And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth
nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; 1 Nephi 17:3

The Book of get off my porch

February 5, 2018

Howdy y'all!

So this week went by pretty fast we had a lot more rejection than usual this week which was pretty funny. Some of my favorites this week are "my ex wife was Mormon and that's enough reason to stay away," and "The Book of Mormon is a cult" "where did you hear that?" "It says right at the beginning of the book" "what book?" "The book of get off my porch." It was pretty exciting. We had zone conference in Indiana on Thursday so that was fun! Then I went on exchange with Elder Elias who is awesome and we found some new investigators and taught some pretty awesome lessons.

We had two great lessons with the Wards this week about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of Wisdom and they had no problems with any of it! Gerry, the mom, had the opportunity to change shifts and there were some that interfered with coming to church and so she decided not to take them because she wanted to come to church! It was awesome! I strongly believe they will get baptized so that's super exciting for me!

The weather is slowly getting warmer over here and I can't wait for March because it's going to be really beautiful and nice outside. I'm doing perfectly fine over here, I'm just a little tired.  There's a huge building in Frankfort that's scheduled for implosion on March 11 so hopefully I will be here for that and that I can actually see it happen in person. I'm including a before picture of the building so y'all can see how awesome it's going to be. We found a picture of a cheetah on the side of the road so now it's hanging in our apartment. Also some members let us use their massage chair sometimes. I love all y'all and miss you too!

Love,
Elder Stephen Ray
