Family,
Life at home sounds pretty boring.
This week R got Baptized!! It
was so cool to see her slowly get more excited every day until the Saturday when
she got baptized. Her mom and brother went to the baptism and the
confirmation so I hope their hearts were softened a little bit. It was a great
baptismal service and R already seems like she’s been a member of her whole
life. Something that is always comforting to me is that I didn’t do
anything to make Ruddy get baptized. This is not my work or my glory.
It is all the Lord’s. No one can every say, that ¨I¨ baptized anyone.
Heavenly Father prepares His children in his time frame and by His ways.
Okay so Cameron`s letter was great.
That was some great info. I really am liking the idea of living in
Provo and going to whatever school. All my friends will be going to
different schools so I will be able to get to know lots of people (Girls) from
all over. From the pictures I saw of my old companion´s FHE group at BYU,
I was losing faith there. Anyways, like you said, there is more time to
think about that. But, apply me for BYU Provo, University of Utah, and
all Community Colleges in the Provo-Salt Lake Valley that have football teams.
I don’t want to have what happened to Cameron happen to me. I don’t
want to risk walking on at BYU and then not being able to play football for a
year. And by the way, the date is set in stone. President talked
about it with us. July 15th is our last day in the mission. We are
not allowed to extend.
To Cameron: The Lord kicks us
all in between the legs one day. It is part of being His child.
Everyone has to feel like they are a worthless steaming pile of cow-dung
or we can never grow. NEVER!!!!!!!!! And I know how you feel. When
can I just stop helping everyone else, and start helping myself?? haha.
NEVER!!!!!! That is life- buddy boy. It is called humility. I
have learned so much about humility here in Ecuador. You have to be able
to accept that you are nothing without the Savior, and if you want Him to help
YOU, then you have to help OTHERS. It is that simple. At the end of
the day, after you accept that lesson, you feel GREAT.
In March we will get the first batch
of 18-year-old boys and 19-year-old girls. 40 of them!! We will see
how that goes. Well, I can’t think of much more to say. Everything
is great here and I hope everything is going good there. From Cameron’s
letter it seems like people talk differently now...
Love,
Elder McRae
