7-11!!

In case you didnt realize it, tomorrow is july eleventh- 7-11! Go get your free slurpees! If they do it here in thailand i will be having many a slurpee.

So.. uhh, another week for the books. But i think its better if i let you add this one to the books AFTER my mission.. im sure it will make you feel a little more at peace if i dont tell you :) hahah now arent you just dying to know!? Bummer............... dont worry, we're fine.

Of things that matter, we almost have 2 new investigators as baptismal candidates. The first, my kid and Elder Heslop from the other companionship, found while on exchanges. Before they even finished the invite he said he was intereested and let them right in. He accepted the baptismal invite, with a date, before they left, for the 21st of August. Pretty sweet eh? Yeah, until he didnt pick up his phone and wasnt there when we went back. bummer. We called a bunch and went to his house anyway (and may or may not have seen him in his house NOT opening the door) and he finally CHANGED his answering machine sunday morning to tell us hes super busy but that, "ill meet you at Church on the 21st and we'l take it from there". Yeah.. haha i think he may have misunderstood a little; you have to know what you are doing first! So, i still have yet to meet him, but from what i hear hes got some great potential. Hes a nice kid, about 19 years old, and his name is Bop. We'll keep following up and try to meet him to PREPARE him for baptism. Yesterday we meet A SEED! A SUPER sweet kid that was back in Elder Charits age.. about last year :) .. we find him just out of nowhere and he said that hes been wanting to go back to Church but just needed like an alarm to get him back into it. He pretty much asked to be baptized. The only reason he doesnt have a date yet is because he wants to let his family know what he plans to do to see how they will react.. but hes pretty set on doing it anyway. Im still not really sure what happened a year ago as to why he was dropped or stopped learning, but hes seriously golden man.. like, he knows that God lives and Jesus is his savior (and that we cant do anything in this life entirely on our own) and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God (werd). We will meet him today and solidify that date. Chill!

So other than this we had a VERY fun week.. and by fun i mean "another one for the books". hah should i jsut tell you? Nah. Its cool. Patience is a virture. Ill say simply this: 3 Nephi 22:17. Enjoy :)

So Elder Revelli and I are doing swell.. hes legit and super into the work. Hes not stubborn or disobedient so we dont have to worry about chasitzing or any unfun stuff like that.. we just work and work and work. I know for Elder Crowley, my dad, it was work with a lot of "listen to Elder Gudmundsen complain about the heat and about work, and in turn not complain to anyone and just keep it inside cause you are a saint and as patient as someone watching trees grow." Yeah.. something like that. Hes fun. We've been doing a lot of inviting and a lot of pounding pavement.. dont you just love when you are standing still and you feel that warm drop(s) of sweat fall down your back? Can i have some more? We had a hilarious little nugget obey his mom and "shut the door" very, very VERY slowly while staring at us.. he was adorable! Too bad.

Not really much else going on.. The work is great.. a little slow at times, but great. The Book of Mormon? So true.. all of it. I love it. Just let it do the teaching for me! Have fun! Go get your slurpees and enjoy Harry Potter.

Love, Elder Good
