I forgot to mention that a County here, Stark County, with Toulon in it, used to be super anti Mormon. 30 or so years ago it was illegal for a church member to stay over night there...
It was a good week. A lot of meetings.. we had New Missionary Training on Tuesday and we went to Bolingbrook the night before to sleep over there so we wouldn’t have to wake up too early They got a new apartment so that is nice for them. I went in the old apartment last year...
The mission is going more hardcore on online proselyting. Some new resources came out including something called “How do I fulfill my purpose” that is actually replacing chapter 8 in Preach My Gospel including the Weekly Planning. So that is fun. We tried it a bit this week.
We were motivated to give 4 copies of the Book of Mormon on Wednesday as that was a goal that we could shoot for and we gave out 5 after District Meeting. We only had 3 at 8pm but we saw a potential and went there and found some cool people there.
Also, we taught a person named Faith about faith. So that was fun.
General Conference was good! It was interesting when the last Speaker, Elder Anderson, included things from each session and talked about how Elder Hales died 3 hours before. So I guess they will be calling a new
apostle soon. I wonder who it will be.
Oh yeah, we were finally able to meet with Jon Jon, one of our investigators. He actually brought a friend with him, so that was awesome. Haha, it was a bit stressful just before that going through literally every active male member in Kewanee and some less actives to see if they could pick him up. The last person could.
The friend, Shareef, wants to be baptized after we talked about what it is. That’s cool.
I know that the gospel is true and that Jesus really loves us. In the name of Christ, amen.
Love,
Elder Kloosterboer

| My area compared to the Salt Lake Valley (same scale) (Blue = Less Active, Black = Active, Light Gray = Former, Dark Gray = Potential, Yellow = New Investigator, Red = Other Investigator, Green = Progressing Investigator) |

| New Area Book! It will be better and worse for different things! (No more less active marking...) |

| Mobile Device Standards - looks like part of a missionary handbook. |
