Jonah's Semana 59 - I Speak Spanish like a White Guy


Monday, December 14, 2015

Hey mom, don’t sweat! I won’t come home early!! BTW...I actually will be here 2 weeks more than what I had previously thought! The new missionary standards in the MTC have made a change to the time each person will be serving in the mission. I was informed this week that I will now be serving for 20 days more than what was originally thought.

 

I won’t lie I think that is very cool but it will suck for one reason. I am almost positive that now I will be missing 3 Halloweens and not just 2. I know you love that holiday and so do I! I love all of the chili and homemade rolls people always make during that time of year especially at the ward chili cook off! But no worries, all is well and the time has been going incredibly fast! For that reason I know these extra days that were just added on won’t even make a difference in how the 2 years feels! Can you even believe that I only have 10 months left?!?! Well technically 11 months now that the time has been changed but still!!!! The mission is way too fast! I have finally been able to get in on all of the jokes and all of the people understand my Spanish and it’s awesome!!

 

I won’t lie though; I have a super white accent that I need to work on. I guess the other missionaries say it is the whitest accent of all the missionaries but I don’t really care :P I have a wide vocab and people understand me so that is what is important. I will however keep working on the accent but its chill for now. So yea I guess the main thing I can tell you is that I am staying with my white son Elder Rogers and I am very stoked about that! He is an awesome guy and thanks to us both being white it makes the whole Christmas spirit thing like super real! I love him to pieces and not only him but his mom too! Haha. His family sent a big Christmas package and sent me 2 presents inside. I don’t know what they are yet but I’m stoked to find out!

 

Anyways in other news I have been pretty sick as of late! I have been, walking around the past couple of days with diarrhea and not only that but I’ve been throwing up a ton too! Haha. I still however would take the diarrhea and vomiting I’ve been having any day over the abdominal cramps that I started out with! I still however don’t know what I have but me and the mission nurses are pretty much positive I have a parasite.  I mean I have done a year in Honduras and I haven’t had a parasite yet so I guess now it’s my turn to be struck with one!

 

Really though all is well and I have loved my time this week! My comp and I found a good group of new investigators this week and we are very anxious to see how they progress!

 

I love you tons and I hope you’re doing okay!
Elder Jonah McKee
