Ok so im sorry i havent been great at writting lately. But alot of stuff has gone down lately. First off, its been freezing lately but so much fun. My companion and i took a sweet new shortcut last cut last night on our bike and deciding to charge through a 2 foot deep river. I decided to go first b/c my companion is a girl and I did and got soaked but made it through without falling so that was nice. My legs were numb at our next teaching appointment but its all good. The spirit warmed me right up haha. But I also need to say that I love my mission so much. I love the area im in so much. Ever since ive gotten here, we have been able to change it around for the better. So many good things are happening here. This week it will be a whole 6 months that ive been out. THATS CRAZY. It has just flown by. I feel like ill be home in no time. Scary thing is that transfers are this saturday. I dont want to leave this area but its a big possibility. I just wrote a long letter to my mission president telling him i cant leave hahaha. hopefully he will keep me here. But if im needed somewhere else I will understand. I have gained such a strong love for the ward here. There amazing. Our ward mission leader is off the hook. Nicest family ever. His wife bought me a brand new pair of pants the other day b/c i took a really nasty fall about 2 weeks ago and shredded my pants and shirt. I got a minor concusion but good thing i had some percacets to take care of that. Im totally fine now tho. I happened 2 weeks ago on a saturday night and I woke up with my knee killing me and i gnarly headache so sunday morning i popped a pain killer and had the best 3 hours of church that morning haha Dont worry i havent taken anymore since. But things with our investigators are going good. Brain Schlacter was supposed to get baptized last Sunday but he ended up telling us he was gay last minute so that really bummed us out. Were still meeting with him and were having a fast with him to ask for a miracle that he wont be gay anymore. He feels like god didnt put that its a sin to be gay in the bible. But he has such a solid testimony of the bible and book of mormon. He will be baptized. Its just a matter of time. I wont give up on him. All my recent converts are doing awesome. Derek gets out of the hospital this week on friday. Hes been in a 28 day medical AA detox program to overcome all of his bad addictions. He should be confirmed here in about a week or 2 hopefully. Debbie is the best. Most likely my favorite person that ive been able to work with out here. SOOOOO FUNNNY. A member in the ward bought her a really nice scripture set with her name engraved on it and a case and on sunday she came running up to me at church and goes hey guess what? and showed us the new scriptures and say Im a cool mormon now hahahaha shes hilarious. Other than that things are great. Trying to stay warm for the most part. Pray for me that i can stay in my area longer. I love you all and I hope all is going great in your lives.....BOOYAH
Love, Elder Fielding
