Well, this will be short because we will be talking in like, 2 days anyway. But i just wanted to give an update about current investigators.
Right now we have only a handful of really solid people who are seeking for the truth. A lot of the people we have found in the last few weeks have kinda just slipped through the cracks. However, 4 of our investigators are SOO AWESOME! I love them a ton. The first is still the man we met last week.. his sisters son got caught by the police for doing "something"; i didnt ask what it was. So hes currently comforting his sister and is out of town. It was kind of a double edged sword (that phrase actually exists in thai) because although he was out of town and hadnt told his family about learning the gospel, he told me, "i havent told them that i am going to change and go Christian" ahahha.. So at least we still know where his desires are for the most part. Not sure when he will be back but he said hes had the Book of Mormon in his back since we gave it to him.
The next is a new man that we met and his name is @. Yes, that is the symbol for the word at. He was found at English this week and was just glowing with that "please help me i want to be christian!" look on his face... you know that one dont you? Anyway, last night he asked us very early on in the appointment, "so, ive been wondering what i have to do in order to kind of.. you know, become christian?" hahah, well that couldnt have been an easier seg way into Baptism. Needless to say, he has a baptismal date for the 30th of June. And yes, that is the same day as the first investigator, SuPab, and also the first sunday after im gone. Both intentional and not so intentional. On one hand, the spirit told us that day, and 2 i kinda just dont want to try and get everyone baptized on my LAST week as if its like a celebration or something.. just get em baptized when their ready and im happy! Ill see myself in the picture anyway (or Josh can photoshop me in haha).
The next 2.. oh man! I love you Erika! I feel like you prepared me for people like these 2.. they are both about your age (however they are single) and just kinda have the same personality. I dont know how to describe, but i see you in them! Its really easy to teach them and i feel like they really are my sisters! The first is named Jiab, and the second is rabbit. What was superb was that they both came late to church (i know, your asking yourself "uh, elder gudmundsen what are you stupid, how is that anything close to superb", right? im getting to it!) and as they were waiting outside, they sat next to each other. Then, when they walked in, i watched them sit down together again! They also sat next to each other the following 2 and half hours as well! They looked like best friends, seriously. You know what was way cool? Both of them were wearing the most modest clothing of anyone at church; dresses down to their ankles! Take that immodesty! Ill probably tell you more about them in later emails, or on monday, but i see them both getting baptized soon.
Anyway, ill keep it at this.. oh, by the way, it was zone conference this past week and i got to give my final testimony :(
