Family,
This week we are focused on stake
conference. We want to bring lots of people to the conference and
hopefully be able to put a few baptismal dates after the service.
Barcelona beat Emelec again this weekend. (el classico)
Emelec never beat Barcelona in my two years here so that kinda
stinks.
There has been a lot of changes to
the missions that are kind of weird and they make me feel really old.
There are now sister leaders in the mission which, I guess, is cool.
We are also aloud to write anyone we want. That doesn’t really
matter that much to me, since I am just trying to stay focused until the end of
my mission. I received a couple emails from other missionaries and
basically told them not to bug me for 8 more weeks. I even got an email
from Senaka. It was nice that she remembered me, but I told her basically
the same thing… that I was happy for her choice to serve a mission and
that I would write her in a couple months. The mission’s end comes very
fast. I have to take advantage of every second it.
Before my mission, I couldn’t tell
anyone that I loved them or that I appreciate them - not even my own family.
But every day, I tell a bunch of Ecuadorians that I love them. I have
learned to love people. Not just Ecuadorians but all people. It is a
lot easier for me to say, ‘hey, I really appreciate everything you do, I love
you and I want you to know that I love you.’ I knew I would love the
people I served but I didn’t know I was ever going to be able to express it so
easily and comfortably.
I don t have much to talk about, and
there really isn’t much to say besides that I love my mission and I want to
finish strong. Like you said, leave it all out on the field.
Love,
Elder McRae
