Sept 25

Dear people,

I am glad to hear that D loved the car and the letter. I am not sure if I have an address for C and K. I have an address but I think I got that before they bought a house. So I figured it would be good to send it to Mom and Dad's home.

This week was busy. We did not reach any of our goals this week. We got close to a lot of them. I feel like we did our best. We had 8 team ups, all to see investigators but the appointments didn’t pull through. We had 3 committed investigators at one point this week but things happened and they were dropped. New investigators? We fell short of 2. There was probably more we could have done there. We lost at least a whole day in preparation for a training we gave to the district leaders and also for a coordination meeting with the stake president. It took us a while to get all of the info. Regardless there was probably something more we could have done to find 2 more new investigators.

So the 2 girls who were going to get baptized on the 1st, L and S, have both been dropped on account of their parents, who are taking them back to their old church. Our next goal is to start meeting with the parents and teach the whole family. I really hope we get to teach them. I love those little girls.

So ya, this week we had a marathon of planning, split team-ups, and dropped appointments. I know that we will yet find some one to teach and to baptize.

As for my birthday......... no clue. I guess it would be awesome if I could just take a rain check till after I get home, because I am sure there will be things there at home that I will need/want more then here. I pretty much have every thing I need here, except Investigators. That's it! For my birthday find me some one in Cleveland TN (Bradly county and Polk county TN) who will get baptized! That would be awesome!

Well, hope all is well on!
