First of all, I am still in amazement of what you sent to me, Nathan. I cannot believe that Brandon Miles is a Mormon convert of less than a year. That´s awesome! Way to go Brandon! I had to have entered into Milestat.com at least 7,000 times. at least.
Soo... what happened to the Pope, exactly? We´ve heard a wide scale of reports.
This week was officially the nastiest weather week of my mission. We had a ¨wonderful¨ combination of hot, humid, and small rain showers. I´ve never felt so sticky in my life. Three days this week we had mini rain storms. They are the worst. Before it rains it is incredibly hot. Then it rains for 15 minutes. Finally, the sun comes out, making things unbearable. Lucky us...
Most of the excitement happened over the weekend, so I´ll just jump to it.
Friday: I ate cow liver for lunch. Though I had a slight pasty (bloody) taste in my mouth after, it was actually pretty tasty. Saturday: I was able to baptize an eight year old girl, whose father wasn´t able to perform the baptism. It´s always an honor to participate in a baptism. Sunday: While in the bathroom in the Church building before the meetings started, Raul told us that he wanted to get baptized. I was so shocked that I walked out of the bathroom and left my companion to talk to him about it. While they conversed, I stood behind them with a double fist pump in the air. The only thing lacking was the music to ¨Game Day¨ in the background. He´s gone to Church several times and might be getting baptized this weekend. I´ll keep you posted! Also, we had the privilege to have Elder Avila attend our ward. Remember when a Seventy visited our branch while I was in Posadas a few months ago? Well it´s the same Elder. He´s a great man with a great Spirit that has a gift for teaching. It was a very inspiring meeting that included talks from the entire Stake Presidency.
This week, I´ve been finishing 3 Nephi. The Savior taught that if it is His church then it should have His name. Something so basic, and yet so few actually heed that. Also, I have new appreciation for the Bible. The Bible and the Book of Mormon work hand in hand so well together. The Bible gives so many reasons to believe that the Church has been restored again.
Other than that, life continues. Elder Posadas has eight days left in the mission. (Not that he is counting our anything... :))
Keep it classy,
Elder McMurray
