Missionary Work is on the Move

Hey Everyone!!!!

Well I had another great week!! We are having a lot of success right now it is awesome. We are having a baptism this Saturday!!! It is the first baptism in the branch since December and the branch is way excited. Rachael is the one getting baptized. We started to teach her when I got here. We have a date with another investigator for September.

I got to have an Interview with my mission president on Thursday and it was really good. I love my mission president. We picked up 5 new investigators this week and that is the most I have ever had before. One of them met with missionaries 15 years ago and saw that we have a new church in town and wants to go.

Yesterday it was pretty fun we got invited to a gospel fest from somebody that we door knock into and now he said that he was going to go to our open house in three weeks.

Well I got to go. Love you all.  Sorry it was so short, I will write more next week.

Love,

Awesome Referrals!

Happy Pioneer Day!

Well this week was actually amazing!!! I don't know if I told you or not because I e-mailed everyone last Wednesday, but we picked up a way awesome family.  They are friends with some members and they just asked them if they had a church they were going to.  The members invited the family to our church.

I got to go to Gaylor for splits and that was so fun.  The town had their big Swiss festival type thing and we got to help out with a pizza eating contest.  Oh man was that funny.

On Saturday we had a District picnic (oh it is so weird calling them branches and districts) in our area and we got to help out there.  Oh it surprised me when President and Sister Hess were there.

Yesterday was a good day.  We got a new Branch President and Presidency.  One of our investigators boyfriend came to church for the first time and he had been against the church.  Then we got a referral from Mormon.org and he is solid!  We are having a church tour with him on Tuesday.  I finally got to see Lake Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh man it is so pretty!!!!!  Well, love you all!!!!!!!!

Love,
Elder Robson Fletcher

P.S. I just remembered i forgot my camera at the apt, so I will have to send them to you next week.  Sorry!

Small Town

Hey Everyone!


How is it going?  So now I am in Kalkaska.  Last week we had a bad lightning storm and the internet towers got hit by lightning.  The internet just barely got up today.  Kalkaska is very beautiful and a lot of open space.  It is like being up in the mountains back home but flat. Haha.  The town is very small; it has about 2,200 people.  I was kind of in shock last week.  I though Coldwater was small until I came here.  There ins't even a Wal-Mart!  I don't know how I am going to survive. Haha!


The work here is actually gong really good.  The branch up here is great, very missionary minded.  They have been hooking us up with referrals.  We had a lesson with a family that one of the members referred us to and the lesson was great.  They will be at church this Sunday. 


We had another lesson with one of the member's girlfriend.  After teaching the Restoration, she wants to get baptized.  She has already read half of the Book of Mormon.  The branch just barely got a building.  They were meeting in an old pancake house.  There is going to be an open house for the community the middle of next month.  Well I have got to go.  Love you all!

New Area!

Hey everyone Happy Monday!!!!  I hope everyone had a great 4th of
July!!!!  I had a really good birthday.  Oh thanks to everyone that
sent me stuff I really appreciate it.  We calibrated my birthday last
Monday.  We went to Shipshewana Indiana, which is a Amish city in the
Sturgis area.  We went to the Blue Gate Restaurant and it was
amazing!!!!  It is the best food I have had in a really long time.
Man Amish really know how to make food.  Well the other big news for
me is that I am being transferred and I am actually leaving today.  I
am going to Kalkaska and my new comp is Elder Sugar.  I really don't
know anything about him except that Kalkaska is his first area.  Well
I got to go Love you all talk to you next week.  Love Elder Robson

Happy 4th of July

Hey everyone Happy 4th of July!!!!!! 

Well I am almost 20 and it is kind of weird to think that in one more year I will be almost old enough to go home.  Well this week was really good.  On Tuesday we had a really good lesson with a Spanish family, we watched Finding Faith in Christ in Spanish and I got so lost.  It was a good thing that I have seen it a couple dozen times.  I had such a hard time staying awake.  I have a hard time watching movies in English without falling asleep but Spanish is a whole different story.  We also had a church tour with them on Friday and they were way excited, the only problem with them coming to church is that no one in the ward can speak Spanish except one person.

On Wednesday we went out with one of the members of the Sturgis ward and it was so much fun.  Brother Quake is in his 70 but moves around like he is 40.  He took us out to a way good Amish restaurant.  Man do they know how to make food! 

Thursday was a little crazy, Elder Brock and I went Battle Creek while Elder Blackhurst and the other Elder from Battle Creek went to Lansing for a training meeting.  Elder Brock and I went door knocking together while the other Elder from Battle Creek went on splits.  It was kind of funny door knocking in to people and them asking where our church was.  We had no idea where it was.  We had a great lesson with one of the people we knocked into. That is pretty much it for the week.  We had funny fast and testimony meeting yesterday.  It is crazy what some people say, I thought it was funny when one of my comps called it open mic night. Well Love you all and miss you. 

Love, Elder Robson Fletcher
