Hello Everyone,
This week was slowwww, but at least we had General Conference to make up for it. It was so good, like always, and I think it gets better every year. All the talks were great, and I especially enjoyed President Monson's address in the Sunday morning session. What a blessing it is to be able to listen to the prophet of God and to hear his counsel. I hope we all take the messages we heard to heart and apply them in our lives.
So I got my new companion this week, Elder Kurzhals (its German) from Arizona. He's an interesting guy with a really genuine demeanor. We're getting along well. We got a lot of promises this week from people to attend General Conference...but guess what? None seemed to show up. Ya it was a little discouraging but, thats what happens in missionary work.
Anyway, we're still pressing on with the work here. The flu has been going around and basically all of our investigators have been sick, cool right? Not really, it was a slow week since we didn't get to see many people but we're going to be focused on finding this week and hopefully we can get some new investigators to help fill our teaching pool. The weather has been interesting here. Since Tuesday last week we haven't seen the sun. Its been cloudy and rainy and in the 40's, which I'm not complaining about but its pretty wild since 2 weeks ago it was in the 80's. Apparently there was a snowstorm in Casper, Wyoming last week so we might get that soon or we're just getting part of the cold front that is moving through this part of the states.
Well that's about it for this week. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is a huge blessing in my life to be a missionary serving my God and fellow man. I pray that each one of us can and will be blessed with missionary opportunities where we can help others feel that tremendous, perfect love our Father in Heaven and his Son Jesus Christ has for us. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Fitt
