4.30.12 Cuenca, Ecuador


Family,

I loved reading this email.  I love hearing about Dad and Gavin in
uncomfortable situations.  The lady giving her baby to Dad is too
much.  Gavin couldn't have even thought something like that up.  That is
awesome.  Mario is coming home in a couple weeks??? there is no way...
That has to be impossible.  That is crazy.

Changes are supposed to be today.  We didn't get a call though so
either we didn't get changed or they just haven't finished
organizing everything yet.  Today we found out that Manchester United
plays Manchester City at 2:30.  Luckily for us, Mondays, we are
allowed to eat at KFC which happens to have a huge HD TV showing FOX
Soccer Channel 24/7.  So we will just happen to go eat at KFC at 2:30
today.

Nothing crazy has happened this week.  We did a lot of contacting.  I
felt like i was serving a mission in Sweeden or something.  We found a
few new people though that we hope can progress in the gospel.

This sunday was conference, only in Ecuador, we didn't catch a lot of
it because we were running around like crazy trying to get people to
come to it.  But, we did catch the end of it.  Richard G. Scott was
speaking (in spanish) about the importance for the man to have a good
wife.  He shared a few stories that were great and i thought it
totally applied to Ecuador.  Of course it applies to everyone also.
He talked about how if it wasn't for his wife, he would not be in the
position he is in today.  So i will keep that in mind these 15 months.

I am super grateful to be out here on a mission.  There is no other
place on earth that i could be that would help me grow like i am now.
I have never doubted my testimony yet i can still feel it growing.
A lot of the things that i used to think were important, i can now see
how they really don't matter so much.  I am thankful for that
opportunity to grow.

As for my birthday, yeah the candy and stuff always arrives just fine.
 I can't think of anything i need.  Just those pictures that i
mentioned last time.  Maybe a new long sleeve white shirt.  I only
have one of those.  And if you buy any clothes, remember that i have
lost a ton of weight.  As a matter of fact, i had to nail a new whole
in my belt the other day.

Anyways, all is well here in Cuenca.
Love,
Elder McRae
