Hey Fam,
So to get your questions out of the way.... No, it hasn't rained for about a week and a half, but boy... It is HOT! Hot and Humid. Not too fun. Today it got up to 99.... with 75+ percent humidity. 
but it's supposed to rain sometime this week.
The money thing. I forgot that there were 5 weeks is May. So i kinda spent all my MSF (missionary service fund) early. So some of the money went to groceries, and then we went to down-town Philly a few days ago so i pulled some out for that, but didn't use it. so I've got an emergency fund right now, stashed somewhere safe. so yeah.
I'm as healthy as a horse. No more problem with the stones. The one thing i can work on is drinking more water. But the Tap water out here will give you some kind of disease... we missionaries like to call it the "philly-itis". It takes you out for a few days. So we went out and got a filter. Yeah. so hopefully i can keep the fluids up.
And yes. I know that you love me. I love you too.
So this week was an interesting week to say the least. Dawn has gone missing.... we have no idea where she is. Her kids don't know where she is. No one in the ward knows where she is. But what we do know is that she had a big argument with her Ex not to long ago. So we assume that she ran off to avoid him for now. probably living with a friend or relative. Hopefully we can find her soon. Her kids are ok though. They're with their uncle. and He's a really good guy.
Anyways. We are teaching these awesome people! I think i told you about Bill Stewart. He's still rockin' and rollin'. He can't wait for his baptism. He's just a solid guy. Then we're teaching this awesome lady. Vicky. Unfortunately i can't remember her last name.. it's some crazy Italian name. Anyways... Vicky is awesome. She has been reading the BoM like mad. But... she doesn't want to come to church because she was forced to go in the past and that kind of turned her off from attending church. But we had a really good lesson with her and she said she'll come to church in the next couple of weeks.
We went on two exchanges this last week. One with our zone leaders and the other with the members of our district. I got to go out with Elder Kay (one of the zone leaders). He's an awesome guy! He's heading home here this Wednesday actually. He's from Kearns Utah. Funny, laid back kind of guy. Dad would really like him. After that exchange he told me he hasn't been on that good of an exchange since the beginning of his mission. That was pretty cool. And the second exchange.. I went with Elder Payne. Awesome kid from southern California. It's almost scary how similar we are. We clicked right off the bat. Good guy.
it's weird though.... Transfers are this week and It's highly likely that either Elder Perkins or myself is going to be leaving (yes that was really bad grammar, but it's ok cause i be a missionary). It will most likely be Elder Perkins but you never know. It'll be interesting to see. So you never know, the next e-mail you get from me might be from somewhere that's not Coatesville. (like it matters right =P).
So how the heck is everyone! How was memorial day? Did you BBQ at all cause we did! It was so good. Probably because I'm just an amazing cook. anyways... Schools almost out right? You should consider yourselves lucky because the kids out here don't get out till June 15th.
Anyways. I'll talk to you guys next week! Love ya
Elder McBride
