It appears that another week has come to pass. It sounds like BYU football has come to pass, as well. I was excited to hear about the 30-6 triumph. Let´s hope that this is a good omen for the rest of the season. Oh, mom I asked President Heyman, and he said I could vote online. Do you think you could get everything set up for me? I really have no idea how it works.. So it was the Blue Demon Invite this week, huh? Congrats Matthew, Dan, and Spencer! Dad, you are quite right, I remember the course better than the back of my hand. I still occasionally wake up in cold sweats, thinking about what I could have done differently in old races. For the most part, I think of C-burg as challenging, but satisfying course. Tazwell, Hidden Valley, and Carroll County on the other hand...
Oh, so to answer your question Matthew, Argentina isn´t known for its ties (like Russia). The real treasure is Alpargatas. (TOMS.) I can get them for 20 pesos. That´s like 4 or 5 bucks. I have plans of bringing lots home, no worries.
This week, on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of craziness, was about a 8.967. Tuesday, we had our every-other-transfer Zone Conference. I had flashbacks of my first Zone Conference in the mission, where I attended the very same chapel that I did a year ago. We learned some incredible stuff, as usual. It had a strong emphasis on the Vision that President Hinckley, in relation to the growth of the Church. With 3 things we can double the number of those that are baptized, each year. A combined effort (member, missionary, and the Spirit), Knowing our duty as a member, and sincere prayers. Unfortunately, since ´99, we haven´t doubled. One thing that I learned this week is that prophets can make prophecies, but if we do not do what they say, the result WILL NOT happen. If you have doubts on that, just ask somebody that ¨listened¨ to Noah... As missionary, I am constantly learning of my duty as a missionary AND member. If you really want to witness miracles in your lives, please follow the counsel of President Hinckley. You´ll be impressed.
Wednesday and Thursday were spent in divisions. I spent my time outside of my area with Elder Paz. I just can´t get away from the Chilenos. Every corner I turn, there´s another Chileno elder. I guess there are pretty cool, Po... Anyways, we also spent much of our time, Thursday, painting their bishop´s apartment. He left this week for Resistencia. That apartment is now a beautiful shade of white. I´m glad my family isn´t the only one that goes ´crazy´ when it comes to painting the house... :)
Do you guess have any questions about anything? It´ll give me something more to write about.
Cariño,
Elder McMurray
Centro de Conocimiento Center of Knowledge. A really cool museum that´s in my area
