Hi everyone!
Things seem to be going better in the life of Elder Fellows.
I think the weather becoming nicer has lifted my spirits so much! I love the springtime.
The work is continually going. The other day, I thought about how in everyone else's life around me(excluding other missionaries) they are continually changing in their day-to-day routines...most of the time.
As for a missionary, it seems to be the same thing every day, but I like the structure of missionary life because it keeps you focused on your purpose.
I have thought about a lot of things lately pertaining to my calling, and i realize that I do not have much time left on my mission, so I gotta keep working hard so that I can say that I did my best at the end of it all.
This is my little missionary work for all of you today:
Check out the new mormon.org website and create a profile on there.
I have been on the site and it LITERALLY takes only five minutes of your time to create a profile. The new website is significantly different from the one before, especially the "I am a Mormon" ads. You'll love those. I reccommend Alex Boye's, but that's just because I love music. Browse around and become familiar with the site.
There was a young man in Baton Rouge, Louisiana who saw a mormon.org ad, checked out the website because he was intrigued, looked at a couple of profiles on there, and was touched by the Spirit. So, he decided to find a local church building nearby and attended that following Sunday. That evening, he was invited to dinner at a member's home where he received his first lesson from the missionaries...He was baptized 2 weeks later.
I love all of you, and never, never give up.

THE BEST PREPARATION DAY EVER!
Hey everyone,
So, today we just got back from the most epic prepararion day that I have been apart of on my mission.
About a month ago, Elder Argyle and I were speaking to the other zone leaders (Elder Monson & Elder Howe), about doing a combined zone outing, wherein we gather together much like we would for zone conference, we have a multi-zone meeting where we instruct for a little bit, and then we have an activity.
Well, a lot of ideas were thrown out onto the table, but the one idea that looked the most appealing was to go see a show in Branson!
So, we conversed more and more and we saw that there was a show in Branson that is performed by members called "The Hughes Brothers" and they would let missionaries come to their show for free.
This was all very exciting, but the one catch was that we now had to get it approved by the mission president. So, we organize everything we were going to present so that he understood everything that would go on with the multi-zone activity, and then....
THE CALL WAS MADE
President ended up approving of the activity(YAY!!!), which made us extremely happy (that is one of the biggest understatements of the year), and now we had to coordinate rides for 38 missionaries to get to Branson for this little shin-dig!
Well, I don't want to bore you with all the craziness that went along with coordinating rides, but we finally got everyone situated to get to the activity......
WHICH TOOK PLACE TODAY!!!! :)
We gathered together an hour before the show and us and the other zone leaders instructed on how all our efforts as missionaries are not wasted. It was, in my opinion, what all the missionaries needed to hear that day.
Then, we went to the show...AND IT WAS AMAZING!
Then, afterwards, 12 of us missionaries went to Lambert's Cafe "The Home of the Throwed Roll"
That was an absolute blast, and we had so much fun eating there. The food was good, but the experience of going to one of the best restaurants in the country was even better...especially when you are with a lot of missionaries whom you love and care for.
Anyways, this day has been such a good stress release for all of us.
I love all of you, and I hope you all have a great, stress-free week.
