Hey all! I hope everyone is doing so way good! I am doing well.. the work this last transfer has been difficult.. not much progression at all with investigators but there is some! We have hope for some baptisms early March.. I would love one this weekend though.. hopefully we can get one! Elder Burrows and I get along great but that can effect the work a bit.. laughing a lot and stuff.. We pray and work hard though. Not really any cool stories to share unfortunately.. well we do have an investigator who we were told by a member friend of his that after sacrament meeting he felt/heard a voice say to him, "..you are going to be a Mormon.." so that is cool we are really excited for his baptism next month.. (hopefully this weekend!) Being a missionary is hard work.. but very rewarding.. I love reading Bryce's emails keep sending them.. I wish I could serve with that guy.. he sounds like one of those missionaries I want everything to be just like. Sumter is an interesting place.. yeah, it is. I am at a point I don't know if i mentioned in my last email, but a point where I am just way excited to see what the rest of my mission holds! I don't really like the idea of one day not being a missionary.. I cant imagine not wearing my name tag.. That is going to be a tough day.. But! I'm not focused on that! A lot of my converts are being punks lately.. at least 3 are pretty much inactive.. and at least 1 of those 3 still has a good testimony, but man church attendance is so necessary for our eternal progression! I cant imagine ever choosing to just skip church.. it is really that important.. we just don't understand why all the time I suppose. Well.. I've had some thoughts about the ROTC when I get home.. we'll leave that at that, heh. In my personal study lately I have just been jumping around in the Doctrine and Covenants.. namely around sections 128-131.. there is some amazing stuff there.. also section 93 is pretty cool! I love the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.. at times I do feel that the veil is thin and I can see and recognize things that I couldn't before but only for a brief moment.. Always read your scriptures.. always pray and always go to church! These are the three things that turn a recent convert into an amazing convert.. its so simple.. and we as members make no exception! Well.. I love you guys! sorry this is another boring email! Oh and let me add that Kyshauna is an amazing convert.. for being only 11 or so, she sure is awesome, I found out on Saturday that she is reading in the Book of Mormon and is already in Words of Mormon.. not only that but she likes the book of Jacob.. how cool is that! I can see her serving a mission at temple square or something one day! I am so stoked to see people I helped teach and what not in another 2 1/2 years and find out how well they have progressed! Oh and Bec! I wanted to say thanks a million for your package, I ate all the candy and use that other stuff! That was really nice to get that! Thanks for caring! .. as for the subject.. I think that was the name of the sequel to Aladin. And as always thank you Ben and Sarah for your emails so often! Oh and kudos to Tyler for taking care of Bec and being cool!.. and finally I wanted to say good luck to Kyle on his mission! If I had any advice for him it would be to not be like the other missionaries at the MTC... (i.e. rowdy..).. I know he will love his mission! So far this has been the best 6 months of my life for sure! I wish time wouldnt go by so fast.. I have had depressing dreams of being home and not having taught or baptized many people.. and man.. I hope when the day comes, I will have taught and baptized all that I was sent here to!
Love you all! Happy Monday!
-Elder McMurry!
