Sorry I am a great big slacker
at getting Ryan's emails out. So I am sending last weeks and this weeks
together. Also a picture of him with the girl whose baptism they spoke
at. I added a pic of him and his old companion. They were on
exchanges friday and stopped by a member's home who loves the two of
them. She used to text me pics of them all the time so she took this
one and said
I
had these 2 stop by today. I let them wear my hats I got in China. They
enjoyed posing with my puppy as a pretend food source. They are so
funny. Dorks. I think they are my fav. team thats ever been in Cruces.

This
week was really good our lesson count is going up which is great
because it means we are helping more and more people. This Sunday was
probably one of my favorite so far on the mission haha. On Saturday we
went to go and contact this former investigator that I had tried to
teach before and she was there and talked with us a bunch and we invited
her to church but really didn’t expect much because we had invited her
before and she never came. So we were greeting
people at church and I turn around and I see her family walk in the
other door and sit down I was so excited to see her there. She
told us she wants to be baptized that made me so happy. Then after
church we were about to leave when the Rio Grande elders grabbed us and
were like hey wait there is someone here that wants to talk to your
bishop. So we go and talk to our bishop to come help us and she was like
well actually maybe you can help me. Right now I’m catholic and I want
to change religions I have already read the book of mormon I really like
it. It brought a lot of joy to me, but I don’t really understand it so I
was wondering how I become part of your church. That just made may day
even better .We have been seeing so many miracles
I know that if you have faith and ask heavenly father for help he will
be there and will bless us with everything we ask for as long as it is
his will. We have been seeing so many great things lately we do have
almost all the furniture we need we just need one more desk and some
kitchen chairs. last p day we went to this place called western boot and
they had the most awesome cowboy cut suit i have ever seen but you
would be so proud i didn’t get it haha. Our district has been doing
really good everyone is teaching a lot or the areas are getting better
and better every week. I’m super excited the one thing that kinda stinks
is elder Simpson goes home in 3 weeks so i don’t think he will be able
to see the people be baptized, but who knows thinks can always change.
on wed i learned the best way to pull weeds we were helping this person
clear this huge lot when the neighbor came over and was like when i have
alot of weeds i just put a pallet with weight on back so we put weights
on the pallet and hooked it to the truck and drove around the lot it
was awesome it just pulled them right up haha. welp that is the fun
stuff that went on this week. we dont really have to much planned for
today so we will see what we do haha. i hope you get better and have a
great week. Love you so much.

Everything is going great!! This past week was really good. On Wed we had zone conference and it was so good. There were a couple quotes I really liked. One
was whenever you are going to do something bad or not do something that
you should, like talk to someone think about the question Jesus asked
Peter. Do You Love Me? Then think about how much. And then the other
quote was from Sister Miller, I have been working hard, but whenever I
don’t want to do something she told us to be the missionary your mom
thinks you are haha I thought that was really good. Then we were going
to teach one of our new investigators Jaclyn but she cancelled and then
she rescheduled. I’m super excited for her. I think after this lesson we will set a baptismal date. On Saturday we had a crazy day. In
the morning we decided to go to find people at yard sales and the first
one we went to the people already knew who we were and talked to us for
a while, that was awesome. As we were leaving
this old couple came and they stopped us and told us they had a grandson
on a mission, but there not members and told us they want to take us to
lunch sometime and talk to us about our church so that should be
awesome. Then we went to visit some less actives then on our way back we
got a call from a lady that we activated and her daughter was getting
baptized. She was freaking out because the church
was locked and nobody was there and we got there and told her that her
clock was fast so she wasn't freaking out anymore haha. We gave talks at
the baptism which was really fun. Then after that we went to visit
Hannah and we taught the first lesson and set a date with her for
October 26th I’m so excited it should be awesome. oh yeah going back we
were invited to do a Mormon helping hands project Sat morning, but we
couldn't because we said we would talk at the baptism I think the Lord knew we needed to be here so we could meet the people we did on Sat. Then
to top the week off on Sunday we get to dinner and they told us that we
were having green chilli brisket which is awesome and my favorite haha.
welp that was my week. i hope you have a great week. Love you so much.
Love elder Fenner
