Hmmm...well this week was interesting.
I will start I guess by telling you about our new investigator that we found to teach. Last Monday
we were shopping and a guy named Cruz came up to us thinking that we
were salesman for the store. We told him we were missionaries for the
church. He then went on telling us about his belief in god and all his
stories about being possessed by demons and stuff. He is very good at
feeling the spirit. After he told us he agreed to take the lessons. We
have taught him twice and he came to church. We will teach him again on Thursday.
It was such an interesting experience with him. Also, it has been
really cool to see him learn more about the church. He doesn't accept
all the ideas every time, but he says that he feels the spirit when we
teach him which is sweet.
Bob is still planning on being baptized on the
16th. He is such an awesome guy. Now that he has the tools and a
foundation of the gospel I think as he continues learning I could see
him being a future bishop one day. He has a thirst for knowledge and he
realizes how simple and logical the gospel really is. He is married to a
member and that's how he found the church. He is also very excited for
his baptism. We took him to a baptism in another ward to show him
what it was like. He didn't have many questions, which is good, because
that means he understands. I am excited.
An experience that happened to me yesterday
that was good and bad. We were talking with these members and after
making a few connections with them I asked if they had any relatives
that lived on Emerson Ave. They said no. I then tried to tell them which
of our relatives lived there and I couldn't remember at all. That is a
good thing, because that means that my mind is in doing missionary work. It is pretty obvious why it's a bad thing.
I later remembered who it was. It is pretty weird, because just like
that experience I can slowly feel my life at home fade away. Have you
guys realized that I have been in this ward in West Linn longer than our
ward at home?
Elder Lloyd and I are getting along great! It's
funny because when Elder Manwill and I tracted we wouldn't usually go
back and follow-up. We just wrote down the people that sounded
interested in what we had to say. Now Elder Lloyd and I are basically going
around to all of them and following-up to see if they read the BoM or
whatever. There have been some people that possibly will end up taking
the lesson, but none quite yet. A lot of stuff in the works.
What else happened...
I guess that is it. Umm thanks for the prayers.
OK bye
Love, Elder Udy
