Holla mis Familia y Amigos,
This past week has been good and filled with spititualness...& yes that's a word ;) I don't know why but some weeks just seem to fly by and this was one of them... I feel like I just was sitting here yesterday... even though it was 8 days ago!So I hope everyone is doing well - recovering from sicknesses, surgeries, and all! It sounds like it is warming up over there... and as for over here.. it is warming up squared!! haha, everytime I see a pool (which is everywhere you look) I am like, UGHHHH! hahaSo we have this Investigator Ronda Clark who was introduced by her kind of boy-friend Ron. We have not met with Ronda because she and her boyfriend keep breaking up and getting back together... so it kind of makes it hard for us to create a trusting relationship. However when they got back together this time, we went over to her house and we decided to talk to her finally about getting baptized... She is a very great lady (she has a lot of trials in her life: a son in the military, a son in jail, and a son who is handicapt and can't move.) But she really loves reading the scriptures - and she even made a chart of who was who in the BOM!! haha, pretty funny! Hoping for a baptism in the next two weeks for her!We didn't get to meet with the Judds that much this week :( ... Adams foot fell into a gopher hole and got twisted up so we couldn't meet. But on Saturday we met and played a game for the ten commandments doing little role-plays haha. Then afterward we had a talk with Jan & Adam about how when you get baptized you will be blessed and asked if Adam would be willing to let Jan, Jessica, & Jacob go on with baptism and (not showing a lack of faith) him wait for an answer. We know Adam will get his answer in time.. for me I think it will happen when the family gets baptized. So we are hoping for the best with them :)Haha, on Wednesday I went on an exchange with a spanish Elder: Farrington and the whole day I was just shaking my head in lessons saying: "si" "gracias" "uh huh" haha but it was still very fun. I actually talked to this Indian lady on the steet and asked if she spoke English.. she said yah, so I asked if she spoke spanish too (just to get more aqainted) she was like "no I'm not Spanish" .. (lol, NEVER ask if someone is spanish because of their color!) haha, but she was really nice and I started sharring the Gospel with her and she said that she had read the BOM and believed it to be true.. I was like "HUH? You sure?!" lol, but then she said that her parents wouldn't let her join :( how sad! That night we went to a members house to eat and when I walked in the door the guy was like "Elder McBride?? Do you have a brother?" I was like "uhh, ya" and he asked if he served a mission and where.. I said Cochabomba Bolivia and he was like "I served with your brother!!" Lol, SMALL WORLD! His name was Elder Boots and he was a really cool guy haha, all the other elders really didn't get a word in between us.. Do you remember him Ryan???So have you ever tried Indian food... Cause I can now say I have! and it is ... well lets just say my American stomach is just not used to that kind of food. hahaha Really Hot and spicy... and for the desert they had these soaked in milk cheeseballs ... what the... that not desert!! I want Molten Choc. Cake!! haha, no complaining though ;)We went over to this one investigators house (Lydia Enriques) and asker her to get baptized and she was like "Yes Yes Yes"... then she was like " oh wait... maybe I should pray about it first..." haha.. and since we by any means don't denounce prayer in our religion... we said that was fine ;) hahaMemorial day was good ... At a members house we had a couple of fun experiments... along with some mentos, diet coke... and some dry ice.... haha tons of laughs and fun!! Well I love you all and hope you have a great week! Stay safe! see ya next week :)Love Elder McBride
