It was fun talking to all of you last night! It sounds like everyone is doing great as usual. G´ma Mc was the lucky one to get the calling card cutting off in mid conversation. :) It still hasn´t fully hit me that I´m going to be seeing you guys soon. I´ve spent my entire life preparing for a mission. But I don´t an entire life´s preparation could prepare me for what is going to happen in less than two weeks. I feel very blessed to still have at least one more week as a full-time missionary.
Best News of the Week: Javier´s baptism! It was a very sweet baptismal service. I consider myself very blessed for having taken part in the teaching process as well as the program on Saturday. I was privileged enough to perform the ordinance. Sunday was equally as amazing. Javier, along with his uncle Coco, that got baptized two weeks ago, both received the priesthood. We had no idea, but the bishop asked them both before hand if they could get short testimonies in Sacrament Meeting. Two of the sweetest testimonies that I´ve ever heard were given. Their future is looking bright. My only complaint is that I won´t be here to watch them grow even more.
Saturday morning, we were able to participate in a Stake Service Project, ¨Mormon Helping Hands.¨ (Manos Mormonas Que Ayudan.) We cleaned four blocks and then painted the curbs. When you come to pick me up, I´ll make sure to point out my handiwork.
...Oh, I almost forgot! I got bitten by a dog for the first time in forever this last week. Let me tell ya, that was the most ferocious lap dog I´ve ever seen. It got me on the sneak attack -- no barking until after the bite.
This week, I have been reading the end of 2 Nephi, one of the most enjoyable parts of the Book of Mormon in my opinion. It´s amazing reading about a book (the Book of Mormon) that will come forth in the last days. Then, chapter 31 just hits a grand slam with the Doctrine of Christ. Feel free to look over 2 Nephi 31 this week. It will help you answer questions that your friends have.
From the elder that only has ten days to live,
Elder McMurray
