Howdy
friends!
Life was much
better this week--thankfully.
I’ve still had
a cold and allergies, but I can work without any problem and I’ve been going
good.
We had a Zone
Conference this week that lasted 6 hours!
SIX hours! It was long, but it
was good.
Now we are
allowed to play sports like basketball, as long as we don’t keep score so I’m
pretty JACKED right now. After writing
we are going to have a BBQ with the other elders and then go shoot hoops! It’s our celebration for Valentine’s Day
yesterday. About V-day… I hate V-day. In the mission, in Mexico, Valentine’s Day
is the absolute worst. On every corner
there are couples just making out like crazy locos and no one is home and so we
just walk around all day watching people make out and oh man—gross, gross,
gross. I’m very glad that’s over. The one fun part about yesterday was that I
was remembering what happened a year ago on the last V-day when I was with my
trainer Elder Davis and we had pretty much the same experiences (haha, Mexico
never changes).
This week we
found new people to teach and dropped some people that weren’t progressing and
taught some pretty awesome lessons. Last
night we were teaching a family about charity and stuff like that and the
little 13-year-old daughter was super mad for some reason and didn’t want to
participate or anything. But by the end
of the lesson the parents were sharing their testimonies on how much they love
their children and everyone was crying and it was just great. I love when everyone cries in a lesson. We have 2 ladies who are progressing really
quickly. They are both like hooked on
the Book of Mormon and just want to keep learning more and more and they ask really,
really good questions. The only thing is
they haven’t attended church. We are
praying really hard that they do because if they don’t attend, we will have to
drop them.
The sisters in
my district have also been sick and had problems with sprained ankles and eye
problems and it’s been really rough. But
right now it’s looking like things are shaping up and we are all getting back
to being focused, happy missionaries.
The best part
about this week was getting to hold a giant baby girl bunny that weighed a TON! AND receiving
a gift from one of the missionaries in my district. She drew me a picture of my Baby Girl Muffins
chillin’ in my hammock, and oh man it’s so awesome. I’m gonna frame it. Anywho, I love bunnies.
Things are
going good. I’m really enjoying the work
right now and the people we have to teach.
People are receptive and hungry to learn more--just how it should be!
All be well,
Love,
Elder McClure
