Hey bud. I just watch the suns lose to the Lakers. The suns are in the playoff hunt while the Lakers are horrible. Suns were terrible in the game and lost. Bummer! Hate losing to the Lakers! Did you get my email last week? I never heard from you but I did read what you wrote to mom and Jake. Sounds like the works been a little slow lately. How was this week? Still working w some menos activos? That's important work. I smoked McBride on the golf course and shot a 37 (one over) on the back 9. So stoked. Best score on 9. Kyle is running for senior class vice president. We have been making some posters for him. Scotti got his mission call to Tulsa Oklahoma Spanish speaking. Crazy. We are planning on going to Palo Alto for thanksgiving. Very tired tonight. Going to bed early. Things are going well at the office. Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow. Make sure you read Jesus the Christ by Talmage. Great book. Love you son. Miss you like crazy.

YOOOOOOO Padreeeeeee! como
estaaaaa! I have heard that the Lakers are just absolutely garbage!!! that is so
amazing to hear!!!! but a bummer that the suns lost ;( and no dad i didn't get
your email last week ;( i was really bummed and concerned why i didn't get one
but mom sent me one which made it all good ;) but yeah the work was really slow
but now it really has picked up! we have two weddings dad of two couples and
after they are going to get baptized!!!! its going to be such an awesome
experience because not many people here are married! they all live together
because divorcement here is really expensive but to get married is really dirt
cheap... but they all have a fear of getting married because it is extremely
expensive to separate but we found two that are willing and ready which is
awesome! like always we are working with menos activos and dad it is so sad to
see how many menos activos there are in this ward... over half the ward is less
active.... and you know why... the people that are within the church... it is so
sad... not to mention the leaders and the bishop are what cause most of the
problems... the bishop is absolute garbage... he doesn't help with the work much
and didn't even go to the stake conference sessions... but we are working with
him and trying to make him better... its so sad because there are some really
great members but because of all the gossip and lies has made alot of people
withdraw from the ward. there is about 150 active and the other 200 are less
active... sad and there isn't much we can do.... wow you smoked mcbride!!! that
is awesome!!!! i wish i could play a good game of golf right now... the p-days
are crap here hahahahahaa.... only soccer.... and no way!!!!!! kyle is running
for vice president!!!!!!! that is so freaking awesome! he will be in my prayers
that he will win!!!! tell him that i am very proud of him and what he is doing!
sounds to me like he is changing a little bit! is that true? and SERIOUSLY!!!!!!
Tulsa Spanish speaking!!!!!! that is awesome!!!! and he is still in the
states!!! sweet gig! stoked for him! good to hear that everything is going good
in the office dad! and don't worry dad i am reading it but don't have much time ;(
anyways thought i would tell you guys some of things that have happened to
me and my companion this week. the first thing is that we have an investigators
that are just awesome! the husband really reads and studys the book of mormon
and has read to 2 nephi already... but it is really sad because satan is really
working hard on them... the sister thinks that we are only there at their house
helping and teaching them so that we can have sex with the wife... it is so sad
that some people think that way about us and then don't really want to get to
know us or what we have to offer. its sad because i have learned that the
people that are close to us, satan uses them to try to destroy them at times.
what is even more awesome is that even though they are facing this problem they
are still moving forward and going to get married this 11 of April...
there is also another couple that their wedding is the 19 of April and they
are trying to open a new business! we promised them that if they follow the
gospel and do what they need too that god will provide the rest... sure
enough... the received more space for their business and also that the first day
the opened, they sold everything that they had! its so cool to see that god
really has to keep his promises with his missionaries... this couple is really
stoked for their marriage!
in our mission we have received 8 missionaries from Venezuela from all the
crap that is going on there! one is in our district and he is pretty cool! its
so sad to hear what is going in in Venezuela and how they are pulling all the
missionaries out of there because of the corruption.
in my old district... they have baptized 27 people.... and when i was there
we baptized no one and the rest of my district had about one or two... its crazy
how well they are doing over there when they have companions willing to work,
unlike me when i was there....
during the week our key got stuck in the door and broke inside the door
knob and we couldn't get in so my companion told me to Spartan kick the door
open! pretty cool experience because it was the first time i kicked a door open!
hahahaha
yesterday we were by a skate park that has just opened and i wanted to go
check it out. when we got there some 21 year old kid came up to me and started
talking to me in English... it was the first time i heard someone talking to me
in English... i then started talking to him in English and had a good
conversation... he ended up asking me if i had a Book of Mormon in English so
that he could read it and practice his English! and to be honest, when i tried
to preach to him in English... i really could not do it! it was really hard!
hahaha... but cool experience for me and how just by walking someone, god put
someone in my path even though he doesn't live close to us, could be a great
potential for other missionaries....
anyways this is just some of the stuff that happened this week! was a great
week for us and one that really lifted my spirits! i hope this week that you guys
all watch conference and watch the session with a question or doubt in mind! i
know that they will respond your questions if you listen carefully! i am so
thankful for all that i have and all that you have done for me! you guys are
always in my prayers! I miss and love you guys like crazy!
wish Kyle a happy birthday and give him a huge hug for me!!!!
love
your son elder macdonald!
