Jonah's Semana 100 - Missionary Superbowl, aka General Conference

Monday, October 3, 2016

Oh man this week came up on us with a great big surprise!! Haha! This last week while my companion and I were doing our weekly planning session we completely forgot to plan for General Conference! When we realized the mistake, we had to go back and scratch a bunch of plans we had made like contacting an area we haven't touched in about a month, two family home evenings, and also a dinner appointment we had set for Saturday at 6. Haha! I don't know why we forgot about conference especially considering that it is basically the Superbowl for missionaries all over the world but oh well, what do you do? 

In the end I truly enjoyed the conference and I loved the part in the talk by Dallin H. Oaks when he laughs at his own joke and then continued onward. I love to see the apostles and know of their humor. Not only did I enjoy his joke but I absolutely adored the words he shared. The way and the form the church works today is faster, easier, and much more efficient. I hope that when I get home I will be able to live the words of Elder Oaks and continue sharing the gospel through other mediums. 

Hey my ankle is pretty tender and I don't know why but it's super weak! I keep twisting it over the littlest things and I can't help it!! It hurts pretty badly sometimes but I don't really plan on telling the nurses about it cuz I really don't think I broke anything I Think I just hit it really hard and it's bruised or something like that. Some days in the night when we get home my ankle is a bit swollen but doesn't usually swell up a whole lot. So I mean shoot, I just have to last 3 more weeks with all this walking and stuff, so I can't let my hinges run out of oil just yet. 

As for the rest of my life, this week we are planning on baptizing a little girl named Mia! However, this all depends on her mother. She is not a member of the church but I have been teaching her on and off  for the past 4 months that I've been here and well, she has finally given us permission to baptize her daughter but she is just not ready yet. I hope she is sure about her decision to let Mia get baptized and that this week we will be able to help them in these last steps to baptism. 

I love you a ton and I miss you! Be safe and laugh often!

Elder Jonah McKee
