Hello Everyone,
I hope all is going well with all of you. Things are going pretty good here. It was another slow week but we were able to make some good progress with investigators who we hadn't been able to get in contact with for a while.
On Tuesday we had Zone Conference in Fargo and that was a great experience. It was neat to have our first Zone Conference with President and Sister Layton. They're great, and gave really good trainings and helped us become better missionaries. Its amazing to see the mantle shift so perfectly. It really is a testimony to me of the divinity of this work and the truthfulness of the gospel. Not to get into politics, but whenever a new president takes office you see all these changes, insertions and deletions, whereas in the church when a new leader takes over its seamless. And thats because the Lord is in charge of the work and he's directing it.
We were able to attend the Branch Pioneer day picnic this week which was a lot of fun. Played some 'ladder golf' and some badminton(sp?) which was a lot of fun. We also got to mingle a lot with the youth, and there are a few mission-age priests, so hopefully we can help get them fired up to go.
Other than that we were able to do a lot of service this week around the community and the branch, which is always good. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary and serve the Lord in this capacity. I was able to give a talk yesterday in Sacrament meeting about Proclaiming the Gospel. It was a good experience, but isn't just the missionaries job, its everyones! But you all know that, so just keep praying for missionary experiences and the Lord will help you become a instrument in His hands.
Love,
Elder Fitt
