Another difficult week for Elder McAlister with being sick,
not able to find a new place to live, and a trunky companion. He knows who his new companion’s name, but
has not met him yet.
Hey Everyone,
Sounds like you guys had a pretty good week, and sounds like
the funeral was sad. I hope Corrine and her family are doing well, and how’s
the rest of the family? Well I wish I could have seen the pictures that sounds
like that was a fun family home evening. Looks like dad is doing well in his
collection in the Olympic pins and mom I love the quotes that you
sent me. Todd and Derek really it’s just embarrassing now!
I haven't had Costa Vida for the longest time and that sounds really
good and Outback Steakhouse sounds like heaven. I’m happy that everyone is
doing well.
This last week was a little harder than the last week as my
companion has checked out and is ready to go home. So this last week was pretty
hard on me and I was doing a lot of the work alone. I also got really sick
to my stomach on Tuesday and it got worse every day since. Until
yesterday, when I thought I was going to need to go for the hospital.
I wasn't throwing up or anything like that I just had super bad pain
in my stomach and all I can think about is what happened to Kyle Tuscher. I did
ended up taking a lot of Pepto Bismol, but I haven't gotten any
better. But I hope this week I will get better and don't worry I’m
still up and moving and I’m still working. I did talk to the doctor of the
mission and there seems to be a virus going around the mission right now and
I’m hoping I don't have it.
Today we found out about cambios and I am getting a
companion from Argentina, Elder Medina. I will get to meet
him tomorrow and I will tell you guys about him next week because
right now i don't know anything about him. But I got put with other
Elders that work in the sector next to my, so I’m not working with the zone
leaders today. But Elder Coronado left Hualpencillo and he leaves tomorrow in
the morning. I was thinking about it today and I’m guessing that I’m going to have Latino companions all
throughout my mission, but who really knows (HaHa).
We didn't find the house yet, so
the assistants gave us 6 more weeks to find a house. In Hualpencillo
it is impossible to find a house for rent but really easy to find a house for
sale and the mission doesn't want to buy a house. So we are looking
at getting another companionship in Hualpen in the next cambio. But please pray
for us so we can find a house because it is close to impossible to find a house
here in Hualpen.
I did get to go to president’s house yesterday and wow, it
is a super nice place. He pretty much lives where all the rich people live in Concepcion
it was crazy. The cars there where almost all B.M.W,
Camaros, Mercedes and the nice ford cars. President lives
on the top floor of like an apartment building but it’s amazing. It’s also
super close to where the temple is going to be. But they had chocolate chip
cookies there and they were so good!!! I’m really wanting to change houses with
president soon!!!
But I hope you guys have a fantastic week and remember that
I love you guys. Keep on being my awesome family and Sabrina is the best little
sister in the world and Jessica and Brooke are going to have to fight for the
best older sister in the world (HaHa). I love you guys and have a good week and
be safe.
Love you guys!!!
Elder McAlister

Here are a few missionary quotes that Sean’s Mom shared with
him this week:
“Serve every day of your mission in such a way that when you
get out of bed every morning, Satan says, ‘Oh no…HE’S AWAKE!’” Elder Keel—one
of our Boston missionaries
“No missionary can determine the lasting effects of his or
her labors.”
Elder Richard G. Scott
“There is divine purpose in the adversities we encounter
every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.” Elder
James E. Faust
and her favorite scriptures found in Psalms 46:10 "Be
still, and know that I am God".
Until next week enjoy some pictures sent. Have a great week!
