HEYYYYYY!!
This week has been awesome!! So I don’t know why I am being transferred up
to Rigby, the Lord needs me up there, I guess. Change is good...I like it. It
is sad leaving an area, but it is just A-ok with me. So yes, I found
an awesome suit!! You would love it....well, I actually got 2 for $300.
LEGIT!!!!! DEALS. So the first one is like you said to get, very dark
charcoal, and super durable. It came with 2 pairs of pants!! So perfect.
The manager was from NY and a member so I guess she wanted to help me out
haha. I do take care of all of my clothes very well by the way.
So we had another baptism this weekend!! It was for a 9 year old
boy named Parker. There were tons of less active family from all over the US
there. Elder W and I gave a little lesson on the restoration during the
baptism. A man was talking to Brother M, our high councilman, over missionary
work and said that the message we shared had so much power. He said he could
feel our words inside of him and it helped him feel the spirit again. Such a
cool experience. My companion was sick
this week, so I went on tons of splits with youth and other missionaries.
One of the youth, Austin, is going to NY next Tuesday for a camp at
Fordham University. I gave him dads
cell#, but I guess you will be at high adventure. He was going to call for
advice on what things to see and where to eat. His dad is the one who owns Yellowstone
Partners, aka helicopter guy, aka batman of IF. So if he calls or texts you,
that is why.
I learned a huge lesson this week. I gave Elder M a blessing and
within the blessing, the words “I bless you with the gift of healing, but it is
all contingent on your faith, and of course faith means action”. So the first
few days, he just got even worse, but then I told him what was said so he
started working, and he felt much better....the spirit knows all. Also, I gave
a blessing this week to Olivia our investigator, and I started sealing the anointing,
and what I thought was me choking on words turned out to be the spirit
speaking. I wound up blessing the oil! Elder
M realized the oil was not consecrated...so he started praying that I would bless
the oil in my blessing...I didn’t even know I was doing that, I just thought I
was tripping over my words. So cool!! We are on the Lord’s errand, he takes
care of us for sure.
I LOVE MY MISSION! It is everything I ever dreamed of it being
and much, much more. I can’t put in words all that I learn and how I grow...it’s
just impossible to put it all into words. You don’t know till you experience it
for yourself...it’s incredible how true this all is, how real it is! We pray
and it happens! dah it’s incredible. I just love it, I don’t ever want it to
end. Sorry, but that is the truth of it. It is the best, it is so hard, and so
challenging, but I love it! I love the failure, I love the harsh days, I love
the shortcomings...because at the end of the day, we still won! I still exhausted
myself in the service of others. I still gave my Savior everything I have,
every ambition, every thought, every action is for him and his kingdom. I am
really striving to be better, I know that I am nothing, and that I know
nothing. But I still have something to give every time. I strive for exact
obedience, that is what we have to do, that is our part. Then the Lord blesses
us with words and guidance. I love giving to people as well, we give all of our
time to others! That is what we are about, being like our Savior who was the
best minister ever. I love it so much, I love the missionaries I serve around,
I love giving myself, I love my mission. It’s just focus that matters out here,
focusing on our purpose is key. Missionaries can get distracted by girls in
the area, girls back home, trendy clothing, family problems, failure, and just
things stop them from doing the work. That is my only strength out here...is
the focus. I don’t like being idle, I don’t like wasting time, I just want to
be out there doing the work. This church is everything, the Gospel is
everything to me, my relationship with God is everything, because if you have
those...nothing else matters. When we fear or doubt, we forget our true
identity and purpose. God is our Dad! (our Father in Heaven) So who are we to
lose, so who are we to fail? God made us to succeed. He made us to have joy. If we embrace the gospel and stay focused on
it, life is good. All is well! Come, Come Ye Saints is one of my favorite
hymns.
Oh hey we had zone training meeting on Tuesday, I trained on
persistence, and what motivates us. It was about 25 minutes long and it went
well, so I think. We also started teaching a neurosurgeon!!!! He is super smart but we told him about the
gospel and he wants to know why we gave up so much to come out here. SO LEGIT!
Stinks I have to leave the area, but it’s all good. I am excited to get to Rigby!
My new companion has been a zone leader for
a few months now, he is very solid and this is his last transfer, so president
wants me to help him finish strong it sounds like. Elder G by the way is now a
zone leader!! That stud! Man, but ok I gotta get running, I love you
all family! You guys are the best! I know
that this gospel is true, I know that the work we are doing is for such a
greater cause than we can comprehend. I love every bit of this gospel, true
conversion is when you set your own will aside and follow Heavenly Father’s
will. That is what we are all working on. If I can’t master it here, how can I ever
expect to master it back home...it starts over every single morning, so each
day it’s up to us if we run it, or let it run us. The choice is made the night
before. I love you so much! Have a great week, have fun, and just enjoy life!
Love,
Elder Fischetti
There is no try, only do.
