Hey mom, I loved the very first thing you said about waking up from a nap at 3:30 in the morning!!! It definitely gave me a good laugh!!
And hey I got a new comp!! He is from Argentina and he lived in the mission Spencer is serving in! haha! We both have the same amount of time here in the mission so we are both super green! My favorite thing about him is that we are equals so no one person feels dominant! We both have equal experience so everything is a companionship decision!! I love that he wants to work with the members because it really makes me think about how blessed these companionships are by God. I asked God the whole week for a companion who has the same goals and has the same desire to have a companionship where both people are equals!!! That's exactly what we have!! We are equals and have all the same goals for our time together in the mission. I can tell that this is going to be a strong companionship and I love that he has been showing so much love for the people I have been working so closely with!! Especially for Carlos!!
Carlos is a boy who we have been teaching as the result of a recent convert named Junior!! Carlos is a way strong kid and he in fact is so strong in his beliefs of the things we have been teaching that he has invited one of his friends to stop drinking coffee and go to church with him. As a result we are now teaching the two boys Luis and Carlos just because their friend Junior asked us to share our message with Carlos. They are amazing and I love them with all of my heart!! God has truly prepared these boys for this message and I am honored to be the person bringing it to them. Luis is so smart and for a 13 yr old boy he has such a vast understanding of God!! Everytime he speaks I feel a power in the room I have never experienced before!! His questions are truly inspired of God! And I am teaching him because Carlos, another 13 yr old boy who is so incredibly firm in his beliefs asked him to hear our message! Those two boys are special and they want to be baptized soo badly! I am so excited to bring this gospel into their lives and I can't wait to enter the waters of baptism with them! But for now, I cannot. The mother of Carlos will not give him permission to join our church and he has invited her 3 times to join him at church and 4 times to hear our message. I love Carlos and I want to help him but all I can do is pray that the heart of his mother will be softened. Please remember him in your prayers that we may continue to bring and guide him unto the Father.
Thank you all for everything and thank you for all of your prayers. I really see the blessings in my life everyday as a result!! I love you mom and I love everybody else at home but most of all I love my investigators. Please remember Carlos in your prayers tonight. Thank you!
siempre,
Elder McKee
