May 11, 2009 Hello From SD!

Hello everyone,
This past week was pretty good.

We were blessed to get a new investigator. His name is Donnie and he has been extremely humbled in the past few years by a lot of deaths in his family. So we were able to teach him at his friend's home about the Plan of Salvation and he really enjoyed it. This week we will get to teach the Restoration, hopefully it will go well. He wants to be baptized, so it is pretty exciting.

We have one young man still on date for baptism and 2 others who are praying for a date right now, so things are doing great.

Oh ya, Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there!

The weather is getting pretty nice here. But a little too hot...the other day it was 70 degrees and I could barely stand it! Its gonna be brutal once it gets into the 80's and 90's. Its crazy how that works.

Earlier today we got to help out at the mission home. The FM (facilities management) group of the church is totally remodeling it and we got to help a little bit. It was pretty fun, besides the part where we had to tear vinyl baseboard type things off the wall. That was pretty ridiculous. Our hands got pretty torn up because the adhesive was really strong. Then finally when we get to the last few feet of it, one of the workers comes down and says "do you guys want some scrapers for that" ...man they would've been nice to have earlier! But it was fun though. Afterwards the Cannon's (mission pres) brought some pizza and stuff, so it was good.

Besides that everything is going well. Not too much to report, its been a pretty normal week otherwise. Transfers are coming up in 2 weeks, which is scary because I might be transferred this time and not get to see some of the people that might have baptism dates after that. So hopefully I'll be blessed to stay another 6 weeks, Rapid is a really nice city.

Well I hope everyone is doing well and staying on top of their scripture study and member missionary work!

Love,
Elder Fitt
