Family!
It
was so great talking to you this past week! Is it weird I feel like it
was more like a month ago and not just last week?! It was so fun, Since then I have good news--our water is back on and my eye is
back to normal! I'm kind of sad that's how you saw me because
basically that's what I look like when I get up, no make-up with my
glasses on... Surprisingly, I actually look better than that most days.
But
it was an amazing week and Skyping you all was definitely the
highlight! So Wednesday, we skyped you and afterwards we stopped by the
pharmacy so I could get eye drops, and then headed out to proselyte!
Brother P (our investigator family) invited us over for lunch, and
we were a little nervous because he invited us almost a week beforehand, so
we thought maybe he forgot... but we show up, and turns out it was this
huge luncheon that was catered, with tables set out everywhere, and
they had his whole family and their neighbors there. It was fun, there
was good food, and we were able to relax for a little bit. All the kids
had a little presentation also where they danced and it was super cute. But
then for the rest of the day, we had a couple of appointments, visited
some investigators and members, and then we came home around 6 for
studies. We ate leftovers that people gave us for dinner, and then the
four of us opened presents from each other! We decided a couple weeks
ago to give everyone gifts and I'm so glad we did because it was so fun
and exciting to see what we got each other. I currently have a full box
of presents from Christmas still sitting on my bed. We're slowly working
our way through all the candy you sent, which isn't helping us stay
healthy, but I figured I have a couple of more days until the new year
:)
Our
missionary work is still continuing. We have some progressing
investigators, we have some not so progressing, but that's the life of a
missionary. Our zone sets goals for our key indicators each transfer,
and they're definitely high, so we're trying to push ourselves to reach
them this week. In exciting news, G gets baptized this Saturday!
She passed her interview yesterday and we're so excited. She's a 12
year-old girl that we met and we just invited her to church
and she said she would come! So then we awkwardly walked with her to a
member family close to where she lives so she could come with them to
church... the whole process was awkward. BUT, the following day, she
actually came to church with them! We later find out when we visited her
that week, that her mom is a less active! She's been amazing and so
cute. She reads all the time, and she's so excited to get baptized. Her
mom hasn't returned to church yet, but she's completely supportive of
G, and basically bears her testimony every time we teach and she's
coming to her baptism, so we're excited. Also, T's baptismal
interview is this Friday. He's still reading all the time so we're hoping he'll get baptized on the 11th.
Send
everyone my love. I am truly loving my mission and I can't believe that I
have less than a year left.... I love you all!
xoxoxo forever,
Sister Fitz
