Well everyone, things are doing pretty good here in Madera, but everything is honestly starting to get pretty repetitive and the weeks are blurring together. I still have a lot of fun and I love most of the people here. Good thing I am due for a change. This week we got transfer calls and I am going to stay here in Madera but my companion is changing. His name will now be Elder Vargas. I don't know how things will go but as long as I put my trust in the Lord, I am sure everything will be okay.
Monday - this week we played sports like always and we had a district meeting on how to effectively use our technology. It was really cool.
The next day was Tuesday and we taught the last English class that me and Elder Lilly will teach together, which was fun. We got a member to bring some food for everyone, which was cool. We also had two of our investigator kids come to mutual that night which was pretty awesome.
Wednesday was a pretty crazy day. We had studies in the morning and then worked in the Vineyard in the afternoon, which was super super hot. We were driving in stakes to keep the grapes up. That night we had a missionary coordination meeting which was cut short by an emergency that we had to help out with, but in the end everything worked out and we were only two minutes late back the the house, so we were all right.
Thursday was a cool day. We had a meeting with our most progressing investigator that night and she had had a spiritual experience and knew that she needed to be baptised in our church. She choose a date two weeks from now so all we have to do is get her married and we should be on track for the baptism! Easy right? Not really, but anything is possible with the Lord's help.
Friday, we did some weekly planning which was good and then we had dinner with one of my favorite families. We also taught some good lessons that night.
Saturday was a really fun day. We had an activity for the Primary but everyone was invited and we got almost three families of investigators there. If only we could get that many to church. It was a great activity though and I won the egg race which was fun, haha.
Sunday was a good day. We had a missionary-centered sacrament meeting which was awesome. That night we learned the second half of our transfer calls so we know what we are doing and where we are going now.
Anyways, I love this work and I love this gospel. This week I reread President Nelson's talk about the Book of Mormon from the last General Conference in October and I loved it. I invite you to read it again. I love you all.
Love,
Elder Murray
