August 3, 2009 Minnesota Missionary- that's me!

Hello Everyone,
Things are going pretty well here. This last week was pretty good, though it had its ups and downs. We were able to get a new investigator, her name is Sharon, an old lady. She is real nice and we had a good lesson about the Restoration with her. It was interesting how we found her. We were tracting an apartment building, knocked on her door and she didn't answer. So we continued on that floor knocking doors then she opens her door and hollers to us if we were knocking on her door. We said yes and that we're missionaries and she told us to come back in few days. That isn't something that happens too often..especially here in Detroit Lakes. But it was good and we hopefully will see her again this week.
Besides that nothing too eventful or crazy happened. We just did a lot of tracting and finding this week. Lots of which didn't turn out so well. But we're really focusing on working with the members. There's a family, the Valdez's, who are really friendly with the missionaries. We eat at their house every Sunday, and we were talking with them the other day about how the branch struggles with member referrals and actively pursuing their own missionary efforts. So yesterday when we saw them they told us they invited a part-member family over for dinner next Sunday! Its awesome, so we'll be able to share a lesson with them and hopefully get the ball rolling again on the husband. I think he's been taught before, but hopefully he's open this time.
That's about it for this week. This is the Lord's work and he will bless you for your efforts in it!
Love,
Elder Fitt
