Ninety Six Weeks

Hello Everyone!

We have transfers this week! It is really weird, because now all those that had more time than me in the mission have gone home and I am now in the group of missionaries that have more time than anyone else (6 weeks left to go). It's going to be an interesting last transfer as well because Elder Mooneyham is moving on to a different area and I am going to be with an Elder from Peru (Elder Tuncar). I was surprised; I had really been expecting to be sticking with Elder Mooneyham but it ought to be fun to finish with a latino companion. I've had one from Chile and a good few from different parts of Argentina, but never a companion from Peru. All the same, he will make it a nice round number of 20 companions that I have had haha.

Other than that, there is not a whole lot crazy new to be honest. We did find a lot of new investigators and then had 3 investigators in church on Sunday, which was really awesome. I also followed up with the Radio Station and learned how to work their system, and so now a week from Wednesday we are going to start with that and it should be fun. The site is www.clicradioweb.com.ar for anyone that wants to look it up (9-10pm argentine time Wednesday and Thursday, 8pm-9pm argentine time Sunday, starting the 15th).

I love you all though and hope that you all have a great week!

Love,

Elder McCollum

2438 - When you get to have a lot of time in the mission, your shoes can get a little worn out.

2439 - There was still plenty of rubber left, but the holes would get rocks in them, so I came up with a creative fix. "Dill with it"

2441 - Another repair to be made to our pench - the black plastic part was separating from the shiny part, spraying water everywhere and killing the water pressure. Once again, a creative (though hopefully temporary) fix.
