First of all, business. I changed my picture settings so you should be able to see those now. They are pretty old now, so idk. Second, I still do not have a charge cord for my camera so idk what's going on there. Last of all, keep it real.
Okay, now for the week. Tuesday, we had another English class which was pretty cool. I really don't remember it all that much. Wednesday was pretty cool too. We met a cool family that actually ended up being sort of turds but that is a story for Saturday. Then I had missionary coordination meeting that night. We are really focusing on one person this week, trying to help them progress to baptism. Then Thursday came and that was a pretty good day. That morning we did some service for a small Mexican lady that talks really fast and she gave us smoothies that were kinda good. We did it with a recent convert named Jose, who has been in an out of prison for 7 years, which if I told you that you would probably think that he was buff and pretty scary which is actually very opposite of what Jose really is, but we love him. Then we tried to visit the many Marias that we have as investigators and none of them were home. We had another English class that night which was pretty good. We taught the alphabet and went over the "I am a child of God" the hymn. The next day was Friday and we taught some investigators with interesting stories and didn't get around to teaching that one family I talked about cause we went by too late. The next day was Saturday and we went to teach the family and the dad yelled at us for like 5 minutes in Spanish then told us he was going to stay Catholic until he died. Sorta upsetting. We are planning on giving him cupcakes today or tomorrow. That night we went to stake conference with two recent converts which was really cool because it talked all about missionary work and why seniors should serve a mission. I was thinking about my great Grandparents Murray the whole time. Then the next day we had new stake conference which we watched in Spanish and it was sort of a weird theme. It was women of faith so that was interesting because I haven't really had that before. The translation sucked though, so it wasn't great. After that we visited a women in the hospital with a member and it was a super cool experience. We got to see the power of prayer first hand. Today we have a movie night for family home evening and I am pumped!
I love each and every one of you. I invite all of you to be better member missionaries this week. Try going out with the missionaries in your ward or sharing your testimony with those around you in every day life. I cannot begin to explain how much things like that help the missionaries find prepared people and I wish ever day that I would have been a better member missionary in my ward.
Love,
Elder Murray
