Hi mom what’s up, how are you doing? Guess what mom, I’m sitting on a tour bus. Remember when we were in Honduras 2 years ago and we had to take a tour bus to Roatan? Well, I’m sitting on a tour bus like that one, but this one is like the one that you had that didn’t have AC. I don’t know if you remember how bad you sweat on these buses, but at least we’re in the mountains so it won’t get too hot. Sometimes it gets really hot but we will only be on it for 1 hour instead of 5 like last time.
Elder Rogers almost died today, well at least he thinks he did, his heart is still racing. He was cleaning out his shoes and a giant millipede fell out of them. It was pretty big. He was about 3 seconds from putting his shoe on when the Spirit told him to clean them out again. When he did, the millipede fell out and it was easily 5 inches. I don’t know what kind of millipede it was, but everyone here is super freaked out by them. They said they are super venomous and that they can kill people. So my companions pretty sure that the Spirit prompted him and it saved his life today. I mean, who cleans their shoes out so many times? He says that when the millipede flew out he thought it was a snake so he called for me. When I got to the room, I told him not to touch it because it could kill him. It was hissing at him, it was on it’s legs and hissing and then it grew wings and started to fly. Elder Rogers says the rattle on its tail was going and it was hissing and then it started breathing fire. Haha. No he really did get close. He almost died, he better go read his scriptures right now.
Today we are going to meet some friends for Pday and play some soccer. It will be great. This week we had a lot of visits and that was cool. Last night we met a girl named Lillian who is a member and she was baptized about 11 years ago. When she got baptized she did it because she had a dream that her step brother baptized her and she thought it was true. She fell away from the church about 3 years ago and says that she is okay where she’s at right now. We challenged her to go back and pray and ask God who sent her a dream if she should go back to the church because He will give her an answer. She said she will pray, she should be coming back soon. We don’t want to push too hard because she’s a little bit stubborn and wants to do things on her own terms, but you know, girl, you gotta do you. J
Yesterday we had 18 people at church. That’s a lot, right mom? Anyways, we need to do better. Hey mom, we’re trying to come up with activity ideas. You know things we can do to create unity. There’s like 100 registered members here, but on a good day, only like 30 of them show up. So we want to put on some activities to create more unity. We are going to start teaching seminary on Thursdays, teaching English on Fridays and watching movies on Saturdays. Well, we’re going to watch movies if we can figure out how to get a TV. I guess that since we’re a group we don’t have any church funds, so we don’t have any budget to work with. So we’re thinking we’re going to sacrifice the money and buy a computer screen because they’re pretty cheap. We don’t need to be able to run cable or anything through it, just a DVD. So, I think it will be the cheapest option, but we’ll see how it works though.
If you have any good ideas that wouldn’t take much money, tell
us. We also don’t have a lot of time, so we can’t do any big meals or anything
like that either. We were thinking of doing a photo scavenger hunt, or minute
to win it, or something like that.
Okay mom, be safe, be good. I love you tons. Take care. Life
is good.
Love,Elder Jonah McKee
