Hey family!
So a
bunch happened but I can't remember it all. It's been raining 3 days out of the
week and the other 4 have been insanely hot. I'll start off with a funny story.
So there's a missionary in our Zone named E' Guevara (from Ecuador...Conner
served in his stake.) Well we were doing divisions with E' Choi and E' Guevara
again. The last time we did divisions, my bike chain broke in a way that made
it impossible for me to even push the bike, so I carried it on my shoulders for
a mile or two to get it fixed. Well this time, it was Kings Day (January 6thm
which is basically 2nd Christmas). And when we woke up I looked over and my
tire was flat. I was furious because it was the one day that we were going to
go visit Ricon Tranqueras (a town in our area that’s 6 miles away from our
house). So we took the bike to get it fixed (3rd time that week that I had to
change a flat tire) but when we got there, we found out that it was closed due
to the holiday. More angry than ever, I started calling ward members who had a
bike because I was not going to let Satan win. The people either didn't answer
or were on vacation. We took the bike home and E' Guevara was like, “maybe us
doing divisions together is just bad luck.” I agreed 100% I said, “You know
what? We’re doing this anyways. I'm going to be above the line (referring to
Pte Smith's book) and we're going out there on one bike! Get on the handle
bars!! Satan is not winning!" And
off we went, like a heard of turtles. We made it out there fine and had an
amazing day! It was a great experience and I know that E' Guevara will never
forget it.
So President
came up to T Bo to teach everyone about the new way we're going to be working
and that was awesome. He also gave us our changes. We're going to be together
for another change and every companionship in our Zone will be training. IT'S INSANE!!! President says that he has a
bunch of trust in his Leaders to put a bunch of newbies in one Zone.
Yesterday was cleaning day
and I just keep telling myself that I'm going to be doing a deep cleaning of my
house at least 2 times a week. We cleaned for 4 hours and now the house is
spotless! Ugly...but clean.
Oh...so
E' Rampton trained two times. His first kid went home early for some problems
he had before the mission. E' Rampton wrote him all of the time to get him
pumped about coming back on the mission. Well a couple days ago he got a call
from President saying that his old companion who went home early, killed
himself. E’ Rampton been really sad lately. He looked up the last email that he
received from his old companion that said, “I'm so sorry for everything
man...'' and that was the same day that he killed himself. E' Rampton is so
upset that nobody told him that months have passed since his death and he has
been trying to email him. What a horrible feeling.
Soccer
sounds amazing...I can't seem to get rid of the fat on my stomach. I work out
more than I have ever worked out on the entire mission and I am seeing no
results. I would love to see if I can still play, but we aren't allowed to play
soccer anymore. I don't care so much that I'm fat and ugly; I just want to be
able to play and run ok.
I'm
super excited about this next change. I'm going to a sealing this weekend!
Daniel (from Rivera) is getting sealed and asked me if I could go so I asked President
and he said that would be no problem. I'll have to pay for the trip myself.
I'll tell you how that experience goes!
Well I love you all and we'll
talk next week!
E' McRae
