Yea so I think my visa stuff is all done now. Shouldn't need to worry about that for the rest of my mission. Hurray.
This week was a pretty decent week. Pretty fun, interesting and such things.
On Monday, we ate stuffed pumpkins for lunch that a member cooked up for us. The pumpkins were a lot smaller then our Halloween pumpkins, but they were pumpkins, ha ha. Then we had a lesson with Melina and her family. We are going over the lessons with her again.Then on Tuesday, we had district meeting, then we went out and worked all day with our mission leader. We didn't have a whole lot happen. He showed us/we tried, a bunch of old investigators and people he knows, but we didn't get any new investigators. Sometimes that's just how it is.
Wednesday, well, we found out a kid in our zone went home :( so we were a bit sad, I didn't really know him. But still, can't say I know a whole lot more then that. We went and visited Antonia and gave her a few church books. They have a ¨new member kit¨ that we bought and gave to her. So she has lots to do now ha ha. Then we went and talked to Gustavo and Alberto, we dropped them, so we wont really visit them anymore cause they wont progress. Then we visited Nerina. She was doing alright. She said she would go to the baptism of Gaby and Natalia. So that was good.
Thursday, Elder Wagner cooked us up some spicy tacos for lunch. They eat spicy in Texas apparently. Well at least he does. We talked to Pedroa who is a menos activo. He was doing better. He read some from the Book of Mormon at least, but still struggles to go to church. Then we had good little lesson with Gaby and Natalia to help get them ready for baptism. We talked about what would happen step for step. So that they would feel a bit more comfortable. Then we went out and got the clothes ready for the baptism. So that was good.
Friday, we spent almost all day getting things ready for the baptism. We made a cake for it, and had to fill the font and such, so we had lots and lots to do, ha ha. We did spend a few minutes out with the ward mission leader again, with the same results as before. Then we had the baptism of Gaby and Natalia, which went well. I can't send pictures to you yet, but you'll get them soon. Gaby had a really long dress, well it's just cause she is really short, ha ha. So when she was getting baptized I had to do it several times cause her long dress would bubble up, ha ha. But really the baptism went super well. They both liked it a lot and felt the Spirit. Then we had a noche de hogar with our barrio. They young women were in charge. They did skit practices. They had everyone practice passing a pass along card. It was a really fun little activity. Especially for us missionaries.
Saturday, we went to General Pico to watch conference by satellite. In English yea! So conference was really good. They had some awesome stuff. I really like Elder Nelsons comparison thing. Where he said something like, You can't have an explosion in a workshop and get a dictionary. I laughed good when I heard that one. They had some great talks about the need to get baptized and lots on families which was great. I really liked it. I forgot to bring my notebook to the cyber so I don't remember very many things in specific. But Conference really makes me want to try harder, ha ha.
Sunday, we went to conference again. Yea! It was great. Then that night we ate an asasdo with member family in General Pico. Which was super good.
And today we are still in Pico with the other Elders, we go back to Castex tomorrow.
So that's our week. It went alright. We learned lots. I must say, at this point we are just out looking for investigators. So far without much success, but sometimes the people just like to harden there hearts to challenge us a bit more, ha ha. So we will keep working hard.
Have a good week.
Love
Elder Obray
