Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! I haven't received those packages yet, but I might get them tomorrow at transfers! I don't have a whole lot of time because we got to chill at the RIU resort today and eat at the buffet all day and do all of the cool activities that they offer that don't have the water. It was sooooooo fun! - but I will talk a little more about it and send pics when I have time.
Transfer calls came last night . . . and I am staying here still to help the branch out! The stake presidency visited us and called some counselors to help out the branch. They are less-actives, but hopefully at least one of them will show up every Sunday. I am getting sent Elder Sunderhaus - my friend from Red Mountain High School, so I am really, really excited! He is a great elder and we are sure to work real hard together. I should be going to the Capitol tomorrow to pick him up and escort him out here. Hopefully I will be able to see Elder Despain and be able to know who his trainer is and stuff. I am sure that he will get a good one. I know some really good elders who are training this transfer. haha.
I am trying to reactivate a less-active in my branch who is a baptism of Elder Fuentes. He told everyone out here that his family owns half of Arizona I guess . . . :) anyways, that is cool that you were able to chat about the mission with him a little bit.
Tell Dad happy birthday again for me! I hope it goes well over there and I have plans myself to take a little bit of money out of the home account so that I can buy some Tony Romas for my b-day! Yuuuum:) Well, sorry that all my time got wasted at the hotel today. I will make sure to write an extra super long e-mail this next week to make up for all of that.
I love you so much and tell everyone I said hi! Oh, and I sent Sister Montgomery a letter pretty recently, so I hope that she gets that soon! I got a shout-out from Elder McDermott last week! One of the senior missionary couples in my mission has a grandson who is in the same mission as Brock and my name got mentioned. He said to say hi to me. Crazy small world right?!
Love, Elder McBride
