3.3.14




Hey Family,

So this week was the week of Carneval!!!! It’s super cool and the biggest Carneval in all of Uruguay...It’s almost as good as the one in Rio. But yeah, it starts at midnight so we don't have to see any of the half-naked women dancing, but we do get to see some of the cool floats that these people spend the entire year making!!! And then of course, there are some interesting people passed out all over the place in the mornings. I've never seen so many crazy people passed out before... like just sleeping in the middle of the street.  Why is that ok?  But it’s a huge thing in Artigas so we were expecting it to harm our assistance in the church but NOPE!!! We still went up and will be having three baptisms (one’s a family) in the next couple of weeks...it just goes to show that the Lord does what he wants, even if sin covers the world(: It was an awesome week and we were able to go to the temple on Tuesday!!!  I loved the 8-hour drive, seeing the new stuff in the temple, and getting to spend a whole day with Sister Smith and her 7-year-old daughter who love me!!! But here are a couple of pictures...These people spend the entire year building these things… CRAZY!

 

love you all!!!

E' McRae
