So finally you guys get a letter! I am so sorry about last week!!! Well let's just say that it was a really good week and I loved conference!!! But unfortunately the huge letter I wrote got lost and I am super sad.
But this week was transfers and I stayed in San Felipe! But my companion left. Now I am with Elder F. from Bolivia! He is a pretty cool guy and he knows some English so I am helping him learn more and we are having a good time! There is a hitch though. This is is third mission. Haha. He was assigned to go to Venezuela but there is a lot of crap going down there so it was hard to get visas and so he went to Bolivia La Paz. From there he finally got to Venezuela and then in four months they kicked missionaries out. And now he is in Peru and he only has like three weeks here! He is a brand new District Leader and he knows nothing about the mission or the zone. So pretty much I have been District leader for a week! Its been fuuuunnnnnn. (sarcastically) I like leadership and all but I have my assignment right now as lowly junior companion and ya know I like it down here. Haha but as you said mom, God as a plan and I just need to trust in his Plan. It will all work out.
Okay, well I have like no time because the ZL's decided to cut down our Internet time so I am super crunched but! This week was pretty good! Right now we have three families that we are really working hard with and just waiting for them to come church!!! I think that is the hardest thing here in Peru. People do so much crap here on Sunday and they just don't have time to come to church and they don't want to make the sacrifice to come. It is super frustrating. And now the Area presidency has said that investigators have to come to church three times before baptism. It is so dang hard.
I am super frustrated mom. What more can I do? I am praying, being obedient, fasting, studying my butt off, following the spirit, doing everything I can so that our investigators can progress and then in the end they end up having a lunch that they just can't miss and they can't come to church. What more can I do? I feel like every single force is working against me, The Ward, the ZLs, the mission, the area, Satan!!!! Seriously. All I wanted were baptisms this month. But we aren't going to have any because they won't go to church. It is two months in a row that I won't have a baptism because people just won't go to church. I don't know what I can do more. I don't know.
I am just super frustrated and super confused. But I guess I just have to follow through with faith and hope.
I love you guys so much but I feel like I can't write anymore this week. I know that God loves me and this is happening for some reason. I just need to find out what.
I love you and hope you all have a wonderful day and week!!!!!!
Con todo el amor en el mundo,
Elder McIff
I love you I love you I love you
