Blessings From On High

Note from the editor:

OK before I go into Brandon's letter.......I am getting the blog done very early because its a holiday Monday and i don't have to wait till after work to do it. (This wont be the norm from now on)  This blog is a King Lamoni story in a smaller scale. Read the story in the Book of Mormon. (Alma chapter 17,18,19) The missionaries go into an area with no investigators, teach the king and because everyone knows the king many are taught. Like I said in a smaller scale though) Also a great story of the Lord providing for his servants. Note whenever you see some brackets (..........) that's my comments

Enough of me ......No on to Elder Fisher's letter.

Hey there everyone.

I love the idea of the retro photo each week. (We are starting to send Elder Fisher pictures of the kids way back, funny pictures that may had been forgot...1 or 2 each email) Still haven't got a camera but I'll look for one today.

This week was a pretty good week. We had a lot of people at church on Sunday. Still working with Martin and Steph. They will take some time to progress because of the many concerns but they are doing good and are still feeding us. Most of our investigators that we are teaching right now came from them. They seem to know everyone. We met a less active through them and she's trying to turn her life around. She came to church and really enjoyed it and she's reading her scriptures like crazy. We have other really good potential investigators as well that we are trying to set appointments with. Many of them are busy. We managed to meet one this week finally named Dean. He approached us on the street! It was like two months ago but we finally got in contact with him. We later found out that he knows Steph. He wants to become a missionary and asked what he had to do. We told him we could help him but he's moving to Australia soon. Hopefully we can teach him everything before then and if not the missionaries in Australia will have to take care of him. 

We have a pretty busy week planned ahead of us. The past couple of weeks have gone by fast. This area is starting to come alive. Hopefully I can walk fast enough...

We went to the Davanzo's this week for the second time. They are members within our ward boundaries but they go to a different ward so we decided to get to know them. They are super nice! They love to feed us. After we left their house we got a call from them. 

-Sister Davanzo said "Elder Fisher how many pairs of shoes do you have?" 

-I said "One good pair."

-"And I'm guessing they're not the ones you were wearing today are they?"

-"Actually they are."

-"Come back to our house as soon as you can."

After the appointment we had at the time we stopped by on the way home. They gave me two new (hardly used) pairs of shoes and £30 to buy another pair. They didn't notice my busted camera though...

Please continue to have fun and I'll talk to you next week!
