Amazing Leadership Training

Dear Family and Friends,

Well another week in Jackson has gone by.  We have two investigators that are progressing really well and have baptism dates. We are having a hard time getting them to church but hopefully we can fix that.  

On Tuesday I got to go to Lansing with one of the missionaries I came out with.  It was good to catch up on our missions and serve a day together.

Yesterday we had the General Leadership training and it was amazing!!! It was all focused on missionary work and how we can move the work forward.  We are hoping that we can apply what we learned to the ward we are serving in.  Sorry for such a short email but some things came up today.  I love you all and miss you all.  

Love,

Elder Robson Fletcher 

Success in Finding

Dear Family and Friends!!!

Well this week went by supper quick this week, I had two tradeoffs and was only with my comp for 4 days.  Being in a big city is a lot faster pace than a small town.  We are constantly busy and don't have time to take breaks for dinner.  Last week, we had tons of success finding.  About ever third person we talked to, we talked to for at least 20 min so that was way cool.  One of the ladies we talked to was awesome!! She asked us why we would need another book and that is one of my favorite questions!!!  We opened up the Book of Mormon right on her door step and started to teach her.    She said she was really impressed with my knowledge of the scriptures and wants me to come to a bible study at her church to teach them.  I don't know how well that would go but it was a good compliment. 

It was crazy we got stuck in the middle of some family drama here, it sucked.  There is a recent convert here that has a sister that we are teaching and they don't get along.  They were fighting last week and were telling lies about what we said about the other.  So we told them yesterday that we had to step out between them for a little bit until things calm down.  

Well that is about it for the week I love you all!!  Thanks again for all your emails and support!

Love,

Elder Robson Fletcher

New Area: Jackson, MI

Dear Family and Friends,

Well I am in Jackson now; it was so hard to leave South Haven!!!!  It was like leaving home all over again.  Well my new comp is Elder Campbell and he has been out for 3 months now.  He was pretty stressed out his first day but he is doing well now.  I forgot what it was like to be in a big city!!!  I am so excited; today I am going to the mall ha-ha.  The ward is pretty big here, I was in shock yesterday.  I went from a branch of 40 to a ward of 150.  I forgot what that was like.  The work in a city is a lot faster passed, there are so many people to talk to that you always have something to do.  Well so far the only complaint that I have about Jackson is that we don't get fed here. J That is one thing that I am hoping to change.  

I had a cool experience last week.  We got a referral from a member and when I got there I remembered that I knocked on that door before and talked to that lady.  I went up and started to talk to her again and she remembered who I was because Fletcher is her maiden name.  We started to talk about family and she really wants to get started with Family History.  I am way excited we are going back tomorrow to get her started and see if we are related somehow ha-ha.  Well I am running out of time on the computer so I will talk to you all next week!

Love,

Transfer Day is Here Again!

Dear Family and Friends,

Well another great and last week in South Haven!!!!  We got our transfer calls and I will be leaving tomorrow for Jackson.  It is going to be sad to leave.  I am leaving home all over again.  The members here are awesome and I am really going to miss them.  I told everyone if I am ever rich that I am going to buy a summer home here.  I don't know if that will ever happen but I do want to come back.  I am going to miss being so close to the water.  I have never lived anywhere so close to a lake before it was really nice to experience that feel.  

This week on Wednesday was not fun.  After district meeting we went to Taco Bell and it gave me food poisoning!!  That was not fun at all.  I was on splits that day and I felt so bad that we had to cancel all of our apt.  I don't know how long it will take before I go back to Taco Bell again ha-ha. 

Since Friday on we just went and visited people and said good bye to them.  Here are some of the pictures.  Oh I forgot how much I hate packing!!!!  Hopefully it is my last time packing before I go home.  Well I love you all and I will tell you next week about how Jackson is and my new comp, Elder Campbell.  

Love,

Elder Robson Fletcher
