Man!!! I can't believe you wrote me!!!!!!! HAHA I'm joking! :)
Listen I am so jealous you got to go to the Color Festival! I love that place! I think it's such a fun experience to run and throw powder at people!!! I seriously love going way too much. Thanks tons for the pictures too! You guys killed it on pictures this year. Seriously I loved seeing you all smiling and living life up! It's funny to see you all how you are now and not how I left you in the house 18 months ago. You're all getting skinny and even more good looking than before!! I'm so happy to see you all! Truly though I hope Spencer one day finds the girl he is looking for but until he does I hope he is just having fun with life and doesn't rush into anything. I would love to have the opportunity to meet the future wife of Spencer before he marries her but if that's not how it works then that's fine too.
This week was super awesome for me! This was my last week here in San Marcos and not only was it a last but it was also a first for me here. This week I had the incredible opportunity to baptize Mariela!!! She has been trying very hard to come to a decision about baptism for quite some time now and about 2 weeks ago, out of the blue, she told me that she had a dream that I baptized her in a river and that she knew it was inspired of God. In that same instant, she told us that she knew the church is the kingdom of God here on the earth and so I invited her to be baptized and only weeks later we were able to make her dream a reality and I was so blessed to have taken part in that!
I will be sad to leave San Marcos behind but I'm excited to start my new adventure in my new area! I will be serving in the capital, Tegucigalpa, again. I'm going to be serving as a Trainer once again but now I won't be a district leader. I'm excited to have less responsibility as a leader and be able to focus as much as I can on being a trainer. I am a little nervous though because serving in the city is much different than serving here in the south and a part of me feels like I have forgotten how to teach people who truly grasp the message. I almost feel like I'm gonna be a kindergarten teacher trying to teach high school kids. I'm nervous but I know I'll be able to do it. I love the Lord and He is at my side always.
Also I had a huge gift presented to me this week!! One of my favorite drunks ever finally came to his senses and allowed me to help him!! I made a deal with him that if he went to his house and showered and shaved then I would buy him some clean clothes and cut his hair and luckily he did it!!! This week we were teaching this one friend of ours, Gavo, and out of nowhere came Chepito the drunk who wasn't drunk anymore. He had shaved and showered and he came to sing and play guitar with us. In the end it was an awesome way to spend one of my last days in San Marcos and I won't ever forget it!
It has been a huge blessing to serve here and I have learned so much! I look forward to the new adventure the Lord has in store for me, I know it's going to be great!!!
Love,
Elder Jonah McKee
