Hey everybody, ye family and friends.
This past week was not too eventful until the weekend
occurred. The missionary work we did this week involved us going by a
bunch of referrals we received from mormon.org and tried to get them all visited. Some of
them live way out in the edge of our area so it was quite interesting visiting
the far out trailer houses.
The ward is doing well. We got a new Elders Quorum President
due to the new change and he is raring to go and get things done. Tom
Billings, a guy that we are teaching, is taking us to Texas Roadhouse this week
which will be good.
We went by a member family named the Atchison's. Brother
Atchison has had a crazy past life. To keep brevity and most of the
details hidden I shall explain the story he told us succinctly:
He lived in Miami a long time ago. He was involved with a
lot of people with questionable motives. One day he ran into the
missionaries. When they taught him the plan of salvation he believed it
and then had a great experience at church. He thought that there was
going to be a lot of screaming at church because he was originally a Baptist
and the church he went to had people jumping around and screaming like a
Pentecostal church.
He went out with the missionaries and he told off a bunch of
people so they wouldn't harass the missionaries. One day they read the Book of Mormon
to about eighty people. A bunch of people were baptized from this. Brother Atchison and Sister Atchison have changed
a lot from their old selves.
Spiritual thought:
Anyone can change if they really want to. We, as human
beings, have an amazing psychic - neurological chemical muscular system (the
human body) that allows us to change if we really want to.
That is about all that really happened this week. I love you
all and hope that you have a great week.
Love,
Elder Fabricius

food there is extremely good.
