This week went by faster than any other week in my mission thus far. I spent two days of it in divisions with Elder Snelson, my old companion. It´s strange being with an elder for so much time. I was lots of fun getting to know more people in his area. I love meeting new people. Every person has their own story to share. Different trials, tests and difficulties. But one thing is constant: the Gospel.
The most exciting day of the week award goes to Sunday. For starters, we had the baptism of Nayla and Santiago Aguirre! I love that family. I love seeing the changes that people make from the first time we meet them up until now. It strengthens my testimony in knowing that what we are teaching is true. We practically didn´t teach anything to them...they themselves had a thirst and won´t stop until it is quenched.
Sunday evening, we became like little children, again. Due to semi-flash floods, most of the streets were entirely covered in water. You know that attitude, ¨when you´re wet, what´s a little more wet going to hurt?¨ well... we had it bad. Elder Posadas and I walked four blocks in water half way up our calves. Other than the slight concern of ravenous turtles or snakes eating us, I would totally do it again in a heartbeat.
This week, my companion gave me a great talk on virtue and your thoughts. It´s in spanish so I´ll let you have fun with Google translator. President Spencer W. Kimball said, ¨Solo el hombre, de todas las criaturas sobre la tierra, puede cambiar el curso de sus pensamientos y llegar a ser el arquitecto de su destino.¨ Pretty deep stuff, I know. I´ll let you think and study on that one.
I love you all!
Un Abrazo,
Elder McMurray
