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

I Shook His Hand!

Hi y'all!


This week's been pretty long because it's Wednesday instead of Monday that I'm emailing because Elder Gong from the 12 Apostles came and visited us on Monday so they moved our P day to today!


So last Tuesday was transfers and so we went there and a bunch of other people I know and love were training as well so it was cool to be in the meeting with them! We got our new trainees and it was a good time! My new companion's name is Elder Jessee from San Clemente California! He's pretty cool!


This week went by pretty fast! We went out with CJ in Muldrough and went finding for a few hours on Thursday and we found this guy who had been taught by the missionaries before and had some concerns and sat down with him and helped him resolve those concerns. It was a pretty good lesson. This Sunday we had Tawnie and her family (the family the Spirit led us to in Muldrough a while ago) come to church! There were lots of other things that happened too, but a lot of missionary work is just driving or walking from place to place and doing studying and filling out reports and stuff... So that's a lot of what we did this week, but we had some pretty good lessons with other people as well!


On Monday, Elder Gong came and spoke to the missionaries and he shook all of our hands and stared into our soul and asked us where we were from and what our name was. It was pretty sweet! Then he talked to us about missionary work and stuff like that! It was really cool though! Everything's all good here in B-Burg. Hope y'all are doing good too! Love yous!


Love,

Elder Stephen Ray
