Hi everyone!
Well, someone in the family wanted to know what it is that I do from day-to-day, so here is the schedule:
Every morning, I wake up at 6:25am and we work out for about 40 minutes in the morning, and since there are four of us in the apartment, we alternate taking turns in the showers, but me and Elder Cinger, who is going home in a couple of weeks, just let the other two go first. Then from 8am to 9am, I have personal studies. Then from 9am to 10am, Elder Smith and I have companionship studies. Then, the rest I'll break it up into the days
Monday, we have preparation day. The first thing we do in the morning is we come to the church, and e go into the family history center and email. Then, we either play basketball, or we just skip that, and we go shopping. Sometimes, Elder Smith and Ihave to go do something for another missionary inthe zone, but that doesn't happen very often. Then, we go back home, and we clean the apartment, and we get ready to go to our dinner appointment. After 6pm, our preparation day ends, and we go out and teach people.
Tuesday, we have a normal day of finding, and teaching.
Wednesday, we have our district meeting, and we alternate going to the different districts, and we take time to instruct the missionaries on the focus that mission has. The rest of the day, we go finding and teaching, and we also have our Missionary Coordination Meeting with our Ward Mission Leader every wednesday night.
Thursday, we are either on exchanges with other missionaires, or it's just a normal day of teaching and finding new people.
Friday, we have our weekly planning session. In that, we spend a few hours to get ready for the week that follows, and then we go out and keep doing what we do best.
Saturday is also another day of finding and teaching, but sometimes we have baptisms on Saturdays.
Sunday, we have Sacrament Meeting at 11am and we get out at 2pm. Then, every night on Sunday, we call in the indicators for the entire zone to the assistants.
Then...we go again!
Thats my schedule, and every moment is a moment dedicated to the Lord.
I love all of you

The Year of Change
Hey everyone,
So, as most of you know, I was transferred and was put in as a zone leader in Sprinfield, Missouri. I love the area that I am in, and I am grateful for the opportunity I have to serve these people here; member, non-member, missionary alike.
My area is about a fifth of the size than Eldon, and I am right in the city. It is quite a bit different than the country. I feel I was kinda numbed to the experience of being in the northernmost part pf the mission I love being here, though. The ward I am in has been great. They do not seem as tightly knitted as did the branch, but that comes with the territory of it being a ward here with many more people in the building. My companion's name is Elder Michael Smith, and he's awesome. He's from Cedar Hills, Utah, and he has been out just one transfer longer than I have. We are both fairly new to being a zone leader, so we both feel like we will be doing a lot of growing here serving together. We get along great, and we teach very well in unity. The area, in the past, has seen a lot of success because experienced missionaries have been here for a long time, and so the ward really does trust us with the work. We are being fed very well, in fact, last night, someone made us home-made hot wings!!! They were so good and we had a great time.
The investigators we are currently teaching are wonderful, but I'll fill eveyone in on them in the next letter.
I do not have too much time to email as I once did, and I do my emailing at about 10:15AM every Monday, so that anyone who wishes to know can plan accordingly.
I am so happy that I am serving on a mission, and I have been rejuvenated to spread the gospel to every home, and I know the Lord will bless Elder Smith, myself, and the ward as we put our shoulder to wheel. I know there is a blessing predicated upon every law in Heaven, and I know in whom I trust.
I know this new year will bring a lot of change to our lives, and that's a good thing! Change is good...well, the right kind of change. I have made a couple of new year's resolutions, one of which is to read a chapter from the Book of Mormon every day so that I can finish way before the year is up, and if I finish that, I'll move onto the New Testament...and if I finish that, I'll move onto the Doctrine and Covenants.
I hope all of you have made at least one new year's resolution. BE RESOLUTE in your resolutions, and I hope that you keep me accountable for mine.
I love all of you, and I am praying always for your health and safety.

Transfers are here again!!
Hey everyone! My companion and I got transfer calls, and I'm leaving to go to Springfield, MO.
My address is:
1005 E. Division Apt. A
Springfield, MO 65803
I'm really excited to go Springfield. My companion's name is Elder Michael Smith. I also think that I will be in that area for awhile, but you never know with what the Lord wants. They are making me zone leader there. I was go glad to have the opprotunity to speak to all of you on Christmas, and I will be speaking to you again on Mother's Day. I've gotta get going. I'm being transferred a day earlier than usual, so I have to take care of a lot of things.
Sincerely,
Elder Brad Fellows
