| These are some pics. Of my shoes. I polished them yesterday just before church so the tops look okay. (Besides the heavy wrinkles in the leather) It's the soles that are funny! I still have another pair of shoes. Just thought I'd send you pics of the most worn-out ones. |

| this is my tie collection. I'm not sure how many there are.. I think there are about 30+ ties. I came out with exactly 15. I have very few, of the original 15. |

In Ohio I've always been told; if you don't like the
weather, wait 5 minutes it'll change. This is a very true concept here in
the Ohio. I've never seen weather change so quick!
Funny thing is Spanish work is dependent on the
weather. When the weather is dark and rainy, it's the best time to go out
to teach. Why? Most of the people we work with do
construction. When it's raining its perfect time to go and teach
them! Today it's pretty rainy, so we have high hopes as we start the week
tonight. This thought reinforces what I learned growing up.... Always
pray for rain!
We're still working with Jose and his family. I don't
know if I mentioned in last week's letter that he's looking for a job. We
weren't able to meet with him this week, because he was working. We were
happy for him to be out working, but it's still tough when we aren't able to
teach him.
These next two weeks are fairly big weeks in the
mission. This week we'll be having Zone Conferences. Both Dayton and
Dayton East Zones will be there. The Dayton East Stake Conference is this
Sunday, and Elder Nielson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be
attending. The Huber Heights Ward is extremely excited for this!
We'll be able to attend since we also cover the Huber Heights Ward. (The
Dayton Spanish Branch falls into the Dayton Zone. Dayton Stake Conference will
be in the first weeks of December)
Then the following week will be transfers. This time
the transfer will fall on Tuesday rather than a Thursday, to accommodate for
Thanksgiving. I highly doubt I'll be transferred. I expect Elder
Clay to stay here as well. He's only been here for 4 1/2 months. The
average trend is to stay in an area for 6-7 months. We both are expecting
to stay here.
I love you, all lots. Hoping all is well back
home. Remember, pray for rain! But not too much!
Para Siempre,
Elder IpsonThe Great Ohio Columbus Mission
