Yeah, I am not sure why Elder Willis and I went co-senior. It really doesn't make any logical sense, and it seems like there were other transfer plans in place that got changed. But that's just my guess. But we work together well and we are seeing a decent amount of success.
Our investigators right now aren't progressing very well. We have one investigator that is still good, but she won't come to church until the end of March (long story). I am pretty certain that she will get baptized shortly after coming to church, but sadly, I will probably be out of Iwamizawa by then.
We actually set a baptismal date with one of our investigators this past week! But the next time we went to meet with her, she told us she no longer wanted the Book of Mormon and she no longer wanted us to come meet with her. So that was no fun. It seems like I have had a lot of experiences like that here in Iwamizawa. There are so many people with potential, but Satan works on them and they drop from our investigator pool for one reason or another.
But I did hear some good news this past week. Elder Crompton is an elder that transferred from Toyohira to Asahikawa this past transfer. When I was talking to him this past week, he mentioned something about Brother Nakajima, the golden investigator that I found and baptized when I was in Sapporo. Well, he is still way active, and last transfer he performed the baptism of an investigator that Elder Crompton had. So I have officially baptized someone who baptized someone else! The fruits of my labors are spreading!
This past week we had a lot of ups and downs, but I am still plugging along. Tomorrow we get to go to Asahikawa for Zone Conference. Elder Aoyagi of the Seventy is visiting, and every senior companion gets to have a 10 minute interview with him. No one knows quite what the interviews will be about, but we are all excited...except Elder Willis, he isn't too excited to have an interview in Japanese. But I am sure it will be a great experience.
I love you all. Thank you for all of your love, letters, and everything else. Have a great week.

PS - Myldsmail is getting changed. Google will now be hosting it! That means it will be more reliable and probably have a bigger inbox (I hope). My new address is "dallinc@.........com" (I can't remember the exact ending). In 15 days, my current address will be disabled and all emails will need to be sent to the new address.
This actually presents a problem: we can no longer email in Iwamizawa. Our email spot (the library) has blocked the new email site and we can't access it. So I will email next week, and hopefully have good news then. But if not, you may no longer receive emails from me.
