The beginning of this week went by really fast but then the weekend slowed down a lot. There were some really high points and some really low points. The work seems to have slowed down but I know part of that is because we need to work harder. We will have a baptism this week. It will be the first one the branch has had in a couple years. I am excited for it. We are going to have an area conference broadcast at the church on Sunday then the baptism will be after that. Many missionaries have worked really hard to help her reach this point and I am grateful that we have this chance to help her reach it. Other than that we are doing all we can to work hard and press the work forward. We have a few people that we are teaching but we are always looking to expand our teaching pool. We are spending a lot of time door knocking and talking to people. I will let you all know that the more effective way is threw the members so talk to all of your friends about the gospel and help them to learn and to grow. I have also decided that I could never live full time in Idaho or Utah. I love sharing the gospel. The Midwest needs as many strong members as it can get. I am not saying I will move back here I am unsure of what the lord has planned for me but I just hope to be somewhere where I can strengthen the church and help the missionaries. Anyway things are going well. We kept hearing all week about this massive snow storm that we where to get and then it ended up only being 6-7 inches. But we may get something again this week so we will see. Either way I am excited for this week we have a lot of really cool things planed and I feel like we will have the chance to find many new people to teach. Both my companions are doing well. They are hard workers and I am learning a lot from them. I love you all. I am so grateful for the gospel and for the chance that I have to be a part of all of this. Thank you all for all that you do for me. -- Elder Jacob Gibson
