Well this week was a H-A-R-D week. Haha for reals. It was a toughy. My companion and I have been working hard this week and we have had the fruits!!! It has been a lot of walking, knocking doors, and chasing people down to teach them. Haha. This week we really focused on finding new investigators and well we found them! We now have a few really good investigators and some old ones that came out of the woodwork! It was really good. One super cool story. So there is an investigator here the is super old. She has been an investigator since I was here six months ago. And well last week we visited her and she was super negative and had lost her testimony of the church and everything for some problems she had with the members and it made me super sad because she was really good. But this week we went and she had totally changed. She had some problems with her husband and she could only go to God to look for help and she said that she had received an answer to her prayers and that she was going to go to church on Sunday and she came!!!! It was super awesome. She was super happy and she was telling to all the members, "the prodigal daughter has returned!" Haha she's a little funny but we are going to help her get married and hopefully baptized before I go home!!! That is what I am working for right now, my last baptism.
Mom you letter was totally right, I am so so grateful for the hard work ethic that you and dad taught me. So many times in my mission I have remembered the hot days pulling weeds or hauling the lawn mower all over the lawn or just doing strange chores that dad gave me, I have just remembered putting my head down and doing it. So many times in my mission I have been exhausted and hot, and just dead and I have recieved strength to keep pushing from the example that you guys gave me and the things you taught me. I am very grateful for the things that you taught me. Hard work will always be a great characteristic that I will take from my mission and something that my patricartical blessing says that I would learn.
I am tired and my legs hurt and are sore more than ever but the field is still white and it is still ready for the harvest. We are heloing the branch grow and helping many people come to church once again. It is a great time working in the work of the Lord and well there is still a lot of work left!
This week my companion and I are going to go to the Lima temple for the last time! I am going to buy you guys some really cool stuff from there! The Peruvians are really creative and they do a lot of cool things related to the church so I will see what I can find there!
We are also going to have a zone conference tomorrow in which I will give my offical last testimony, it will be intense. How sad! But it will be okay because I won't be the only one.
Thank you for everything guys!!! I love you so much!!!!!
Elder McIff
