Hi Dad,
No Email Today? Well things are going pretty good I guess. We dont have anybody progressing, and were not teaching the guy, I told you about last week anymore. Were really getting hit by the polygamists. His wife made him stop being taught because of it. when we came over he left a note on the door that said his wife told him not to meet with us because "she is stereotyping you because of the things surrounding the Poligamist thing"
Our other Baptism Dates missedd our apointment last week. Pretty much everyone we talk to thinks were the guys on the news, the poligmists, and we have to explain were not, but they dont even beleive it. You can see it in there eyes when they are thinking it, its like their looking at the most repulsive thing theyve ever seen. ITs sad but were not discouraged. I used to think jokes about bringing back polygamy and stuff were funny...I dont think so anymore.
I wrote grandpa a letter I hope he has it by now. Well I love you Dad.

Mom,
Everything is going pretty good, were working hard and staying busy, but we cant seem to be getting anybody to progress. We are not teaching anybody that was being taught before I got here. Ive never had very many dinner apointments on my mission, people here just dont feed us its sad. Hey Find out how much money the missionaries over there get every month.
Hey I need to know what my homecoming talk is going to be on. I really dont get much time to study whatever I want to, I usually study something for a meeting or for an investigator and I dont want to have to write it the night before, or the morning of.
We might be going to a BYU Idaho Symphony Band Concert this weekend. We may get roped into Ushering, but I really dont want to go, I dont see what it even has to do with missionaries. This reminds me of the 2 times they made Elder Jensen and I teach the music to the primary in the Jackson Branch. People keep getting us confused with the poligamists, you can see it in there eyes when their thinking it to. and the news people just call them the Mormon Sect, seems like they want people to think its us. Have you even heard about all this stuff, in Texas?
Anyway, they can't stop the work of the Lord.
Love you Mom,
Elder Joshua Jacobson

That is too bad about the poligamists. It is hard enough to get people to understand the gospel and now this probably just adds more coplexities. Well Josh still seems to have a positive attitude and doesn't seem down about it just discouraged.
