Street Ball (10-21-13)

(Sorry this is out of order!  Enjoy anyway!)

Bom Dia Tudo Mundo,

This week was good, it wasn't much different than any other week but it was still really good.  We went on exchanges this week and I went with my district leader, Elder Hansen.  We went to my area so I had to take over.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  The hardest part was finding who to visit because we couldn't visit any of the Hispanics we visit because I don't speak Spanish and neither does Elder Hansen.  But it was still super awesome.  We were biking trying to find something to do and we biked past this house with some 15 year old black kids playing basketball in their driveway and we totally played them.  And we were in our shirts and ties.  it was legit, the backboard was broken and had tons of holes in it so it was total street ball.  And we only lost by 1.  If we had better shoes we would have had that game.  After the game we invited them to our Tuesday night basketball.  They were super interested so hopefully they come.

Other than that our investigator Leo came to church.  That was super awesome!  He only stayed for sacrament, but it was better than nothing.  Church was interesting anyways, but it was super good that he came.

We also went to the temple and did baptisms.  Actually we watched.  Elder Hansen's recent convert Sister Van Matre went for the first time and her husband was baptized and confirmed.  That was one of the most spiritual experiences that I have had at the temple.  It was sweet.  And the Baton Rouge temple is TINY!!!  But really pretty.

So that is about all for this week.  Eu amo voces and stay classy!

Com Muito Amor,

Elder Mackay
