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
