That's my plan at least. I think I've decided I'm going to serve my mission forever. I just love it all. I love the work. I love the people. I love my companions and all the missionaries here. It's just the greatest blessing to serve a mission. I have been really humbled lately and really I have a lot I need to do better. Things are looking great this transfer as far as baptisms! We have A LOT of potential baptisms and I am so excited for all of these wonderful people. We met a really cool lady last night which gave me another strong testimony of planning by the spirit and following through with those plans. She lived on strange out of the way road but Elder Richardson and I knocked it anyway just as we had put it in the plans the night before and it turned out awesome! It's all about member work! Ask the missionaries how you can help them.. cause hey, you're the members you guys have lives and cant think about missionary work all the time, that's why its the missionaries job to take care of the teaching and worrying part of missionary work.. just cast your missionary woes on them and they will love you! But anywho! I love you guys and hope everyone is doing well.. Don't have much else to say.. I hope I get to stick around here for another transfer just to see these awesome baptisms! But.. Now that I want to hang around, who knows If I will? I'll go where the Lord wants me to go though! I miss you all!
-Elder McMurry
sometimes i think the some medicine would be good again cause there are a lot of difficulties in the work and sometimes we just focus to much on things that we don't need too and feel guilty for such trivial things.. i've really seen the simplicity of the gospel and that really.. we just don't need to worry as much as we members of the church do.. even though i still do from time to time.
Well..
I hope you guys are alright.. I know that there are always reasons for our trials. Our zone this week has been doing a "purification" week. where everyday of the week, we focus on an attribute in PMG chapter 6. Today is patience.. other cool things about how we can be happy are Mosiah 4.. an awesome section on being happy! Well mom we are about to go eat! I love you please be happy and do your best to find time to just chill.. Be happy cause I'm happy! Really that's all there is to it... also the lives of other whom have joined the church because of you and dad and how you have raised the 4 of us boys who have all served missions and been instruments in bringing many to the restored gospel! love ya!!! hang in there! see what principles in pmg chapter 6 you can apply in your life each day to become happier and spiritually healthier! a cool thing i learned from it was about hope.. in the gospel language hope is actually "certain", "sure" and "firm".. it is not "uncertain" as we see it today.. Christ had perfect hope, which was certain that things would happen! Its so cool! Just don't cloud your brain with worries.. just be happy! remember what president monson said... i think..
something to the effect of..
"we have the memory of june roses when we need them in the december of our lives"... basically the happiest memories are there to help us through the bitter cold in our life that we sometimes face!
love ya!
