HEy Family!
So things are going good out here. This Last week was transfers. Elder Weathersby is my new companion. It has been pretty fun. WE had zone conferance yesterday that is why i didn't email you. Sorry i forgot last week to tell you i had so many other things on my mind and didn't even think about it. WE Learned alot about working with members and how we can help them to do missionary work. I am really excited for this new program that we are starting to do. I can't wait to see how the work picks up and starts to move along. WE only have one real progressing investigator his name is "investigator joe" he is married to a member. We set him this past week for baptism during general conference. He has some really good concerns and is just waiting to have a spiritual experience. I cant wait to see how he progresses and starts to make progress. We dont have any other invesigators that are moving along. We are really close to dropping the other invetigators. WE havn't had any luck with finding a new investigator in the past couple of weeks. Its been really hard to get things moving here. I am sort of frustrated with it. I feel like i get put in these areas where there is nothing going and its up to me to get it moving along again. This area used to be a really good area. a missionary was here for seven months and had seven baptisms. He had really good social skills and could get along with anyone. I feel like the investigators that he was teaching here were more intersted in having a friend ship with him and not real interested in the church. I could be wrong but that is what i have felt so far. Dont worry about the helicopters we are to busy to play with them anyways. But thanks for doing that for me. I saw some pictures of the draper and the other temple." I dont know how to spell it" I got onto the churchs website and saw what they looked like. I dont need anything. I should be good till the end of my mission. I would like a peanute butter egg and iam sure elder weathersby would too. If possible get two extras because of the university elders. TEll grandma thanks. It was elder Westover that wanted the peanute butter egg recipe. Way to go dad on the pop I havn't had any candy sinse halloween. And i actually gave up pop a week ago so iam now doing pretty good with that. Dad now that you have some free time maybe you can finish reading the book of mormon? I am in Alma ch.34 and this is my third time on my mission. This saturday we might be doing a 5k run for a member that was in the singles ward that died a while ago. I will let you know how it goes. That would be cool to have a wii i really like them. I Had a blast the one time that i played it. The boxing game on it is really fun. Oh When i was in lynchburg i was teaching a Part member family and had them set for baptism when i left. The guys name was "Baptisee". Well they got baptized last transfer. I saw there name in a mountineer. like you said you never know what kind of seeds you are sowing in the areas you sserve. Well that is mainly it I love you all and miss you guys so much have a good week. Bye Love ELder Cory alan Downward.
