Hello Everyone,
We had a pretty good week this week. Unfortunately, I forgot my planner at the apartment...so I'll do my best to remember the good stuff that happened. We got to see a lot of people which was good. We were blessed to be able to go out with members a lot this week which was awesome.
A neat story. We have an investigator whose member daughter was moving from Bemidji to Detroit Lakes and she asked us to help unload the trailer when it go to their town, Perham, which is about 20 miles east of DL). Since its a good distance we needed a ride to take us. But it was in the afternoon and most people were working. So we got an idea to ask a certain member to come with us. He agreed and we went. Well when we got there we where going to follow them to the storage shed but the trailer had got a flat tire. The neat part was the member that we brought was the only person around who was able to fix the flat tire. If we didn't bring him it would've either taken a whole lot longer or we would not have been able to help them unload. So that was a big blessing. The Lord watches out for his children, thats for sure!
Oh ya, on Fridays we do service for the museum in town, and 2 Fridays ago the manager invited us to an event they were putting on. So that was cool. It was a catered dinner with a silent auction(ya we didn't bid on anything), then they showed a movie made about the logging history in the surrounding areas. Ya we aren't supposed to watch movies...but since missionaries never get to go to things like this and since the museum has been really kind to us we thought it would be alright to watch the film. It was only an hour and it was actually really interesting.
But ya, back to missionary work. Transfer calls came this saturday, I'm staying and my companion is getting transferred. I'm getting a new comp who I don't know so we'll see what he's like tomorrow. It'll be neat taking over the area, but nothing new.
We're looking forward to general conference coming up. Its always a great opportunity to invite investigators and less-active members to. We try our hardest to get everyone out. Its extra nice in branches because they gather together on sunday and have a potluck inbetween sessions, which makes for good fellowship for investigators.
But ya, we're still working hard to teach those we have. Hopefully the Perez family will get home this week so they can attend GC, that would be awesome.
But that's the report for now, I hope you all are doing great. The church is true!
Love,
Elder Fitt
