12.26.11 Independencia, Ecuador

Family,

Yeah I can´t think of anything to write.  I hope I answered all your questions.  If you ever think of questions, just write them and I can respond to them.  Because like I said yesterday, the weird things just seem normal to me now.  Changes will probably be tomorrow so I will probably have a new companion or a new area or something like that to talk about with you guys next week.  Also, New Year’s is this week so we will probably be playing some more soccer in the house all day Saturday and Sunday.  

Oh, after we talked we were playing soccer and all of a sudden, the tile on the floor in the corner of the room just rose up and started cracking as if an earthquake happened.  We tried to figure out what happened but all we could think of was it’s just a poor, Ecuadorian building.  But it was crazy to see all of the tiles moving around on their own and then listening to the cracking sounds move through the floor.  We thought we were going to have to make an escape or something before the building collapsed on us but it was just the top layer of tile.  Still a fun experience.  Oh and Elder Curtis was on the phone with an investigator last night just going over some baptismal questions and things.  I heard him say, ¨¿Si, y donde vamos despues esta vida?¨ (Where do we go after this life?) then he looked at me, pretended to throw the phone out the window and said ¨Si... Y tambien vamos al mundo de los espiritus¨  (Yes... and also we go to the spirit world)  When he hung up the phone I asked him how it went and he laid on the floor and said ¨What´s wrong with these people!?¨ I asked why he was frustrated with the people, and he said, “i asked her where we go after this life and she said ¨A la Iglesia¨ (To church) I thought it was awesome because I have had so many experiences like that.  Anyways, now you guys know a little bit more about life on the other side of the border.

Merry Christmas,
Love,
Elder McRae
