Well fall is in full swing here in
Iowa and there is nothing we can do about it!!!! The Trees are red and yellow
the corn is brown and the beans are being harvested every which way we look. In
short winter is around the corner and it is going to be a BAD one the summer
was SOOO mild that the ground never really warmed up and the snow will pile
deep and the wind will BLOW and BLOW and BLOW with nothing here to stop it.
This winter is going to be comparable to last if not worse is what everyone is
saying. I am not looking forward to January to say the least! :)
On the plus side I stayed in
DAVENPORT!!! and so did Elder Bennion!!!! the Cowboys be kicken' it for another
7 weeks and probably 3 months!...!!! The Sister's in our ward got pulled though
and that is a VERY SAD thing :( They were very much loved and appreciated in
the Ward and in the District and in the Zone they were super funny and always
had a smile even if the work was horrible for them and all of that stuff they
always helped us "lousy Elders" put on a smile! We really will miss
them with the work here they were teaching between 30 and 40 lessons a week to
people so it will be hard for the other elders in the ward to take over their
shoes, they are taking over the sisters area and we are taking over their area
slowly! in short we now have ALL of the ghetto in our ward..!! Hooray for areas
that have shooting pretty much every week! Yeah... we love it south of Locust
Street! (don't worry mom we are always safe and protected)
J**** and K**** were handed off to
the other elders this week and they are still going to be teaching them even
though it is "our area now" it is good for them this way anyway. we
will just start teaching less actives in their area and the members and
slowly start finding people over there!
A* Is doing alright there have been
some recent advancements in our knowledge of him that are going to make it much
harder for us to baptize him but on the plus side The ATONEMENT is REAL and
nothing can not be overcome by it no matter how serious the addiction or the
surgery, PS he goes in for pre-op tomorrow so prayers for him between now and
the 10th would be greatly appreciated and for us to know how to help him get
over this "minor" hiccup that we have encountered with him. This is a
new one for me and Elder Bennion so pray for us!
We acquired a couple of
investigators from the Sisters that we gave them in our area, She is a single
mom so we were trying to make it easy for them to teach them. Her name is L****, and she has a Daughter that is almost 8 and so we
have a date set with them for the 24th of January so they can be baptized
together and they are set on that idea! The daughters name is A******* and she
has a son who is 3 (looks like he is 6, he is like 80 or 90 pounds) his name is
J******* yes there are three m's in it, it is SUPER COOL!
D***** is doing alright her hernia
is so unpredictable we have to find out Sunday morning if she feels good enough
to come to church or not. It really does stink and that is the end of it.
We have had 5 babies born in the
ward in the past 4 weeks and 3 of them got blessed last Sunday and we felt the
influx of people and then we felt the absence of those people this week. it was
kinda empty and the congregation was REALLY a lot smaller.
This transfer is gonna be crazy we
have interviews with president and a mission tour by a seventy it is gonna be
super fun and REALLY intense that is FOR SURE! By the way it is Elder Carlos A.
Godoy that is coming he spoke at conference in Portuguese!
Well all is well on this front of
the battle field. hope all is well over there,
Elder Daniel Keeley
