Week 2 in Raymond
July 22, 2013
Welcome to Raymond
My week this week was amazing. We put one of our investigators, Terry on date for this Saturday. He is awesome, he even gave up chewing tobacco in a couple days so he can get baptized Saturday. He is an ex-trucker. Owned his own rig and everything but had to retire because of health problems. We also have been teaching this guy named Layton Woodruff (descendant of Wilford Woodruff) and he has been making a ton of progress. Both of these people came to church on Sunday which is awesome. There is this family in the ward with a non-member husband and he has been coming to church for the past year faithfully. We went over yesterday and talked to him about baptism and he wants to work towards it. We taught him the first lesson and he promised to start reading the Book of Mormon. His wife is super funny and blunt. She kept saying things like "You're pretty much already Mormon, Honey, just pull the trigger." The ward here is pretty great and they have been doing a great job of fellowshipping the investigators for the most part. Raymond has definitely been good to us.
Elder Webber and I talk about how we are pretty sure our moms talk to each other and you confirmed our suspicions. Haha Elder Webbers a great missionary and we get along great! I am hoping I get to stay at least another transfer with him because he is pretty darn rad. Plus we have so much work to do.
We live above a garage that is detached from the house of one of the members. They have a pretty big house so the reason it wasn't on google earth was it must just need to be updated. They are called the Anglovich family and they're great. I got to help milk their cow the other night. They had a milking machine so it wasn't too hard. They have two young daughters that always knock on our door in the morning and talk to us. They are so cute! They painted us pictures the other day. Sister Anglovich is likely going to have a baby this week as well.

It is ridiculously beautiful here. We drive to West Port at least once a week because we technically cover there too and the drive is along the coast. It is the coolest drive in the world. It seriously is a rain forest here.
Have fun rock climbing. Make mom try!
Thank you so much for the package Mom! We both really appreciated it. Next package would you mind sending me my gray Neff beanie? Thanks I love you!

There's these creepy statues all over Raymond. This one takes the cake though.
