Computer won't let me upload photos sorry:/
Elder Silva has been pretty sick so not much happened this
last week. I've been pounding Tang and guava to stock up on Vitamin C. Its been
raining a ton.
This weekend is a celebration called Carnaval. Its pretty
wild from what I've heard. We aren't going to leave the house because they
throw paint and other stuff. With our white shirts we'd be like walking
canvases hahaha. Yeah so P-day for us is this Saturday! Cambios (Cambios means transfers. Each missionary is assigned to a companion and area for six weeks. At six weeks assignments are subject to change according to the direction of the Mission President) next week.
One of my favorite scriptures that I came across again while
reading the Book of Mormon:
Helaman 5:12
12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the
rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your
foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his
shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat
upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of
misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a
sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Visited this huge market. It covered like 5 different
streets and they had everything from BYU and Seahawks gear to tasers and tear
gas hahaha. I ended up buying a Mariners-Ichiro shirt for 30 Bs (about $4). How
could I say no to my childhood hero??
Saturday morning it was raining super hard, I woke up to the
house flooding. Got up to about 3 inches throughout the entire house haha
Saturday was Aldo's baptism. Aldo is from Peru, but he is
studying to be an architect at UCEBOL, the university in my area. To be honest
when we first started teaching him it was rough. My Spanish wasn't that good
and he talks like an Italian- so I could hardly understand him. But the Spirit
helped us understand one another. Its been really special to watch his faith
grow. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity and privilege to be the one to
baptize him

Little quote that I found during my personal study that I
love:
"God's love is there for you whether or not you feel
you deserve love. It is simply always there." -President Thomas S. Monson
Just a little reminder from the prophet that God will always
love us!
Con amor,
Elder McClune
