The week was a crazy one! Thanks for all of the emails. It looks like Halloween was a blast. The fear of a nursing home must be hereditary. I´m sad to hear that cross country ended on such a sour note. For those that aren´t seniors, there´s always next year! (Sorry, seniors). Though I never was truly satisfied with what I accomplished in cross country, I still miss it.
Another curve ball was thrown my way this week. I forgot to mention that we were going to have transfers last week. I guess I kind of figured nothing would happen to me or Elder Nish. How wrong I was... Tuesday night´s call came with a few surprises. One, Elder Nish was going to Formosa. Meaning that I am getting a new companion. The next question that came across my mind was, ¨Okay, what part of the mission is he coming from?¨ Answer: I need to go to the office of the mission to get my new companion. In other terms, I´m training. I think I´m more nervous than my new companion. Elder Alcaraz is from Argentina. He hails from the province of San Luis. Words cannot describe the feelings that I have felt the last few days... So I´ll leave the rest to your imagination. Just know that I am excited and hope that I don´t let President Heyman down. Any suggestions that y´all have, feel free to send them my way.
This week´s treasure... A sweet little couple named Matías and Yessica. They attended a baptism Saturday and came to Church on Sunday. Call it luck, but all of the lessons were about Eternal Families. Do I hear destiny calling?
This week I´ve been thinking a lot about the Atonement. This week will we have the privilege of hearing Elder Viñas of the Seventy here in Posadas. We must come with a 5 minute prepared talk about how the Atonement has helped me be a better missionary. Atonement Studies are my favorite studies. If you find a moment this week, do a little digging and see what you can find.
I love you all
Elder McMurray
