Thanks for the emails this week! It´s good to hear from all of you! I´m sending pictures...hope you like them.
I think it´s safe to say that the heat is here to stay. We now are into sombrero-wearing weather. It´s a mission rule that we have to wear our sombrero during the summer months. If you thought that white shirts and ties stuck out, you should see us now. Let´s just say that we are making straw hats look pretty cool.
This has been a fairly standard week. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened... for the exception of a dog bite. That little booger. Ninety-nine percent of dogs put on the act of looking tough and barking at you with no end. This time was different. Like last time, before I had any idea what was going on, he´d gotten me. Don´t worry, I only have a purplie bruise. It didn´t even break flesh, just my pride.
This has been one of my most exciting weeks of scripture study thus far. 3 Nephi. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is put so simply in chapters 11-26, it´s unreal. It´s a good thing too, I need things simple. We can spend all of our time worrying about deep doctrine, but when it comes down to it, all we need to know is the first principles of the gospel and we will be set for life. Elder Bruce R. McConkie, in his final discourse, talked a lot about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He said that it is our most simple doctrine, and yet, it is the least understood. Our perspective on life will be different if we only just begin to comprehend the Atonement.
Sorry that this email is eternally short, but I´m low on time. Feel free to ask questions that you want answered!
Love you all!
Elder McMurray
