Hi yall I'm going to try and be as positive as possible and try smile today because I wrote a great letter to President and then had it all deleted and that made me real mad so :)
Dear President Jergensen
It was really nive to have our baptismal service on Saturday and to see that Tiffany's life is now changed for the better. I'm glad that Elder Ashworth was able to have that experience and to know that by the power of the priesthood that it was a valid baptism. Tiffany was confirmed in church and is on the Ward Focus to get her into full activity and get her the new-member lessons.
We did visit some less-active families this week and have seen some progress towards getting them into full activity. Sister M in the ward is going to be getting a divorce from her husband due to the reality of his charges and knowing that she has been lied to for awhile. She is expecting to be getting her kids ready for baptism once they can get back within the week.
We have had a little struggle trying to have follow up lessons with folks and so our teaching pool in a little down from what it has been. Some of our finding efforts includes looking up potential investigators and asking them for referrals and also just the standard tracting by street name and contacting people on the trail when it's now freezing cold outside. I like how Elder Ashworth is starting to ask more inspired questions when asking people about their beliefs and how we are a restored church. I see some improvement there especially with the teaching skills thanks to Elder Grow.
All is well in Bloomington we are going to try to set another baptismal date before transfers.

So I just want to say that I may only have one more letter here in Bloomington because we have transfer next week and I maybe headed out and saying PEACE to the Land of Lincoln. So I know that you are in the hospital right now mom but I just want to say that I fasted yesterday for ya and have had a pray for you every single night. I think that you've done enough in your life to fill that cantine of blessings from heaven to help you out with this surgery and road to recovery.
Funny that you mention Sister Whitaker because I saw her at the leadership training not to long ago I try to stay away from the siser missionaries out here because they aren't the brightest bunch. Sister Whitaker is actually the best from what I hear because she isn't so full of drama like the other ones. I wish that I could have been there for Taylor's farewell but er I guess the good thing about my situation is that I get to see everyone's homecoming and see the change that has occured in their lives because I know that if I were to go home right now I would not be doing the same stuff that I was with my friends.
Remember Drew Barrera my air force friend..... he is getting baptized by Devin during spring break.
Mom I love you and I love you all I know that the Lord will protect you and I will work hard this week
God bless from Bloomington Illinois Elder Gonzalez
