I didn't think a mission could be so hard.......yet, I often have  found myself crying in bed at the end of the day for the joys, miracles, and blessings  I have felt in one day on our mission. This mission is amazing , a once in a lifetime experience.  Let me tell you about a couple of miracles.  Thursday we set a goal to find 15 less actives in one day.  We were able to stop by 15 places. We met with 7 people and saw two miracles. One was Andy. We have been by his home several times with no answer. This time as we rang the bell, I Prayed out loud :" please let someone open the door ".! Andy did. We had a great visit, stayed an hour,  and invited him back to church.
      As we were following our list, we had the impression to go to a certain door.  The woman answered with a face of grief and tears. Her x-husband & father of her only daughter ; had just been taken to the hospital. She is blind , her daughter a teenager. They were getting ready to catch a bus to transfer to another bus to get to the hospital. We drove them there quickly. She is a less active lady who hasn't been to church for 30 years. The next day, she called to tell us how lucky it was that we came when we did. We saved them so much time & trouble. Her husband died that day. We said :" It wasn't luck. Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ love you. They sent us here to let you know of that love from them ."
    Sunday morning we stopped by Kirsten's house to pick her up for church. She is very disabled in a wheelchair. The sun was shinning, first time in three weeks. We walked in & commented on the sunny day. She started singing "There is Sunshine in my Soul Today".  We sang it together all the way to the car.  She keep singing it as we drove to the church a couple of miles away.  As we rolled her wheelchair into the chapel, the conference prelude was playing  :" There is Sunshine in my Soul....". She commented, "Can you believe that ?"  Then durning the conference, Elder Holland's entire talk was about that song. It was such a lift for her. I told her :" See, God  knows you, is aware of your needs, & loves you. "
       Our Chinese English class is so fun. At the end of Friday's class, the students begged us to make the class an hour and a half instead of one hour.  So on Monday we taught from 4:00 to 5:30. At the end of class , they asked if we will make the class for two hours ?  We said "no".  Stan plays an opening song and I sing. Yes, you read that right. Unbelievable....me with little musical talent. But after about a month of classes, all the students sing with me. I think they sing more to cover my voice than really wanting to sing. Hey, whatever works. They are all non-members and we always sing opening & closing songs and have prayers so they can feel the spirit. We also teach them how to pray so they can take turns. This week we defined all the difficult words in "The Lord is my Shepherd ".
       We did transfers again this week for the mission. It was Mission Leadership Council so we were doing airport & ferry runs for two days. Being part of the office gives a chance to be with the mission president and his wife often. They are amazing leaders. As are the two office couples we work with.  Sister Smith is a past General Authority so it was fun to sit by her in conference as she knew all the General authorties.
    Conference was outstanding. Our days of watching it in our pj's is over though. We dress and go to the church for all six meetings.  Interestingly enough, only the full time missionaries attend with an investigator occasionally.  It was an incredible conference. We were so excited to hear about the Pocatello temple. Those people have prayed for years to have one there.
     We have an appointment in a few minutes. Keep the faith always. We are blessed to have the truth.
We love you all.

Elder & Sister Fisher.
