Looking forward to another baptism‏

Oh Familio,

The picture is our new car:) Well, This week was pretty good. I'm begining to learn the area a lot better and meeting all our investigators. There are still a few I haven't met yet. Anywho, root to boot. Yup, some interesting people here in Oklahoma, with some interesting sayings. So, Max De Silva is 19 and committed to be baptized next month. I'm going to miss Jim's baptism in Guthrie, but we have a few others here that, I hope, I can help along the way. So far its just Max and he has really bad anxieties about large groups of people, so we gave him tour of the church last week and its great because the temple is right behind the church, so we walked around the temple as well. He seems pretty excited about becoming a member and is going forward with faith that he won't have too bad of anxieties when he comes to church.There is also another part-member family we've been teaching and he really wants to be baptized too, but he's on probation, so we have to get permission first. Its hard to help him understand why we go through these steps, but he's taking what we give him and walking into it with his head up. He kind of feels like we are trying to find ways he can't become a member...far from right, but we're working through it.The weather here makes people really funny. They either have no concern at all for the weather or they get scared and nervous over the weather man. On Sunday we were eating at a member's home and they turned on the weather because a storm was coming in and the quote of the day is..."This is nothing, but serious, people." I felt like singing "its the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine." We got some rain...kind of like St. George gets rain...yup that's nothing, but serious, people." Anywho, root to boot. Got to love Oklahoma!Love ya! -Elder Osness
