Family,
As a reply to your question ¨How is time flying in Ecuador?¨ my
responce is my favorite phrase, ¡HABLA SERIO! It is going by so fast
it is making me sick. For example. Every 6 weeks are changes. At
the end of this week the change will end. That means i only have 2
changes left until i hit the year mark. 13 weeks and i will be half
way done.
Anyways, this week was great! Ines, the mom of Jackson, Brayan,
Michael, and Genesis, got BAPTIZED. A little girl named Cristina also
got baptized. It was such a great night. Jackson was going to
baptize his mom but for some reason at the last second she got scared
and wanted me to do it. We couldn't convince her to let her son
baptize her so i quickly threw on Jackson's baptismal pants and did
the ordinance. I didn´t bring extra garments or a shirt or anything
because i wasn´t planning on doing a baptism. So i got to spend the
rest of the night in wet garments and a wet shirt. It was another
adventure. I was super happy though. I always have wanted to baptize
a big black lady! My next goal is baptize a 7 foot black man. He
would be too tall for the font so we would have to do it in a river.
:)
The next day, Sunday, they got confirmed. Also, Jackson gave a talk.
It was AWESOME! This family has so much charisma that they have no
problem giving a talk after being a member for 4 weeks. Brayan has
to give a talk in 2 weeks. After Jackson talked, the bishop called me
up to talk. I had no idea i was giving a talk. the second speaker
just didn't show up. I talked about missionary work of course. It
was fine.
So how did the Liberty Tennis team do this year?
Next time you send a package, if you could, talk to grandpa and send
pictures of me playing football and soccer. Lots of people want to
see pictures of that.
i can't think of any stories to tell. I don't pay a lot of attention
to cultural things. While my companion is taking pictures of giant
Catholic buildings or statues, i am just looking for a place to eat.
But if music counts as culture i am into that. There are lots of
songs i think are awesome and for sure will listen to them when i get
home.
anyways, that's what's new here in Ecuador.
Love,
Elder McRae
