No pictures this week... Elder Murrays device broke... so here is one from the past with one of his missionary buddies (Elder Vincent in the front) that is serving in Armenia. Go Elders!! So you probably don’t remember but one of our investigators named Reynaldo is on baptismal date for the 25 of Feb! He has been meeting with us for 3 weeks and has come to church for the past 2 weeks which is almost unheard of in Yonkers because Literally nobody has cars. Well he is super committed and it is so awesome. This area has become awesome in the last couple weeks! Last night we had this incredible lesson with the Collazo family. So Sister Johnsons’ sister passed away and her son was getting VERY poorly treated by his dad. So the Johnson (name changed to keep their personal life personal (-:) family is helping him (the nephew) get his life together because he doesn’t know what he is doing. The Johnson family has their own story but they are amazing just to give you a little info on them, Brother Johnson was a part of every gang in Yonkers, has done every drug there is to do, has been thrown in jail just over 25 times and now he is married, sealed in the temple, has 4 kids and loves his life. I so wish you could meet these people!! They are a real example of the enabling power of the atonement! Anyway we planned to teach the nephew the plan of salvation and it was one of the most powerful lessons I have experienced. Have you had lessons where things just get brought back to your memory from forever ago? By the time the lesson is over you have no idea what you said? Ahh that is what this lesson was like and by the end this 15 year old kid was in tears and he is coming to church next week!! Missions are AWESOME!!!
I love and appreciate you all!! Elder Murray
