Hey guess what!! I'm super stressed right now!! I brought my old memory card with the intention of storing all of my pictures on dropbox today because my memory is full and guess what!! I lost the memory! All of my mission photos from the first 18 months gone!!! I'm stressed!!! Once I finish writing you I'm gonna go retrace my steps and look for it. I think I know where it's at but it's gonna be hard to find! That if it's still there.
But hey! This week was a super busy week for us as missionaries! On Tuesday we had conference and it lasted basically the entire day! We didn't leave there until like 4:30! It was way too long.... not to mention I feel like every conference they talk about the same thing!! In the beginning of my mission I loved conference because I felt pumped up and animated when it was done but now I just sit there and think to myself, ¨Why do these things take so long?¨; but in the end I realize the reason they take so long is because the zone leaders that talk try to make a huge elaborate lesson that really isn't necessary at all just so they can explain the importance of talking to people in the street and contacting. I thought that Elder Uchtdorf said it best when he spoke in general conference about the importance of simplifying our discipleship and teachings.
After that, on Wednesday we had a pretty average day of work and the following day we had divisions! We left our area and worked with some other Elders in another area called La Honduras. It's a nice community built on the side of a mountain and round about are a bunch of students in apartments. The divisions were nice and a change of pace that was well needed. Friday started off with another district meeting as always and well our leader didn't really have anything planned so he decided that he wanted to do a testimony meeting. It was cool I guess but I don't think anybody was ready for that. Everybody should always be ready to bear testimony in all places at all times but truly it's nice to know ahead of time that testimonies will be shared. It's like if on the third Sunday of the month out of nowhere the bishop stands up and says, ¨hey I didn't assign anybody to talk, so today is testimony meeting¨; its awkward.
However, the week came to a very solid end with us having 8 investigators in church and it was awesome!! Not only was the morning super successful but that afternoon we organized divisions and we were able to recover a ton of lost time! So all in all it was a good week; ups and downs but in the end more ups than downs!!! I love you all and I know you love me.
Elder Jonah McKee
