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
