It's been awhile!!

How's it going everyone!


Well, the work has been going wonderful! We just had a baptism a father and his daughter Saturday, and it was a beautiful service. Their names are John Connell and Whitney. Whitney had asked me to baptize her, and John had asked to be baptized by Elder Doxey. Many people came to their baptism to show support, and we also got an investigator come to see them baptized as well.

We also have Brad Clarkston's baptism coming up this week, Selina Hildenbrand and Connie Sheets' baptisms the 6th of November, then, we have Heather Humphrey's baptism scheduled for the 13th of November....so we are very busy. We are also going to be setting a baptismal date with an older couple who we have been teaching this week. They have been coming to church for the past month with a family, and they want to know what they need to do become members of the church! I think it's pretty amazing how the Lord is blessing the Eldon Branch. What is very interesting about most of these people is that most of them have smoking addictions, and Elder Doxey and I have been battling these people's addictions every single day with phone calls to check up on their progress, giving them the tools necessary to fight it themselves (mouthwash, cinnamon toothpicks, cinnamon toothpaste, taking their cigarettes away, etc.), and we have most importantly been teaching them the doctrine behind it all. It's been an adventure!!!

From the experiences I have had here....I extremely dislike the smell of smoke, and what the cigarettes do to the body.

There is so much to say, but hose are the headlines of what has been happening. I do not have as much time to write emails anymore, but I will be more detailed in my general emails from now on. Our current emailing situation will be changing this next week, so all of you will know what it is like in the life of Elder Fellows. There are just so many things that I need to catch up on. I have a goal this week of organizing all of the forms and binders where all of the information is kept pertaining to the investigators we are teaching, the members in the area, and the other missionaries in the district.

Next week's email WILL BE MORE JUICY!

Sincerely,
Elder Brad Fellows
