Elder McBride called home on Mothers Day and we got to talk with him for an hour. I loved to see how everyone reacted when they talked with him, to see the looks of anticipation, then hearing the sound of his voice and seeing the smile on my families faces.
Patrick is a bit homesick right now. He talked with Ryan and Mike about how they overcame this point in their missions. He got emotional a few times, and has realized how much he loved his family since he's been on a mission.
He told us that he's living in a pretty wealthy area, but a lot of people are losing their jobs right now. Although it's such a scary time in the world, he said it's helping people become more humble and teachable.
He also talked a little about the people he is living with and how much he appreciates them.
I (Veronica) think this is actually week 16 - and the family is planning a trip to California in January 2010... I'm sure Elder McBride will love to either be picked up or a chance to go back a few weeks after he comes home. Either way, we can wait to see him! We are so proud of Elder McBride and his choice to serve the Lord!
