I will go I will do and other adventures from the McKee Missionaries: Jonah's Week 7

Monday, December 15, 2014

This week has been one of the quietest weeks of my life. Tegucigalpa is crazy! It's bringing back so many memories I can't even help but love this place! I am in a colony called Paraiso and it's cool but I don't think these people speak the same Spanish as the rest of the world. This language is not Spanish. That much is true. After everything there is a "mmm" sound, it seems like they are constantly humming and I don't get it at all! Oh and guess what! My first day here we were crossing over a stream to go eat at a member's house and the bridge was just a metal piece of something and while I was crossing it broke and my leg fell through and I cut my leg all up! haha! Then the third day here there was a mouse in my closet!! haha Welcome to Honduras!

Well anyways today is p-day and we decided to hike a mountain to this giant white cross that over looks the valley and it was seriously the steepest hike of my life!! It was a ton of fun and I'm starting to appreciate all of the small things in the world at home a lot more!! Well anyways it's been an adventure to say the least and I can't wait to see what else is in store!

Mom I know you want to put money in my account so that I can buy some Christmas presents for the people here but I don't think there is anything I can do. I don't know how to get out money and my comp is a native so I don't know how to communicate with him. There are a lot of families who could use help but I don't know how to help them. This place is insane! I'm always lost and I don't know what's happening but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

Also I just have so much in mind right now I can't even express it. But for now, how is the family? How is the team? And how are you? Also don't worry about me. I am fine and I know this next couple weeks is going to be rough since I don't know the Spanish but I know I'll make do. haha. I'll write more next week, just for now I'm kind of in shock because I don't know what is going on around me ever. Haha. Well love you all and merry Christmas!
