Hello Everyone,
I hope you all had a great week! Mine was pretty good, besides the constant -5 to -15 degree weather. First off, we had suprise transfer calls this week, and it was big suprise, they're moving me to a new mission! Ya just not really, I'm staying for another 7 weeks in Detroit Lakes, which is awesome because I didn't want to leave. My companion is staying too, so maybe we'll get white washed (both taken out and two new missionaries bought in) out next transfer, who knows. But I'm excited to stay. So feel free to write letters and send packages and stuff, I'll be here to open them and write back! Haha.
So we got to help Bob, a member's neighbor, string up a deer he shot for them. It was close to his yard where he got it(he lives out of town) so we didn't have to drag it far to hang it in tree near his home. We gutted it there then got had some hot chocolate to warm up! Ya I think I'll stick to pig hunting, its a lot less work for clean up.
We were able to make some good progress with our investigator Keith who seems to be really clicking with the idea of a prophet. Hopefully he is able to read the Book of Mormon in faith and pray sincerely and with real intent so the Spirit can witness to him that its true!
Well we had tri-zone conference this week in Bismarck and that was awesome. Its always nice seeing my missionary buddies. We were blessed to attend the temple in Bismarck again, and that was a wonderful experience. It was a two-day zone conference, so after the temple my zone stayed the night at a member's house in Bismarck. The next day we had our meetings and did a white elephant exchange. That was pretty funny, since there was at least 60 people in attendance, so there were some pretty funny gifts. We also had a nice Christmas program at the end of the conference. When we got back on Friday we had our branch Christmas party which was a lot of fun. Good food and a great turn out, which makes things even better.
One of the best things that happened this week was during church. The Perez family showed up! We were shocked. Because just a week ago we got a call from them saying they just got back from Mexico but are going back down to help their sick mother get better. They didn't know when they'd be back. But apparently they got home on Saturday and felt like they needed to come to church. It was awesome. And what made it even better was a certain member felt prompted to attend the gospel principles class we had with them and from that came a very choice experience.
It is such a blessing to be apart of this work. And though it has some tremendous difficulties and hardships, the Lord always lifts and blesses us with blessings that dwarf the negative experiences. He is there for us and his arms of mercy are always extended. It is just up to us to run to him.
I hope you all have a great week and are having luck in sharing the gospel with others!
Love,
Elder Fitt
