Hi Family,
Well, fun last week before transfer calls and I got one but you’ll have to read through my long email to get to it.
Fun time on Monday where we did nothing except teach a really cool lesson to this couple, Ashley and Ameall, on the Restoration which they are really interested in and Ameal has a lot of interesting questions. While we were teaching them the TV had that movie on where the bus has a bomb on it and they have to go over 50 miles an hour to keep it from exploding. Then we had dinner at the Dubon’s which is always a really good treat for us because Brother Dubon is really funny and is an RM.
On Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Jones in Meadowbrook. I had to use elder Harris's bike (Elder Jones's companion) which is really crappy on brakes and the chains suck. Most of the day everything fell thru and later we had a lesson with a recent convert named Katie and the member we brought with us kept going really deeply into her being tempted by Satan and how Katie will be tried. Crazy weird. Then we went to a member’s house for dinner and they fed us a lot of pie. Elder Jones leaves tomorrow. A lot of missionaries are leaving to go home and we are getting a lot of missionaries in return. Mostly sisters.
Wednesday we had a zone conference with President Perry speaking and he was really sick, but when he spoke to us he didn’t cough once. He talked to us about ward council and other things. I found out that President Perry knows how to juggle. I always help out the sisters with their trash which President Perry always appreciates from me. We spent the rest of the day in Oak Grove where we just biked and talked with some cool people. I really love biking in Oak Grove and being there because of all the cool graffiti and broken down buildings which are really interesting to bike around and the hills are not as big as in Meadowbrook.
Thursday we just taught S. Houn more English and she fed us rice and steak with the most sodium laced soy sauce ever. We also drove around after that and I was able to buy a butterfly knife from the flea market and it is so cool. I duct taped the blade so I can practice cool tricks. We had dinner at the home of the oldest daughter of our bishop and she is so talkative and also her roommate is pretty funny as well. One of them is the Relief Society president and the other the Young Women’s president in Oak Grove and they are really annoyed with the branch presidency. It is so frustrating how people can get offended so fast and stuff like that.
The rest of the week wasn’t much to brag about since the three way is Elder Durrant and Elder Canova taking over everything and I’m in the background. Elder Durrant is what I would call a “knowledge missionary” which means he will not bear frequent testimony but he will pull things out of the scriptures. Oh well. Funny thing yesterday: We got out of a lesson where the lady gave me a soda so I put it in my backpack and we were biking around Oak Grove and this lady down the street is like, “Can you wish me a happy birthday because I am having a bad birthday.” Then she went on about that she didn’t even get a soda for her birthday so I said, “Weird thing is that I just happen to have a soda in my backpack.” Her face got so happy and she thanked me and then the other elders gave her a card and a pamphlet.
Well, on to transfer calls. Elder Canova is now district leader of Meadowbrook with Elder Harris as his companion. Elder Durrant is training in Oak Grove and I have the weirdest transfer ever. I am going to be with Elder Capson, an elder about to go home who is very lazy and uses his Kindle all night and sleeps in till 10. I will be with him for 3 weeks, then I will either be training a newbie for three weeks if his knee surgery is successful or in a three way with Meadowbrook. So, fun stuff and I will be majorly stretched this transfer so send letters and candy for me to keep my sanity.
Well, love you all,
Elder McClure
