Okay this week was absolutely crazy. First of all yes i received one of the packages this week. I got the one with the peanut butter and the Liberty Jersey. The Jersey is awesome!! So you said grandpa wants to put money in my account. Between you guys, and grandpa, and whatever other family members want to contribute to my ¨Ecuador Jersey Fund¨ i need 60 dollars for an Official Long Sleeve Away Blue Ecuador Jersey. This is beautiful. I have been eyeing it in the mall the past two weeks. The mall, by the way, is amazing. It is gigantic. It is three stories and plays English Christmas music and when we’re there, it actually feels like Christmas. In independencia it never feels like Christmas. Anyways though, I love hearing about the stories from home. I remember that whole life was so fun. Gavin wanting to kill dad, traveling to soccer games, all that stuff.
So Friday night we passed by their house to confirm a time for the baptism the next day. They were going to be really busy so we were afraid that the baptism wouldn’t happen. It was about 7 30 or so and i said jokingly well lets just do it right now. Elder Sulla said that is a great idea. We sprinted to the chapel and back and got everything ready and I baptized Yamilet that same night. There was a party at the church that same night so about 30 people attended the baptism. It was such a great baptism. Everyone felt the spirit but especially the mom, Jessica. She said she didn’t know why she felt so good. She felt like God just took all her sorrow away that night. It was such a powerful experience. I felt so bad for Jessica because there are so many people out there who are rejecting the gospel. She actually understood it and excepted it, but couldn’t be baptized. But i know that she will do everything she can to make sure Yamilet grows up strong in the gospel.
Okay so if you want to call on Christmas Eve that is fine. You can call anytime after 4pm and before 7pm Ecuador time. Or if Sunday is better you can call from 3pm to 5pm. The number is 011-593-8-759-0259
Anyways, life is fun down here in Ecuador. We will be in the house all day the 24th, 25th, and 26th. It’s too dangerous to leave so be thankful for a happy Christmas with family, and toys, and xbox! oh and cold weather. IT IS SO HUMID HERE!!!
Love,
Elder McRae
