Family!
It´s always interesting to hear the crazy things that are going on in your lives. I thank you for the continuous updates.
I found a real treat on my birthday, this last week. Top Ramen. Oh Yeah. You have no idea the excitment that I felt. The little, teenage girl squeal just didn´t do it justice.. I also bought 5 Liters of ice cream for only $40 pesos(you´ll never find a deal like that, I can promise you). The only problem is that our freezer is just a little too small to hold the ice cream container.. so what did we do? We cut off an inch of the top layer of the container of course! A little ghetto, and we had to eat a lot of ice cream(okay, so I ate it all, just about) but it worked. My birthday night was topped off with me and my companion eating 35 empanadas. I dare you to beat 35.
Exciting news of the week: We had three baptisms! It was one of the most amazing and edifying experiences that I have had in the entire mission thus far. I´m very excited for the future of Eva, Adriana, and Miguel. I have learned a lot from each one of them. I´ve watched them make sacrifices ranging from not going fishing to quitting smoking. They are on off on a new and exciting adventure. They will find new and scary things at every turn. The fun part about a baptism is that it really provides a good opportunity to reflect on life...your baptism...your future.(all of the above) We think of the ¨why,¨ quite a bit.
The weather has been rather bearable, lately. It´s raining every week, which is a nice change. Rain is the only tool we have that can cool things off a bit. I can´t tell you how many times I´ve said, ¨Ojalá que llueva.¨...if you catch my drift..
Conference Weekend. Need I say more? Go to Conference with a question in mind. Invite everyone. Prepare to be spiritually feed.
I love you all,
Elder McMurray
