| Leaves changing colors in western Germany |
It's fall… I see the colors changing on the trees…but it is actually a
little colder than fall. Actually, I
would say because it was below freezing Sunday and we had to scape ice off our
car windshield yesterday I would say it is more like winter. There will be a
little bit of snow it sounds like but nothing too crazy I do not think.
The work is going but it could be better at times. No big complaints
though. In this area we are able to contact a lot of people like less actives
and former investigators that I wasn't really able to do in my other areas. The
Bad Bentheim branch meets in a church building (compared to rented office space
like in Halle). As for branch
leadership, we only have branch council once a month and we are always there. The leaders are pretty good about helping
with most things we do.
We use members and sports to contact people and the sports we play are
basketball and soccer.

| Visiting the border of Germany & The Netherlands |
 |
| Elder Fisher is showing his obedience to mission rules: He is NOT stepping over the border and out of mission boundaries |
On P-days we sometimes go places, like last week we visited the border
of The Netherlands since it is one of the borders of Bad Bentheim.

Germany celebrates Oktoberfest but is not really a very big deal where
I am at and most of the parties for Oktoberfest are in September here.
Thanks for the story about me--I really enjoyed it especially since
this story told me I am the only child that was early. Even when I was a
newborn I was early for everything. I
did get the package from “Z” and I told him that last week. I am picking up the
box from you tomorrow because they gave me a slip today that I can pick it up
on Tuesday at 10 am.
Scripture for the week: 1 Nephi 14:7: “For the time cometh, saith the
Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children
of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the
other—either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the
deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their
minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction,
both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of
which I have spoken.”
Quote for the week: "hey Jack!" Uncle Si
Love you and thanks for all the support that you give me and how much
you love me. Have a great week.
Love
Elder Spencer Fisher
