5.7.12 Cuenca, Ecuador

Family,

Before I forget… call me Sunday at 5pm Ecuadorian time. 

Okay,  This week was one of the fastest weeks of my life. I can’t believe that I am writing again.  On Tuesday, I was working in the sector Las Americas, Wednesday I had an interview in Los Alamos, and Friday we spent all day searching for a baptismal candidate in Los Alamos.  So we didn´t do a lot of working in our sector.  This is the life of a district leader.  I actually love doing interviews.  It is my favorite part I think.  I can always feel the spirit working within me.  I think it is a moment so important that God can´t afford to have it done wrong.  I can always feel him guiding me and putting words into my mouth for me.  I love that feeling. 

When we actually were in our sector, we made a lot of phone calls.  We have a few referrals from other missionaries but we don’t know where they live and they never have time to listen to us.  So we are constantly calling them to find out when we can pass by.  We will see how that goes. 

Yesterday, we taught a student who is here from Haiti.  It is funny because my native tongue is not Spanish, his Native language is not Spanish, yet we can communicate to each other by using Spanish.  He is preparing to be baptized.

Anyways that is everything new.  The Tapia Family is doing great.  Michael bore his testimony yesterday.  We have to focus on finding new people.

I heard Scotland plays the US at the end of this month.

I will talk to you guys Sunday at 5pm.

Love,
Elder McRae
