Hey ya'll! Was a good week this week. We didn't find a single new Investigator which is a really big bummer because we were feelin it this week! Trying to stay optimistic though! Teddy isn't doing too hot with the word of wisdom. That is literally the only thing holding him back! Ahhhh! Keep him in your prayers please! He really likes to go beyond the mark and complicated everything which is pretty frustrating but it is helping me teach SOOO simply so he just can't complicate it at all. He'll go on rants and we have to cut him off and it's just tough but he is slowing down on the cigarettes. Anywho, this week was the best because we had so many service opportunities! We got to help someone in the branch do some spring cleaning, and Jackson one of our investigators do some spring cleaning, help a lady in our branch break some furniture and throw it in the dumpster and then we stopped by this member in our branch's who is married to a Jehovah Witness and her calling is with the youth and they were doing a bake sale the next day and she was stressin so she asked if we could help her make a bunch of fudge and cakes and stuff so we did! And then she fed us! It was great! We've been spending a lot of time on campus and it has been really fun. There was this one guy we met that is so ready! His name is Rory and we talked to him right after class at 8pm. We stopped him as he was walking out and got to show him the Easter initiative and teach him all about the book of Mormon! He was super interested and said he needed more guidance in his life. Well he didn't feel comfortable giving us his number but we found him on FB and we have been able to keep in touch! Hopefully we can meet him next week! Oh this week we got to teach Aaronic priesthood and it was sweeeet! We got to teach about the importance of the Book of Mormon and did some role plays with the YM about how they would answer questions their friends might have! A couple of the YM told us that it helped a ton after the lesson. Ha ha I got a last minute invitation to give a 15 minute talk in sacrament meeting too! In Spanish! Wow. Ha I'm kidding but it is so much easier to give a little minute talk when your a missionary than when you're not 😂 I got to speak on Christ's love and I wish I recorded it but it went well! It's kinda nice speaking in a branch because you can actually see how they are taking your talk in so that was fun to see! I hope I get more speaking opportunities because I actually really like it. Well that's just about my week! I love you all! Elder Murray
