Rezzy.

Christmas Break!  Sounds like you are doing well.  It´s good to hear from you all.  Thanks Uncle Kevin for the email!  But yeah mom, just let me know what you want me to do for the Christmas Call and what your plans are for the day.

 

So last week I failed to mention that this week was transfers.  With the new program that the Church does with trainers and new elders guarantees two transfers together to finish the training.  I figured it was for sure that I was going to be spending Christmas in Posadas.  Well...  yeah.

We´ll start with Tuesday night.  8:47pm.  Call from the Zone Leaders.  Elder Alcaraz and I both were leaving.  I think I might have mentioned once that the branch had four missionaries... well, now it´s got two.  Our time together was entirely too short.  Elder Alcaraz was sent to Paso de los Libres (Ironically, my second area as well).  Posadas (and Misiones) will always be in my heart.  Misiones is so beautiful.  I´ll dearly miss the Red Dirt.  She was all too kind to my white shirts.  

Now.. What is looking to be my final stop on the tracks...  I´m now in Resistencia.  My area´s name is Güiraldes.  Wait for it... it´s a ward!!!  The blessings are really pouring out now.  But it only gets better...  We´ve got a few baptisms planned for this weekend: a white Christmas!  Oh and Resistencia has Wal-Mart!!!!!!!  Can life get any better?  ...actually, it can.  My first apartment with air conditioning!  I´ve got a sneaking suspicion that paradise is something like this..

My companion is Elder Marilaf.  Elder Marilaf is from Santiago, Chile.  He´s a sick baller when it comes to soccer.  Our morning exercises have been spent at the field, playing soccer.  He started his mission in August, so he´s still fairly new.  We´re getting along great and we´re working hard.

 

This week, I am still reading in Alma.  53:20-21... In two thousand years from now, will people still be able to say the same about us?

 

I love you all lots!

 

Elder McMurray
