Hey Familiaaa,
Life is going great! I am making some headway with my
companion. I have been working with elders
in our zone who are struggling. I have been using the skills I learned from a
book I read at college called how to make friends and gain their
trust...something along those lines. I just love my mission, it pushes me in so
many ways, it’s awesome.
Thank you sososo much for all the goodies!!!! We all loved the
cookies! None of the Packer family could believe you made them haha. They were
way cool looking. Also thank you for the money, I will buy a suit today, the
owner is in our ward, so he hooks us up with deals.
So I started a purification challenge, it’s a talk that I have
in my binder. I will copy it and send it
home to you. I would love for you to make copies and give them to all the
missionaries in our ward. It honestly changed my life. Doing that is when I
finally grasped the concept of obedience, sacrifice, and the power of the
spirit. Miller and I did it together for the first time, and people we taught
are still getting baptized.
I saw all the St. Anthony people at this huge scout
encampment...10,000 scouts. They all
thanked me for choosing to come on a mission. It was really touching to me to
realize that I helped more people than I thought. They were all yelling for me
across the camp haha it was awesome. So the scout thing....it was crazy! We
helped the scouts pass off an award called the Thomas S. Monson Award. I
received it as well, I will send it home so you guys can hold onto it. It is extremely special, you can only get it
there and at the big jamboree, so Michael can have my medallion. We were there
for a morning helping out. I saw the woman who used to babysit me (the one I
saw at Walmart my first day) - her son. It was cool to meet him!
So I finally got to go on an exchange with Elder Beebe from my
MTC group!! It was so much fun working
with him for the day, but sadly he got a dear john letter while we were
together...poor kid, but that’s life. I felt bad for him.
I also got a package form Sister Bryant!! Tell her I will write
her...or send me her email address, much easier. I love that lady. I am so
grateful for the way I was raised! At
the scouting event, I realized how much the youth program has helped me out.
One of the biggest was the 50 mile hike with Pres. Checketts and Dad. I learned
that I can do hard things. I am taking the youth I work with when I am older on
that all the time. I was so impressed dad finished along with the other
leaders. True will power.
So we finally got back to teaching in between all of our
meetings and things with other missionaries, we totally taught by the spirit!!
We came out of the lesson and didn’t even know what we said, but the spirit was
really strong. It was with Isaiah, Olivia, and Jesse. We are getting
better, the last few weeks have been the hardest of my life. It was a struggle,
but we did it. I just love my mission!! It is going by way too fast!!! 11
months today! Yikes. Hard to believe. I just love it so much.
Tell all the Elders back home that we are working hard, being obedient,
and hustlin'. I love you all so much! I will keep you all in my prayers as
always. I am so glad to hear dad was in his element...you have no idea how much
that makes me smile. My dad is legit! He is one of the most successful guys I
know. No college...and he is where he is?
He started at the bottom now he’s
climbing to the top. So cool! I love you! Have a great week!!!!
xoxoxo
love,
elder fischetti
