually knew what I was talking about most of the time and I was able to help them greatly. Not much else has changed. A lot of our time is knocking doors again. We are working diligently to find those who our father in heaven is preparing. This letter is going to be short because I have a couple siblings who I need to write back so I will end it here by thanking all of you for your faith and for your prayers. I love you all and I thank you for all that you do for me. -- Elder Jacob Gibson of the Iowa Des Moines mission
