I have been slacking.

Donald is never very talkative, and sent few pictures so I never posted. He is doping great though and wrote a longer letter today. I have posted a group of pictures on face book. Ron

from chris paul.

Well today I got the opportunity to open my mission call. Before I opened it all I could think was the old primary song I used to sing. It goes I hope they call me on a mission when I have grown a foot or two. By then I hope I will be ready. Well tonight as I opened my call it read this.
Dear Elder Paul,
You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Ecuador Quito Mission. You will report to the Mexico Missionary Training Center on Wednesday July 16th, 2014!
well looks like I will be speaking spanish for two years! Thank you to everyone that came to my mission opening!

Dadddd yoooo!!!

 We had a busy week, we set a goal this past week to have 30 lessons, and we knew we could reach it especially with the car, and with heavenly fathers help we were able to have 31 lessons it was great, we were pretty bummed that we didn't find a new investigator this week but we are excited for the week to come to find new people. Our investigator Susan from Kenya Africa passed her baptismal interview this week as well, we are so excited for her this Saturday coming. She was so prepared its great. We also went on a exchange this week with a team that is in my district, and we had a lot of fun his name is Elder Manwaring from boise Idaho, its like his 4th week in the field, it was really good to work with him and help him out hes a good missionary. I had to do quite a lot of running around for missionaries this week since we had the car, taking them to other areas and dentist appointments and so forth. This week just flew bye, this is the last full week of the transfer, we have transfer calls next week so I will be emailing on Tuesday. The transfers for me just literally go bye so fast I blink and its gone. Im also going on another exchange this week with one of the zls im going there it should be a lot of fun. Thanks for all the prayers I really appreciate it love yaaaa!!!

Love Elder McGinnis

 Tell mummy I love her very much and miss her!!!

That was a lot for him. Crazy kid, but he is loving it, doing great and drives me less crazy being there. lol  Ron

Happy April Fool's Day

Got a little bit of conversation out of Donald today. He does not say a lot, but always sends a lot of pictures. I will try to start posting more on facebook since it can be so slow here.  Ron

I'm getting transferred tot the Scotland/Ireland Mission!!!! President said they need me on special assignment!!!! ahhhhh APRIL FOOLS!!!! I'm staying another transfer in Leeds 3 6 months in Leeds 3!!! I'm excited to be with elder barrows again, its gonna be way good, its a 5 week transfer this time so it will go bye so fast. We are also moving in with the assistants to the pres. on the 15th of April, that should be interesting ahah we are in the same ward so we would be saving a lot of money living in one house. My provisional license should be here any day now so when that happens I can start taking driving lessons, I've been studying for the theory test, Ill probably take that test soon hopefully I pass on the first try ahah. It should be fun driving on the other side:) Less actives have been so good, we have reactivated 4-6 less actives since I've been here in Leeds 3 ward it is great. We have a new investigator from Kenya Africa who is so good, her name is Susan, we are so excited for her shes scheduled to be baptized on the 3rd of May. We have many long term investigators who struggle with addictions or need to be married but with faith and hope and helping them each day, they will get there. I cant believe its general conference already it feels like we had it just yesterday, time is going so fast year mark right around the corner I cant believe it at all its going too fast ahaha Well thanks for everything I love you thank you for all the prayers!!!!

This attitude came from his mother. I would never in my life do anything like it. Sure hope my nose does not grow. Ron
