Dear Mommy and Family
This week was tough, but it was a lot better than last week. We tracted like crazy though. Hopefully some good will come from it. The funny thing is we tracted only on the days that is was pouring rain.
Out here we have a limit of how many miles we're able to go per month, and we're already half-way through the amount of miles we can go. And we still have 20+ days left =( so that means lots of walking. Which is good.
Elder Perkins and I have gone on a "Fiber and Protein" diet. And we've gotten some crazy awesome results. I've lost 10 lbs! and we've only been doing it for a week and a half! So dad better get on it if he wants to beat me. But i better be careful. We have quite a few dinners with members scheduled so I'll have to watch what i eat. Whoever said you lose weight on a mission, went to Africa.
So Dawn... Dawn, dawn dawn.. She's getting baptized this Sunday! Tyler and Kayla will have to wait though. We talked with the ward Bishop and he thinks that they aren't "ready" yet. So Elder Perkins and I are going to work extra hard with them. It was really cool, Tyler came up to me in church yesterday and asked if I would baptize him. I was shocked that he'd ask me because I've only been around for 4 weeks. But I'm ecstatic. I'll have to get a picture with the family so i can send it to you. Speaking of, i should probably unpack my camera =P I don't think I've taken one picture yet. I'll start taking them like crazy, i promise.
The music thing. President looked at my Ipod and i played a few of the "questionable" songs for him and he said that they were fine. He actually really enjoyed "getting into you" so much that he asked me to play it for him a few times. He also said, "Elder McBride, You get that guitar sent out here soon! I want you to teach me how to play that song." we got a pretty good laugh out of that one. He also really liked a few of the Liken songs. But yeah. I can't think of anything besides the Cd's. But please, Send it to the mission home. Elder Perkins had his family send out a GPS to our new address and... well.. it wasn't in the mailbox. We were in a pretty big panic. but we talked with the Post Master and he said they were holding onto the package. It's not safe to send packages to the missionary's addresses just because they've had a problem with things being stolen. And I prefer Chords over Tabs, But I'll take whatever you send =). (maybe when I'm no longer a "greeny", you could possibly consider sending out a GPS for me... but it's completely up to you)
J'Nell, Maddy, Conner.
WHAT IS UP MI SIBLINGOS!!
Why don't you guys E-mail me? I'm kidding =) How's school going? You all better be getting Straight A's!!! If not i might have to come home and smack you over the head =P You guys are on your best behavior... right? So J'Nell, The elder's in my district have all agreed that you don't look 15 going on 16. You look 18 ish. So there ya go. Mozeltoff. You know what... I'm really weird. Not how i was at home but just weird. But being weird is the only way we can stay sane out in the field.
hahaha. Elder Perkins and I have been walking around Coatesville talking in British accents. It's funny how many people actually pay attention to us now. But i'd better be careful, i might come home with a british accent.
But yeah. Hope all is going well! And thank you for your prayers. I need them =)
"And now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, See that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind, and strength that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore if ye have desire to serve God, Ye are qualified to the work. For behold, the field is white, already to harvest. And Lo, he that thrusteth his sickle with all his might the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation unto his soul. And Faith, Hope, Charity, and love, with an eye single to the Glory of God, qualify him to the work. Remember faith,virtue, knowledge, temperance, obedience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility and diligence. Ask and ye shall recieve, knock and it shall be opened up unto you. Amen." - D&C 4: 1-7 (i think)
Love you!
Elder McBride
