Family,
This week, like most weeks, had its
ups and downs. The coolest part is that we had another baptism. G, D
and B`s cousin, got baptized Saturday. Monday was really the first time
we talked to her. She had attended church twice and two baptismal
services. So Monday we asked her if she wanted to get baptized this
Saturday and she said of course. Easiest baptism ever! It was great
though. She is 18 and has a 2 year old son. She was great because
even though she is a little timid she understands everything very well.
Today should have been changes but I
think they are going to do them tomorrow so I still don’t know where I am going
to be for these next six weeks. Whether it is here or somewhere else, I
really wouldn’t mind. I do like this ward, but I think I am at the point
where I am just willing to do whatever the Lord calls me to do. I really
have gained a testimony that this work is guided by him and not anyone else.
Sometimes I hear missionaries say, ¨What is this Mission President thinking?
Why did he change me? or Why didn’t he change me?¨ And I feel sad to hear
them say that because I wish they would understand that everything he does is by
100% revelation. But anyway, so tomorrow I should know where I will be
and with who.
Speaking of sister missionaries and
their funny stories. I have 3 sister missionaries in my district.
Sister M has very little time in the mission and she is always happy and
super innocent. Anyway, the other day in the district meeting, she asked
me something and I guess I responded very coldly. I still don`t even
remember this happening… but today in the morning, my companion told me this
story. He said that after I answered her question, she apologized to me
because she thought I was mad or something. I didn`t even notice her
apology or anything. So I guess she felt bad the whole day because she
thought I was angry at her or something. My companion swears I answered
her with some one-word cold response. I don`t remember anything but today
she asked my companion if I was still mad at her and she told him this whole
story. So basically, here’s my point - sometimes the sister missionaries
are not used to someone talking to them how Elder McRae talks to people.
I don`t even notice that I look or sound angry when I talk to people but I
guess sometimes I give off that kind of impression.
Anyway, it was a good week.
This week we won`t have any baptisms but hopefully the next week we will.
Love,
Elder McRae
