Hello family
Well we got a baptism! Hahahaha yah,
yah well we didn’t get to baptize the dad but we baptized the son. There was a
cool thing that happened also this Sunday I gave the Melchzidek Priesthood to
Paulo! That was a really cool experience also! So Sunday was super, super,
super hectic like everyone forgot about the baptism and Paulo had the clothes
of my companion in his car and Paulo had to leave and take this lady home that
was sick like I don’t like this lady at all she just uses the church to pay for
things and she doesn’t have respect for any one and she is like Bi-polar and I
really don’t like her! But in the end it all worked out which is a good thing!
well what happened at the ordination of Paulo so he got back late and the Stake
President left and was like well I am not going to wait here and all this stuff
it was super annoying and it just goes to show that the leadership here is
super lame! But Paulo came in, me, a stake councilor, the bishop and his like
2nd counselor walk in to! The stake dude was like Paulo who would you like to
give you the priesthood and he was like well Elder Gray and I was like oh yah! But
everyone else in the room looked sad and deceived but it went well I really
liked it first time giving priesthood to some one was super cool! Well this
week was a little hard for us not a lot of things went our way! Like everything
that we planned fell through and Elder Stout became like super shut off like he
isn’t talking as much any more and that makes me a little bit worried! But I
will see if I can figure it out! Also I was thinking how many real friends do I
actually have and I thought to my self I really don’t have that many here in
the mission and in my personal life and I decided that if someone that says
good things in front of me and then when I turn my back they talk bad about me
its over I wont be their friend anymore! I also read that article in the Liahonna
about friends and that made a lot of sense and I will put that to work! But I
will see how this week goes will be interesting to see if we can find some more
people that we can teach and that we can invite to be baptized and help them
enter in the right pathway! Oh yah about that dad that didn’t get baptized well
I was talking to him last night and he said that the church is way to basic for
him that he is on a totally different spiritual level and I started laughing
super hard because it’s super funny because he can’t even like rap his mind
around the simple things! He has a problem about the people on fast Sunday that
get up there and bare there testimony sometimes about the same thing! and I was
like well why don’t you get up there and bear your testimony about something
that you know that is true and he was like what and I said it again and he was
like no there is no way! And then I started to laugh even harder and asked him
do you know the Book of Mormon is true and he was like yes I do and I asked him
how do you know that is true? You haven’t read it you haven’t prayed about it
so there is no way that you can really know it’s true! And he was quiet and I
was like it is a little hard to be on a different spiritual level when you don’t
even know that the basic things of our church is true! So we will see if he
will read it and actually start progressing in his life! But that is good to
hear that dad got back safely and that everything is going well for him and for
the rest of the family! I can’t wait to talk to you guys here in a little bit
it will be so much fun! I love you guys to death have a great week! Love you
guys!
Love
Elder Gray
