Hey Everyone!

So another week here in the D.R. Nothing too exciting went on this week. We are really starting to get in the groove here. The Latino missionaries report today, so that will be kind of cool!

I think I finally picked out my missionary plaque scripture Mom. While I was doing personal study a few weeks ago, I came across Alma 29:9-10, which I really love - and I think that's the one, but I'll let you know for sure.

About my companion. He's the last child of 10 and you can definitely tell! He's nice, but kind of last childy - ya know? He is super smart. His dad is a rocket scientist and I think it rubbed off a little on him!

Thanks for Matt and Greg's letters. They were really fun. I wrote Greg last week, so the letter should have just gotten there I think - and, I'm working on a letter for Matt. It's so cool they're already out in the field.

So, there is no possible way to get any kind of sugar here, which is driving us all completely insane! We get ice cream on Sundays, but other than that - nada! I was so spoiled at home with that huge pantry and such. I honestly think that if any missionaries found candy, there would be a District-gang fight over it! haha jk - but if you ever feel like sending a package, feel free. But no pressure or anything. I know that it's really expensive. Oh, and for packages, don't send USPS, but use UPS or FEDX because they are much safer.

I'm kind of sad that I don't . . .(end of e-mail)

Sorry, I had to go get a haircut, eat lunch, do service and go to gym and now I'm back. So honestly the week has been pretty uneventful. As I said before, the Latino missionaries come today, but I really haven't seen them yet, so I'll tell you how that goes next week.

Ummmm . . . I think I made some major progress in Spanish this week. Twice a week, we have days that we can only speak Spanish, and it honestly isn't that big of a problem anymore, but, the University Spanish is definitely way harder to understand. I know with the Lord's help, I'll get the hang of it sooner or later though.

I hope Halloween was fun! Many dulces for the hermanitos? Tell Dad good luck at the Stake Youth thingy - sounds fun! And Alex playing the piano for the fireside . . . what?! Love you all and sorry this one is kind of short. It's pretty much the same old as of right now. Have a good week!

Love,

Elder McBride

p.s. Don't worry about the candy. I know we're going through some hard times right now and I'll sacrifice it! :)

Love,
