Family,
It´s really been another week? Man, that was fast. It´s good to hear from you all, you guys are really hitting your stride with writing me these days. Keep ´em comin´.
This week has been a fairly calm week. Other than the fact that I´m a full-time decision maker, these days. Let me tell ya, talking, sleeping, and breathing Spanish takes a little bit of getting adjusted to. But I know that it´s helping out my learning of the language just that much more. It´s been rather fun having a native (literally) companion this week and a half. I´ve learned a lot of Spanish AND stuff about the area that I´m serving in. Oh, so do you remember that article/random facts that you sent me about Goya, bro? Well, I´ve found all of the places to visit (or should I say, where those birds visit). I didn´t realize it until Elder Nuñez pointed it out, but I´ve walked past a huge wall painting of the world with birds flying between California and Goya. Don´t worry, I took a picture. How many of you knew that Goya, Corrientes Argentina and a city in California had an official pact of Brotherhood? I´m going to go ahead and say not too many of you.
This week had been hot. In case I haven´t mentioned that before. I´ve never prayed for my birthday to come quicker. (March 19 is the official last day of summer, here). I´ve developed a new appreciation for those 20 cows that you see out in the middle of a big open field, with only one little shade tree. I´m quickly becoming a master of managing our walking routes to accommodate the shade that is available.
We´re going to have a baptism this week on Saturday! Amelia is an all systems ¨Go.¨ I´ll have to send photos of it in my next email.
There´s only one thing greater than Conference weekend in April and October --- Conference edition of the Liahona. Ohhh yeah. We just got our English copies and I can´t get enough of it. ¨It´s better to look up!¨ Read them again if you have a chance this week.
I love you all,
un abrazo por todos,
Elder McMurray
