Hello Family,

Well another week has almost gone by. Funny thing happened today. I received a list of all the Elder waiting in the MTC. And behold there was Sean haha. From knowing, what I know about are missionaries that are waiting I am guessing Sean could have another couple weeks in the Utah mission. But he will get to Peru sooner or later. What a great guy. Well I had a couple funny experiences this last week. First off I was walking and contacting and contacted this old man that was walking.I said buenas Tardes and he then yelled grabbed my hand and began to shake with great force then he hugged me and began to scream, buenas tardes ¿cómo está? after about 10 seconds of this I was a little shook up and tried to restart the conversation but when I said again, I am elder mck....and he screamed again and started the whole thing over again however this time I had learned his tactic. So when he began to scream and tried to hug me, I hugged back with all my strength and yelled too. At this point my companion was on the other side watching us thinking that we were crazy hahah. But it was funny because after this time I yelled ¡Again! but he had had enough and did not want to do it hahaha. My other story was that we were walking along the street and in this one yard I quite possibly looked upon one of the ugliest dogs on the planet. I am going to send it to you but be careful because I do not know if you want to see something so nasty. Ok, what else? So we are still working with the Garcia family and I hope everything goes through with them. It looks like they will not be being baptized this week but it is still possible, so we are going to fast and see. They are really cool. Such a great family. I am meaning to send a picture of them but I got to get around to it. I hope the Grows are doing ok. Sometimes the Lord really allows some tests of faith to come along.But we just have to keep the gloves on and keep the good fight. Hey speaking of the fight, I got my mitts for boxing. Thanks a lot. Everyone here is surprised how fast I hit. But I got to work on my power. Well I think that is about it from LAS OFICINAS. Oh also. Dad I do not know if you remember but in the church there is a program they use to do just about everything. When ever you were counting money there was always a program on the computer in the church I do not know what it is called in English, but in Spanish is called MLS and now we are using it a lot and I am becoming quite the expert with it. How about that.Anyways I love you all a ton.
