Hey Yall!!!
                This week flew by I can’t even believe how fast it went.  One minute we are planning for our week last Monday then before I even know it  was Sunday and now its Monday again its crazy how fast time just flies right on past. It’s still really weird to think that Elder Koch and Elder Richins have been here for a whole month already. Still no word on their visas yet so they are still with us for now. I hope they get to stay a while longer I like having them around.
                We had a couple of pretty cool things happen this week with some new
investigators that we found. We had an amazing miracle last Monday evening, haha which is so cool because usually those are kind of rough nights right after having p-day all day. But we were in this neighborhood and we were knocking on doors of course, and we were meeting some really nice people it just really felt cool because it felt like we really needed to be there. So we keep on knocking and so far we had not been able to teach anybody, but it just felt like we needed to stay there. So we knock on this one door and this family is excited to see us they are like hey missionaries come on in. Well we quickly found out that they are members, Sis. Pratt has been a member for about 3 years and her daughter Jacquelyn was baptized in September. Elder Smart had actually taught her when he was in Myrtle Beach at the beginning of his mission and her husband was pretty anti so she never got baptized. Well she is now getting a divorce from her husband and so she got baptized and she is really strong in the church now. So while we are over there Jacquelyn has a friend Jacob who is there and he has actually been kinda looking into the church and is really interested. So we taught him and the spirit was so strong it was amazing we left and I thought that I floated away me and Elder Koch did some heel clicks and skipped down the street we were so happy! Then we taught him again and we had another just way strong lesson and it went great he had read a lot and already knew about the apostacy and why he needed to be baptized again and we committed him for baptism on November  27th It was so cool.
                We also had a really good week at church this week, as a district with us Elders and the sisters we had 6 people at church it was pretty cool. The members were like wow we have a lot of non-members here today.  Some of the members friends actually came and it was really cool they enjoyed it and we will be teaching them  more this week.  I love it when things go good haha that’s whats awesome about being out here it just really makes you take a look at all of the miracles and little things that the Lord does for all of us each and everyday.  I love it!!!

Love yall,
Elder Adam Fitzgerald
