I am doing well. This week Elder Butler received his Christmas package and it was massive. His parents and family sent me some stuff too, which I thought was super nice of them to think of me. I am doing well in the realm of business and am awaiting a Christmas package from Grandma and Grandpa Gentry and the gift from Grandma and Grandpa Murray. Now for some cool stuff that happened this week.
One of the things we did this week was we had interviews with our mission president, which were super short. President has been making me sort of sad lately because he seems to have forgot my name he always calls me Elder Miller. I can't blame him though he has 208 or so missionaries and he only remembers the ones that either cause him problems or have some sort of circumstance. I was informed before interviews that the Senior Elder who I was going to sing with is sick and won't be able to sing for Zone Conference so I asked if I could sing with another Elder.
Friday the zone leaders had MLC or Mission Leadership Council so they dropped Elder Willis off with us. We burned this stuffed animal that was from a girl we are teaching who is trying to get away from her ex-boyfriend who is an abusive turd and also cheated on her. It felt good to burn it haha. She will be getting baptized on December 22, so we are super excited for her.
Saturday we did some cool stuff as well. That morning at around 7:30 am, we got a call that they needed help with a move and that they would come pick us up, so we went out to help move this lady in the ward. She needed to be out of her house by that afternoon so we loaded up her stuff and then went to the place where she was going to store it all. The place was some little crappy abandoned house in a little town called Ivanhoe and the walls of the place had tons of mold on them and the place was covered in dirt, so bishop was like "There is no way we can leave her stuff here." We took it to this member's second home where he doesn't have anything in his garage. The crazy part was that we had a baptism at 10:00 for this kid we had taught who turned 8 and we wanted to go to it even though it was a stake baptism. Our friend was coming to it, so we needed to be there so we had to change in like 5 minutes and rush over there. We ended up making it on time and all went well. Later that same day, we went to this lunch in that he had for his baptism and his birthday.
Saturday we also went and sang at another retirement home and we talked to some old people which is always fun. The most fun thing to do is talk to old people who speak Spanish because you have to strain to hear them and they are always surprised that you speak their language.
Sunday we had stake conference which was cool. Our former bishop got called to be in the stake presidency after only a week of being released from bishop which was pretty cool for us because we knew him. I listened to the Spanish translation for some of the time because I like to practice my Spanish and I like to her how the translators translate the stuff. It really is interesting.
Other than that this week we have been sharing a lot of Lighttheworld with the people we meet and those we are teaching and inviting them to invite their friends to the special sacrament that we are going to have the 23rd of December. Entonces I would also like to invite you all to invite those that are your friends or maybe your cheer group or anyone that you know to come to the special sacrament meeting on the 23rd of December and tell me how it goes!
I love you all and wish you the best and look forward to hearing from some of you soon in the Christmas Video call!
Love,
Elder David Bruce Murray
