Throwback Pday- wearing his dad's missionary tag and his grandpa's tie.
Happy Father's day!
How is everything going??? Mom that is so dang awesome that you are in the DR! completely nuts! I am glad that you are getting to see a little of Latin America! So cool. I bet The DR is the greatest! I want to visit other Latin American countries because I know they are all so different! I know you are having a great time out there!!! Just be careful that they don't rip you off. They do that a lot to me here. But I'm just like Oh no, esto no pasa conmigo. Soy Peruano. I fight a lot with the street vendors haha. But it's cool! I am having a good time down here in Peru. It is awesome that I get to know a whole different culture and a whole different people! But Mom, Grandma was never where I am right now. Haha. Only my Ward is called Valle Sagrado. I am in the city of San Juan de Lurigancho. The pits. Haha. There isn't a resort within 50 miles from where I'm at. Haha. Grandma whould never even dare to come where I am right now. Haha. I never wanted to tell you guys this, but it's freaking dangerous here. But it's not a big deal. The missionaries are friends with the gangsters and chorros so they don't mess with us. It's all good!!! Plus we have super blessings from the Lord.
This week in our area was pretty cool! We taught a lot and found a much of new less actives to teach! Which was really cool. I really like teaching less actives. My favorite parable is of the Prodigal son and I just love being a part of that process!!! It is the greatest!!!
Me and my comp are having a little trouble getting along. He is super rebellious and pretty immature and so he doesn't like to do things the way they should be done so I am getting a little frustrated with him. Because I will be honest, obedience is like one of the most important things for me and when other people aren't obedient kind of bugs me. But I know that everyone has there agency and that the Lord guides them in the way they should act.
But everything is cool out here in Peru! (and when I say cool I mean it, it is dang cold here) Think of Santa Rosa in morning in the Spring when it was super foggy, cold and wet, that's how it is here all day. haha. It is kind of rough. But it's coo because I'm not sweating anymore. Haha.
Guys, I want to tell you that God lives and loves us ssssoooooooooo much. He wants us to be happy, that is his plan. So we should just be happy! An Elder yesterday said that if we aren't happy, we aren't following the plan of God and so we should just slap a smile on our face and carry on! I know that we always pass through hard times but I know that we will overcome those challenges and be happy throughout our lives. God Loves us immensely and he wants everything to go right for us. We just have to follow him.
I love you guys so much and hope you are having a great time in Utah and the DR!!!
Awesome: Emily got here call!!!! Que chevere!!!!
Awkward: I had like an allergic reaction to chile and I think I broke my toe playing soccer. haha.
I love you guys so much and have an amazing week!!!!
Mucho Mucho mucho amor!!!
Elder McIff
