High Bridge, Humorous Pictures, Transfers, Rain Walking, Magic and Getting Henry Dunked: October 14, 2013

Hello people,

The 2nd to last real email from Elder McClure so I'll make it worth your while. Last p-day we got together for a district p-day to play games at the chapel and walk the high bridge. We played like 3 rounds of Uno until the rain lightened up and the Buckingham elders got there. Same old same old with the bridge. We tried walking up to the vultures (they sit on the bridge all the time) really slowly to go touch them, but Elder Fish always scared them away so we couldn't get it done.  Then we took funny pictures of me and the other two Elders: E. Lundell and Hansen were taking a lot of posed pictures of their muscles. Also we threw rocks off the side into the river to see how far they would go.
The next day we tried to get appointments and clean the church but both fell thru so we tracted and tried to see people. The Burkeville Elders came up to do an exchange, to trade Elder Hansen for Elder Smith.  It took time for them to switch because the Chappells drove them up to switch in Buckingham. We also got to prepare Henry for baptism and give back-to-school blessings for the kids in a family.   
We cleaned the church the next day so we had fun doing that and setting chairs back up and we had a very long walk around in the rain. Some middle school girls were walking behind us and singing "Under my Umberella" and I started singing it to fit Elder Martineau's name in it. It was pretty funny.
We had transfers and we got our third comp., Elder Barlow, who’s a nice guy but plays a lot of Magic. Basically the rest of our week was walking long distances in the rain (a really nice misty rain going on) and talking to people.
On my 2 year mark, October 12, we went to Macados for dinner.  I got a Sherlock Holmes sandwich which was pretty good.  After dinner we got Henry interviewed for baptism. We brought Elder Mathia and Hansen with us and that made 5 elders with Henry which made him kind of nervous. But he passed. Awesome!!! Now we are getting ready for him to be baptized on the 19th, this Saturday.  It will be my last baptism. Sorry for the shortness of this email but I have like 3 elders on my back to finish so we can go.

I love you all!

Elder McClure
