OK so this past week was awesome. I felt like without Elder Davis i would be nothing but i realized this past week I actually know what im doing out here haha jk. My new companion, Elder Wright is a great missionary, He just lacks a few things but its all good. He said he feels like im training him haha i felt kinda bad b/c he has been out for 10 months and hes the senior companion and the District leader but then i feel like im the one leading all the lessons and all the planning. Which is totally cool with me b/c I love being in charge but hes supposed to be in charge but its all good b/c we work really well together and thats all that matters. So to update you with Debbie, her batpism is this Sunday and this past saturday we went to go teach her and she told us shes not ready to be baptized and that shes not sure if the book of mormon is true. So that really threw us off, but i started to ask her questions like How do you feel when you read the BOM? and she said, "I feel great, it's encouraging and it helps me not be tempted to drink coffee", So once she said that i opened up to Galations 5:22-23, where it talks about the fruits of the Holy ghost and then to John 14:26 where its says the spirit will teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, After i read those to her it clicked in her head that when she would read and pray about the BOM that she was feeling the spirit and that it was testifying to her that what she was doing and reading is true. At the end of the lesson she still was unsure about being batized or not so she said, "Maybe I should fast?" and we thought that would be perfect, and since this past sunday was fast and testimony meeting it was perfect for Elder Wright and I to fast with her. So we did and at the end of church on sunday Debbie came right up to us and says, "Elders, I need to tell you something, with a big smile on her face, She says, I got my answer.....It's true. It was a miracle right in front of us. I was so happy. Then after church we taught her in a members home so that was good. So shes back on board and is going to be baptised this sunday at 5PM. She asked me if I would baptize her so im excited about that too. Some other good news is that this man named Brian Schlachter, who we have been teaching for about a month or more now has set a date to be baptised on january 16th. Were so pumped. We had such a spiritual lesson last week with him that i felt prompted to ask him to be baptised. It was awesome. Were super pumped for him. Other then that its just cold, and im sorry im such a wuss when it comes to the cold, being on a bike in 20 degree weather all day with numb toes and hands isnt exactly something i look forward to do, but working for the lord is something i look forward to so its a win lose situation haha. I hope all is well. Happy Holidays and i love you all
Love, Elder Fielding
