Sounds like
you had a good week and that you have been keeping busy with everything. I also
have sent pictures this week in a separate email.
I have had
a good week this week and it has been a good transfer. The transfer calls will be this Saturday and
transfers are next Tuesday. I do not think I will be transferred but I really
have no idea what will happen. I can’t
believe my birthday is in 3 transfers. It is weird I will be 19 in just a
little over 4 months!!!! I am getting old.
We were
able to meet with our investigator this week and it was good. He has interest in learning the gospel but he
studies lots of other religions and we are looking for a way to help him keep
him focused and to want to read and study.
We think that "cliff hanger" idea of teaching might be a good
idea. We also found three new
investigators this week. They are super nice
people from Syria. They said that they
will read the Book of Mormon and they are really trying to learn from us I
think. We already had one lesson with them and it went really well.

What I like
about Annaberg is the ward--it is probably one of the best wards in Germany or
our mission so I have heard. The members are super nice and trying to always
help us. This week we ate at a members’ house and they made beef steaks for us
because they said that was very American and that pork steaks are the normal
steaks that they eat. I was really
grateful for that food, it was so good. We
didn't do anything to celebrate Pioneer Day here but there are plenty of other
things that the ward does to celebrate the random things that happened in
history.

At our last
zone conference, the sister missionaries serving in Halle (my last area) told
me the weather in Halle has been hot and rainy.
The
language is coming well---I think in German usually before I think in English
most of the time now--it is really interesting but freaky at the same time.
I study a
lot from Ensigns in my free time (20
minutes in morning, lunch break, dinner break, and after 9:30) and a lot of
articles are concerning education and/or written by people highly educated, and
it has helped me to realize the value of an education and makes me have a
desire to have a goal of a Ph.D. some day. It is interesting what a mission
helps me realize.

Mission
life is good, a little trying at times but nothing a prayer and rethinking of
my purpose can't fix. I am trying to be
a better person everyday. My district leader
gave a quote the other week which is: "hard happens...awful is
optional" and then said that he hasn't had a day on the mission which he
didn't enjoy, and I think I can honestly say the same thing because there is
always a small miracle or a thing I read that makes the day or everything worth
it.
Scripture
for the week Ether 12:26: "And when I had said this, the Lord spake
unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient
for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;"
Quote of
the week: "Whate'er thou art, do well thine part" David O. McKay
Next time I
email you, I will be in my 5th transfer and Connor will be 3 years old. That is
weird. Time goes by so fast it is ridiculous. I love you and wish you the best.
I hope that you have a great week and
enjoy the summer weather before it gets cold again.
Love
Elder Fisher
