This week- Oh man what a great one! Got to experience the love my Father in Heaven has for me. From being able to stay positive even in the hardest of times to sharing a message of the restored gospel with individuals so willing and ready to listen. I want to start off by letting all of you know how blessed I am and all of us our for a Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. I can't comprehend the love I feel they have for me as well as all of his other children (you!) . I read a talk called "The word of God to his children" written by President Uchtdorf. He said: "If you approach Heavenly Father as His child, you can ask Him with a sincere heart, “Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do.” He will speak to you through His Holy Spirit, and it is then up to you “to do his will.” I promise that if you do, “rich blessings are in store.”". As I strive to do his will everyday and ask what we should be doing I truly rely on his great wisdom because as I do that we see so many more miracles. For example on Friday night there was a couple things we could've done but we felt we should go walk around and talk to people on the street in the ghetto of our city. My companion and I didn't know why but we stopped what we were doing, headed over to the area, and just started walking and talking to the few still out walking their dog etc. Anyways 45min went by and nothing really happened. We handed out some cards but that's about it. As we started to head back to the car we ran into this lady. Probably 40ish and we asked to share a card with her and we asked if she was religious at all. Anyway she went on to tell us how she met with missionaries 7 years ago and wanted us to come give her father a blessing as he was very sick and she wanted us to come teach her more as she is looking for a church for her and her son who is 11. So we ended up teaching her Sunday and it was such an amazing experience. She felt the spirit confirm to her that what we were teaching was true! Which is so amazing because I know how much it will bless her life as it has blessed me beyond belief. We invited her to pray about what we taught to know if it was true for herself and she replied "I believe it all". Holy, that is so awesome for me to hear! So as we get out and serve and submit to the will of our Heavenly Father, we can find the things we desire at that time. Right now I desire to share the gospel to all and that's what we have been blessed  with here. We have been able to teach and help others come unto Christ so much these past couple months. It helps me recognize how blessed I am to have had this wonderful knowledge my whole life and at times took that for granted. So in short the gospel is true and it's blessed my life and can bless everyone's life so I'm hyped hahaha🤙. Ok know here's a funny story: so we were walking downtown on Sunday and this guy sees us from his apartment and start screaming and yelling at us....all these people just were like what the heck is this man doing he is crazy! He starts calling to us bad words and saying some pretty explicit language haha. I just waved and smiled and this guy we walked by just said 'O man I am so worried for when that guy meets God ahahahahah." Of course because of all the crazy stuff he was saying anyway we are famous here because people are always screaming, hugging and doing weird stuff to us. Very mixed emotions here with how people feel about us . Makes our life way more exciting haha. It's been so nice here holy! Plus 14 today so that's not to shabby. Well hope everyone has a wonderful week and know that we are all children of our heavenly father and to always treat others that way as well. Love ya and have a wonderful week. Elder Fibke
