3.31.13 Pasaje, Ecuador


Family,

This week Satan worked so hard to ruin all our plans.  The mission had more than 300 baptisms this months which is a record for the mission and possibly the world.  A few months ago, we were the number 1 baptizing mission in the world.  I think this month we were too.  

We have basically baptized all our investigators now, so we have a lot of work to do.  We need to find people who are prepared to change their lives.  

Maria got baptized on Saturday.  It was a very difficult baptism because she was locked inside her work until 8 o’clock.  She was literally LOCKED inside.  She couldn’t leave until her boss, who was sick and in the emergency room, came to open the door.  But he got out around 8 30 at night and we had the baptism.  So that was a very stressful night. The only Easter celebration here was a parade of Catholics holding a bunch of images all over the town.  Other than that, the people got drunk and partied like they do for all holidays.  

I don’t have much more to report.  Everyone is happy and doing well.  My companion doesn’t have blisters anymore, and he doesn’t complain as much about walking fast.  He has lost 6 pounds already.  

Love,

Elder McRae
