Hey Hey Hey. This week has
been a pretty standard week. There were some interesting changes though so we
will see how things go. Because of transfers, we didn't really get to do as
much work as we would have liked, but all is well. I am glad things are going
well back home. I am jealous that summer is starting up for you guys! The
humidity is picking up here. Just like the winter, the actual temperature has
no indication of how the weather really feels. I am becoming more and more
grateful for air conditioning and deodorant. What a blessing.
So I am kinda bummed to say
that Elder Cline got transferred this week. I was sad to see him go. We sure
had a lot of fun together. He moved out to Mason City, Iowa. I sure am going to
miss him. The cool thing though is that we will be going home together so we
definitely will be around each other again. My new companion's name is Elder
Youngstrom from Idaho Falls. He is a super funny kid and he is a crazy artist.
He is currently drawing a picture of me and my dream girl, Rapunzel from
Tangled. I will make sure to send you guys a picture when he is done. We are
pretty different, but I am excited to learn from him. He has been out for nineteen months.
There was a couple of
pretty unfortunate things happen this week that put a damper on the work. Our
investigator D didn't come to church for the third week in a row. we are going
to have to postpone her baptism a little bit. She told us she is ready to go,
but has a hard time getting rides to church. Definitely keep her in your
prayers this upcoming week. She needs to get baptized! We had awesome lesson
with another one of our investigators C. We taught him the Gospel of Jesus
Christ from 2 Nephi 31. We had an emphasis on the spirit and he opened up and
told us that he was starting to realize the truth of our message. He told us
that he feels the spirit and he is excited to work towards his baptism date of
July 22. We found an African investigator from a new country this week. His
name is M and is from Chad. We are teaching people from like ten different
countries right now. Who knew?
I am starting to recognize
a pattern here in my mission. It seems like every Sunday night, when we are
about to go in, we end up finding an investigator on the last door of the day. Obviously,
no coincidence. Yesterday was an interesting one. We approached the door and I
was convinced that no matter what, this guy was going to be a new investigator.
When he opened the door and came outside he was literally wearing nothing but a
tiny pair of boxer briefs. He proudly came outside and talked to us as he
rubbed his hairy belly and wiped the tired out of his eyes. As we talked to him,
he said he was down to have us come back and teach him. I invited him to be
baptized and he even accepted. Hopefully he dresses a little bit more modest
when he comes to church. I don't think the Relief Society would appreciate
that.
Unfortunately, that is all
the real highlights of the week. We did find a street called "Chandler
Street" and of course we knocked it. No success really, but we did have a
Christian singer give us his CD. I can't wait for August 2018 when I can put
that bad boy in and jam.
Have a great week this
week. I love you.
Elder Obray
