They respect us now.

Family and Friends,

Well this week was okay it wasn't the best but that is okay. I don't know if I told you guys about it last week but we had the opportunity to go to Delta College here.  We were guest speakers on Mormonism. I was pretty scared to teach an honors class because, first they were probably smarter then me and second I am pretty scared of public speaking.  It went really well.  I can say that if that was 6 months ago I wouldn't have been able to speak in front of an honors class because I would have been scared to death.  We had a question and answer session for an hour and they just asked question after question.  For the most part the students were respectful but some thought we were crazy.  Some of the questions were kind of awkward to answer but for the most part we did a really good job.  I don't know if anything will come from it but when we left they at least respected us.

On Friday it snowed and we had a half snow day. We weren't supposed to drive until the roads were cleared.  Elder Kohler and I built a ten foot snowman that was awesome!!!  I can't remember the last time I built a snowman.  The rest of the week wasn't so good but that's okay.  Love you all.

Love, Elder Robson Fletcher

Ward Conference

Hey everyone Happy Monday!! 

 Let's see what happened this week. This week was kind of different,  our goal this week was to invite everyone to ward conference which went very well.  We had a great turn out yesterday.  I think that was the most people at church I have ever seen. 

Nothing to exciting this week it was kind of slow.  There has been a bug going around and a lot of people are sick.  We didn't get to see as many people as I would have liked to but that is okay.  We didn't get to meet with any of our investigators this week for one reason or another but that is okay.  They were good excuses.

Oh we have a great opportunity coming up tomorrow.  We are going to Delta College which is just a community college here, to talk in a social issue class about Mormonism.  We have a hour and a half to talk to the class about Mormons and what we believe in.  I am a little worried about it though because they want a half an hour for questions and answers. We talked to the teacher and he said that he showed a movie about Mormons from PBS.  We watched it yesterday and it was not a nice video about us.  At least we watched so we already know somewhat of they already think and know. 

Oh yeah on Saturday we had Zone Conference and it was my comp last one so he got to give his departing testimony.  It is crazy to think that he is going home.  It's kind of funny to think when I first got here everyone told me how fast time goes by.  I didn't believe them but it true!!!  I am almost at six months I can't believe it.  1/4 of the way done.  My mission president is amazing I love him so much, I don't know how he does it all. 

Well that is about it.   Love you all and talk to you before you know it!!!!

Crazy Weather and Ice Skating

Hey everyone,

I can't believe that it is Monday already, this week went by so fast.  Oh I was so excited about a lady that we had door knock into when I was with Elder Ginn, we were able to teach again.  We lost contact with her last Tuesday and we got an apt. and went over on Thursday.  We had an amazing lesson with her and we get to go over again tomorrow.

Well on Wednesday I had splits with one of the zone leaders again and this time I stayed in Bay City and my comp went to Central Michigan University.  It went very well. I was surprised.  For the first time the Zone leader didn't have anything bad to say about me.  He said that I was doing a good job and I know my purpose as a missionary. 

We had a awesome lesson with one of are investigators named Lauri.  She wants to get baptized but first she will need to get married.  That is okay.  Thursday I really can't remember what happened.  Friday was a little crazy.  Elder Kohler driver’s license expired so now I have to drive everyday and Friday it snowed.  We had to drive from one side of the area to the other and I took for ever.  It was kind of scary and I do not like driving in the snow.  Well it has been crazy weather here last Monday it was 45 degrees and then Saturday it was 9 degrees. 

Church yesterday was good but nothing too exciting.  We didn't get any investigators to church but next week we will.  Today we went Ice skating and we had so much fun!!!  It was Elder Kohler's first time but he did way good!! He only fell once.  That was probably the most fun that I have ever had ice skating. Well that is about it. Love all of you and hope to hear from all of you soon.

Car Problems :(

Hey everyone Happy Monday!!!

Well this week was good but not much to tell about.  My new comp Elder Kohler is awesome! I have learned so much from him already.  It is crazy!!  Last week it was kind of scary.  Our car has been having problems.  On Wednesday I was driving to district meeting.  The car died in the middle of the intersection and wouldn't start for a while.  So after district meeting we drove straight to the dealership and took it in and waiter 4 hrs for it.

When we started to drive back home it almost did the same thing. We took it back on Thursday and waited a couple more hours.  We got it back and the same thing started to happen.  We took it back on Friday and we still don't have it.  I just got a call that it won't be done until tomorrow.  Hopefully it will be fixed this time. 

Church was great yesterday.  It seams like I get so much out of church now. Ha-ha. We didn't get any investigators to come to church yesterday but that is okay, maybe next week.  On Wednesday I have to go on splits with the one of the zone leaders in Bay City.  Hopefully everything works out okay, if not that is okay.  Well that is about it.  Love and miss you all.
