This is my normal

Hey! 

It was a good day yesterday and great to talk to everyone! A good call home!  A bit odd actually. It didn't feel as "special" as the other ones. Not in a bad way but it felt really normal almost like it is something I do frequently, hah. I wish the audio would have been a little bit better BUT beggars can't be choosers! The audio was a bit rough but all in all it worked out okay. I was spoiled the last time with good wifi at the Marriott soooo this time it was a bit worse. It's okay though! I was happy to have enough time not to feel rushed or anything at the end. Funny enough we literally ran out of stuff to talk about. That was a first! I enjoyed it a lot though. It sort of recharged me for my last few months before I come home. 

This week was good. The missionary work was very normal and we worked well. At this point in my mission everything seems very normal and not much stands out to me or gets me so excited. Not in a bad way, haha. I think you understand what I mean. Like if a monkey came and jumped on me... For me that is super normal but for you guys it is unique. I just don't think to write home about such things and soon forget they even happened. 

As far as work went this week we found a few new investigators. The first is the Congolese family I told you about over the call. We have an appointment with hem on Tuesday and I am excited for it. Another is named Aisha (goodness, another Aisha). She is a Muslim in a way. She was born Muslim but has never really practiced. When both of her parents died she just dropped it all together and has been without religion for a while. We picked her up Sunday morning and walked with her to church. She loved it and loved how friendly everyone was. So we are excited for her. Another is Joseph. I might have mentioned him earlier. He is from South Sudan and is really a smart guy. He is 28 and in the later years of his college. He is really interested in the church. Currently he is Jehovah's Witness but has found many flaws in that church. Right now he is pretty happy with what he has found in ours. Right now, that is the small update on our work this side. 

Well, I believe that is it for the week. Again, it was great to see your guys yesterday. Have a good week! I Love you all!!

Love,

Elder McLain

CRAZY CONNECTION OF THE DAY! Courage's current companion is Elder Cooper's older brother! Elder Cooper is the adopted Ethiopian that came on his mission with me. I met him at the airport and we have been pretty much best buds since we met. He is from Salem Utah and we will probably be good friends at home. And his older brother (not adopted) is Courage's companion! How awesome is that?!
