It was SO great talking to Elder McMullan yesterday for Mother's Day! It took a long time to get the Skype figured out though! The phone he was using wouldn't let him do skype. He didn't know that at the time, but we got it figured out and the member he was eating dinner with, let him use his phone so he could Skype us! He sounds fantastic! He's the same ole Matt, but improved! He bore his testimony to us. He told us that before his mission, he chose to serve because he didn't know what else to do with his life. But NOW, he sees the power of the Gospel completely CHANGE people's lives for the better! He's blown away by it's power! He said there are a lot of other church's in the area, but they have it wrong. He doesn't bible bash with them though. He shared some thoughts with us though. It was so amazing to see him and talk to him and see the change in him! He is so much happier and at peace with himself and being out there! He said he doesn't prefer Mesa or Dallas, he likes them both equally. We didn't talk to his companion, Elder Twitchell, but he seems like a really nice guy. Matt says he's funny. I guess they have a ton of chickens living on their property and E. Twitchell likes to bok at them to get them to come over to them. :)
Here's his letter from today:
It was good to talk to you to yesterday. There were a couple things I wanted to talk about but I forgot when we were on Skype. One of those things was last week we went to teach an investigator who has his own Diary Farm and while he was out working we learned his Sons Birthday Party wasn't going as planned. We ended up driving over there to learn that some of the teenagers got there Trucks stuck in the mud and had to get them all out which took about 3 hours to do. Also when we got to their house a bunch of them were in Underwear after taking showers to get the mud off. His mom wasn't happy but I thought it was pretty funny.
Anyways as far as my schedule goes for this week I have no idea. Today is P day of course and we are attempting to meet up with the zone today but I'm not sure what we are going to do for the rest of the week. I guess I'll find out what people need to be taught the gospel. Also we do have interviews with the mission president this week which will be close to a 2 hour drive to get there. Sad to hear that Pierce broke up, but I hope he doesn't rush to get married anytime soon. Anyways I hope your week is great and also send me a picture of that letter when you can.
Elders at the investigator's house who owns a Dairy farm. Elder McMullan has had HORRIBLE allergies! His eye was so itchy, that he has an abrasion on it from scratching. He had to wear an eye patch for a couple days.
