It's March in South Dakota (and everywhere else too!)

Hello Everyone,
We had a pretty awesome week in Watertown, I hope you all had good weeks. First off we're healthy so we've been able to work, what a blessing that is! We've been able to work a lot with less-actives and members and have been having a lot of success. Its exciting to meet with these people and try to get them back and active in the church. Its a blessing to be a missionary because the less-active members seem to allow missionaries into their homes a lot more than members of their branch because we don't know them and don't have and prior opinions of them. So it allows us to get into places where the members can't.
Next we were able to do a lot of finding this week and we got a lot of people who said we can come back and have a lesson with them so we're way excited about that. I've been praying hard that they their hearts will be open to the promptings of the Spirit and actually let us inside their homes when we visit them again.
Also, its been warming up here!!! Its been 30+ degrees for the past few days and boy has it been nice. Some of the snow is melting and the sun is warm, boy am I ready for spring. Though I am grateful for the cold...because generally it means the summers are as dang hot. You can always put on more layers...but can't keep taking them off, especially as a missionary. Those missionaries in Mexico and South America and such are studs dealing with that heat.
Yesterday we had stake general priesthood meeting and the stake president shared a neat story about his brother and his brother's wife. They were in a laundromat, around 11pm, washing their clothing and all of the sudden two men ran in with guns pointed at them. They ordered the couple to get on the floor and put their hands behind their back. There had been reports of two men doing armed robberies followed by other atrocious and despicable acts. Well one of the men very briefly put his gun on the floor to check the wife's purse and the brother felt the Spirit whisper to him "you need to act now or else you will soon lose the ability to act." So he grabbed the gun that the man set down and had a gun battle with the other man, killing him, while the unarmed one ran out the door. The stake president told us this story to illustrate the point that the Priesthood is the power and authority to act and that as members and missionaries we have that ability. We are not in a position where we are unable to act. What a blessing it is to be able to help those around us and bring them closer to the Savior. I'm grateful for the opportunity that I have to act out here in the name of the Savior to help bring souls to safety. I testify that this work is true! Hopefully I'll be able to get as worn out as my shoes are at the moment...the tread has been gone for the past several months!
Well I don't have any crazy personal stories that has happened this week, but just the continuing conviction that Christ is leading this work and the Spirit is constantly directing us and whispering what we should do. It is such a blessing to have that guidance, because I know I couldn't do any of this without it. I am also grateful for a companion who listens to the Spirit and takes over when it stops whispering to me and starts whispering to him. It is so important to be worthy of that Spirit and I try harder every day to qualify for it more and more.
I hope you all are doing well and are reading and praying and asking Heavenly Father for opportunies to share the gospel. This church is true and it brings such joy to my soul.

Love,
Elder Fitt
