District Fiesta

Yo, what's up everyone!!  I hope you are doing good and I hope everything is good back home.  This week was a crazy, crazy week!

On Tuesday we were out working, and we got a text from a less active member and her husband we are teaching.  She said that she had just had a second major heart attack and that she is in the hospital again, so that was way hard to hear that it happened again.  So, we kept a good attitude and said a prayer for her.  She lives about 45 min away and so we were not able to go see her this week, but hopefully we can give her another blessing next week if we see her.  We were then going to eat with a member, who is awesome, and has fed the missionaries in Randers for a while.  We got there and he said that we actually did not have a dinner appointment and that he is not going to come to church any longer.  That was a punch in the gut too, Bam!!  But it's all good because we had another eating appointment on Friday and guess who came?? This member wanting to leave the church!!  We walked him home in the rain and I stopped him, and I said "Erick, how did you get a testimony and he thought about it a lot.  We talked about some really cool things for a while and it really helped him and it helped me too.  One thing you learn quickly on your mission is that you never know what will happen next and to expect just about anything.  

This week we had a district party and we got to go bowling and eat some burgers! We celebrated getting our baptism mission goal this year!  I love the Mission and even though it can be brutal at times, I know that God is always pushing me through.  I've had a lot of times where I've thought "Why am I out here?" And something will always happen that will remind me why. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and I know this Church is true!! I’ve got a challenge for everyone this week…. I want you all to read just a chapter in your Book of Mormon and try and pray every day and see how much happier you feel by the end of the week….  I know it will help!! I love you all and I'd love to hear from you so shoot me a quick email!! 

Love, 

Ældste Fisher
