Family,
First
of all I am so glad I didn´t waste time going to school before my mission.
It would have been just that, a WASTE OF TIME. The way I looked at
school then, and the way I look at it now has changed 100%. I was talking
to another missionary who will be going home one week before me and we were
talking about the different perspective that we now have as ‘almost’ return
missionaries. For example, Commandments. (not the 10 commandments,
but things like not watch tv on Sunday, don’t listen to bad music, don’t have a
girlfriend) I looked at the commandments as impossible, picture-perfect rules
that no one could actually obey, and there was no real punishment for not
obeying them. Oh, and you could excuse yourself from obeying them.
Now the difference in my perspective is that they are COMMANDMENTS! You
have to obey them. If you don’t, you will be held accountable and will be
punished, and will feel bad for not obeying them. It is a new
perspective, or God´s perspective.
SO
anyways, we brought seven people to church yesterday. The mission
president randomly showed up to our ward to speak. So we were relieved
that we brought a good number of people to church. Jose will be getting
baptized this Saturday. It is my companion’s first baptism in his 2
months here. Also, there is a little girl who finally convinced her dad
to let her get baptized, so we are hoping to baptize her as well this week.
I can’t
think of much more to report on. Today we are going to try and play ping
pong in the church with some members.
Love,
Elder McRae
