Dear Fullmer Family,
How is everything going? Well, yesterday we got the transfer info
yesterday and it turns out that I'm going to be leaving and my companion
is going to be staying. It's a little sad but i feel like it's my time
to leave. I love North Miami Beach but i feel like there are other
places that I need to be and other people to meet. Every companionship
in our zone is being affected by transfers. It's going to be crazy.
So on Sunday we got the good news that the baptismal records for
the husband and father of our investigators came in so we can baptize them. So we went over to
tell them the good news yesterday., the mother asked the golden question, "So
when can i get baptized?" We told her asap! So they were thinking about
it and the dad said, "How about the next Sunday?" I had a very
strong feeling that I was going to be transferred on Wednesday, so I was
praying that I would be able to be at the baptism. All of a sudden the 8-year-old daughter jumped in and asked, "Why not tomorrow?!" They all
thought... Why not tomorrow? The mother asked, "can we do that?" We said of
course! So I called up the bishop and the ZL's for an interview and
everything is going to work out! I can't wait!
This past week we got a new bike for my companion.. Finally! It's
nice to be back on bike believe it or not! The charge yesterday was
because I needed new brake pads and new pedals. The bike shops love us
missionaries!
This past week we were able to be part of a zone conference where
Elder Gavarrett of the First Quorum of the Seventy came and had a mission
tour. He's an incredible person! It was really hard for him to give the
conference in English. He's only been learning English for about a year,
however, when you really focused on what he was trying to say the Spirit
helped us understand! It was a really good experience.
I don't think i need a shirt to burn (for the one year mark) mom, I'm good. One of my pens
broke so I've got a shirt to burn! I really don't think i need anything! The other investigators in our
area are doing really well and I'm really excited for my companion to be
able to teach them and take over the area.
Well, sorry that this letter is a little short this week. I've got a
bunch of stuff to do... pack up all of my stuff and then have a baptism
tonight at 7:30! BUSY BUSY! But i have to say it's the best way to
leave an area with a baptism! Please pray so that everything will work
out today. I love you all and I know that this church is true! This next
transfer will be really good, i have a good feeling about it! I love
you!
-Elder David B. Fullmer
