12.3.12 Guayaquil (25 de Julio), Ecuador


Family,

It is nice to hear that everyone is doing well.  I did get changed.  I am now in a sector called 25 de Julio. It is in Guayaquil. My companion is Elder Muñoz.  He has been out 6 months and is from Colombia.  The sector is good.  It is still really hot.  
 
I felt really good all this week.  We worked really hard and hopefully our work pays off in the future.  We talked to tons of people and invited everyone we talked to to get baptized.  At the end of the week, we have narrowed our program down to 5 people who are sincerely interested in getting baptized.  One of them is named K.  Pray for her because she is 12 and is like a teeter-totter.  One day yes the other day no.  She is planning on getting baptized this weekend.  

I guess my grumpiness is a genetic trait I have received from Dad.  It really bugs me, but this week I haven’t felt anything like that.  I have been happy to be a missionary and life has been good.  I have seen the blessings that the Lord put it in our paths this week and I am very thankful for them.  

That is about all I have to report.  Barcelona, a club team here, won the Ecuadorian League for the first time in 14 years so the whole world down here was going crazy.  I saw people crying in the streets because they were so happy.  I think more than half of Ecuador are Barcelona fans.  

Love,

Elder McRae
