Dear Family,
  Things are going so much better I think there was alot of things going into play with what was going on. One thing was everyone was cancelling appointments and not being home so we haven't been teaching a lot and that was frustrating,  but this next week we have a lot of stuff planned so I’m super excited. another thing is I felt that there was something I could be doing better,  but I have come to the realization that as long as I’m trying my hardest and trying to become my best that is all I can do.  One thing that has really motivated me is Zach Webb told me he wished he could go on a mission and he wants me to kinda serve for him so I wrote a note in my planner that says mission X2 for Zach and that has really motivated me to help me keep pushing on.   Also me taking over the area was really stressful there is still tons of people I don’t know but it has helped me a ton.     Everything is going good we actually have a new investigator  that I think has a lot of potential so I’m excited to continue to teach him. his name is Eric and he is a native.  His boss is a member and told him that the book of Mormon is about his people in ancient times and he told him that he would really like one so we are going to teach him this Saturday.   Last Sat we gave him a book and were going to teach him but he didn't know his gf made plans for them.  So we talked to him about it and he seemed super excited so I can’t wait to talk to him again on Saturday. Things are going much better as people are coming home for school and what not.  Anyway I feel a lot happier we are in a weight loss comp right now with some other elders and I’m winning right now so i just got to keep it up for the next few weeks actually we are kinda doing this so that we can eventually get in the habit of staying healthy. its kinda hard as a missionary because the members always give us desert and what not haha but we do are best. Thank you so much for your support, prayers and love they have helped me a lot. I love and miss you guys so much, but I am grateful for this gospel and the chance I have to share it with the people of New Mexico.
Love Elder Fenner
