1.27.13 Gomez Rendon, Ecuador


Family,

Okay, so this week was good but we didn’t bring any investigators to church so that was a big setback.  

The story of the week.  An old lady was sitting behind us in sacrament meeting when her phone rang.  She freaked out and just pushed every button to try and turn it off. She had no idea how to use her brand new touch screen phone that her daughter bought her.  So, as she frantically pushed all the buttons, she activated the MP3 part of her phone.  Since it was her daughter’s old phone, it began to play some hard core rap song.  (This is all happening during the ordinance of the sacrament.)  So she doesn’t know how to stop the music, or turn the phone off, so everyone looks back to see who is playing that kind of music in sacrament.  So I take the phone from her and sneak out the back door really quickly- because we were almost all the way in the back.  I finally turned the phone off after we realized we had to slide it open to activate all the buttons.  So we went back into the meeting and everything was normal.  When church ended, almost all the members came up to us to tell us how bad of an example we are and how they couldn’t believe that 1. our phone went off in sacrament… and 2. that we had that kind of music on our phone.  The only thing anyone saw was me leave with the phone so they all expected that it was our phone. It was great.  Even the bishop and the counselors thought it was us.  But after we explained the story to everyone, we all had a good laugh.  But still pretty crazy.  Anyway, I am going to work on these college application essay topics now.  

Love,

Elder McRae
