We are trying our best!

Here is a sort-of 'half letter' from Dan this week.  Not sure what happened to the rest of it, but here it is!  He had sent us some of his correspondence from his MP, but that doesn't need to be here on his blog.

Hello Everyone!

So Pekin is moving right along not many happy things are going on but we are trying our best. Jacob has officially been denied baptism at this point and we are praying that his dad’s heart will be softened and that he will join Jacob in the waters of baptism, this would be a true miracle at this point and we are really having to rely on the lord.  Nick and Kyle, two of our other investigators, are still dragging their feet.  Neither will read the Book of Mormon while we are not there.
On the up side we found another 10 year old who we can teach, hopefully.   Her name is Destiny and we tracted into her the other day and she seems really promising. Her mother, "not interested", wants her daughter to choose a church for herself and go as devotedly as possible. They said they would come to church in the near future and see if they like it or not.
I am doing really good-- no real illness or sickness, just allergies setting in for the season.

Laura/Bryan: Wow buddy sounds like you have been through a bunch in the past few days. hope your arm gets better soon so that you can go and have lots of fun with your daddy and mommy and siblings.
Michelle: Sounds like you are in the best part of the growing up stage right now with little Jayden, Can I get some pictures of his bumps and bruises? And of course of the other kids.
