Wow another week has come and gone! Time just flies--I can’t believe it! This week has been a week of wrapping up
things and goodbyes!
As of yesterday I finished my training and now I am a
beautiful, normal missionary who doesn’t need any special help because I should
know everything! I’m very happy my
training is over though, because really you’re just kinda treated like a dummy
for those first 12 weeks. I have
completely enjoyed these past 12 weeks with my comp, Elder Davis, and we have
had a ton of success together!
Why? Because we have been
exactly obedient and because we have worked our booties off every second of
these 12 weeks. I have no regrets.
I had my evaluation this week and my comp and I were
selected to practice with the PRESIDENT!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous in my whole life! I was so scared I have no clue what I said or
how it went, but afterward President commented on my Spanish and how good it
was and then after we walked away my comp was like, "Holy cow, Elder
Mcclure! We killed it!" So what a surprise that was for me! I thought it probably had gone quite horribly,
but then again what do I know ... I was not completely all there through it.
Also a bit ago I got bit by a dog ... not bad enough to bleed, but it sure made me a bit angry and for a sec I didn’t think "what would Jesus do" and almost booted that thing out of Mexico. It was a little mid-sized black dog and it seemed so harmless until at the last second it turned and snapped ... kinda like Satan right? So since then I’ve been threatening every dog that gets close to me and my leg is ready to boot at any moment!
Fast Sundays are by far the hardest days here on the mission
... It’s one thing to fast, but when its 95 degrees and you’re walking miles
and miles and miles ... it gets to the point of dangerous. Thankfully we are blessed and I feel so much
closer to the Lord when I fast. Fasting
is so necessary. I don’t know what I’d do without it. I
desperately need those blessing that come from fasting.
We got word that my comp is headed for a different area
tomorrow and that’s kinda sad to see him leave but we’ve had a killer time
together and I’m excited to do the same with my next comp -- whoever he is.
