I am doing good over here and the work is going good. I am enjoying everything for the most part, we
had a couple of slow weeks but the next few weeks look like they will be better
though. The bishop of our ward here gave us a referral this weekend and will be
giving us another one here pretty soon, and another member also wants to give
us a referral to teach as well, so that is very exciting for this area,
especially since it is a lot of smaller towns and normally harder to get ward
members to refer people for us to teach or to even go by on.

| Baptism day |
We had a baptism on Saturday so that was pretty good. The baptism was
for a 10 year old Greek child whose father started coming back to church and he
wanted us to start teaching his son. He was baptized by his father and he is
really happy to be baptized and a member of the church. He also told us that
when he gets older, he wants to serve a mission in England.

| Baptism day--with the Elders |
My companion and I are doing fine, we think we might stay together for
a third transfer and he will send me home, but we will find out in a week what
happens. For p-day we will be enjoying Lauenburg and meeting with our new
convert as well.
We did not have any eating appointments this past week, we had two
exchanges with missionaries though so we were still very busy. For one of the
exchanges, the elder that I worked with took 8 years of French and started
learning Arabic before he came out on his mission, so that was cool to learn
about.
Companion study we pretty much plan our appointments for the day. For
personal study I read in the Book of Mormon then prepare a lesson that I have
to give every week at district meeting. I studied a lot about prophets this
past week and that was really interesting. That was really nice of you to have
the sisters and the investigator over for dinner, I am sure that they
appreciated that very much, and I am sure that you and dad will know the
missionaries a lot more during his time as a bishop.
The weather is turning cold, and I am not overly ecstatic about it
getting cold either. I miss the California weather for fall and winter
sometimes, to be completely honest. Yes the weather does look like it will be
getting colder as well, which I am not overly excited about, since we are
riding our bikes most places now.
Scripture of the week Helaman 16: 23
“And notwithstanding the signs and the wonders which were wrought among
the people of the Lord, and the many miracles which they did, Satan did get
great hold upon the hearts of the people upon all the face of the land.”
Quote of the week: "Do it" Spencer W. Kimball
Thank you for the pictures that you send, I really do enjoy them even
when I do not say that every week. I do not really have too much else to say but I hope that you have a
good week.
Love,
Elder Spencer Fisher
