Week 96

Well well well time has passed very quickly and my time is coming to a close very quickly! 11 short days left of being a set apart servant of the Lord! That's a weird feeling to wrap my head around still! 
Well this last week was a super good week. We had zone conference and I gave my departing testimony there. It was tough to do.  I  also gave a talk at church and it was a solid lesson talk. It was on Christ-like attributes, attributes of the Savior! The person who talked before me only talked for 6 minutes so had to stretch my talk. I  was able to stretch it from 12 minutes to 17 minutes. It  was a pretty good feeling being able to wing it in another language! Griselda and Sonia are doing really good. They both came to church and had an awesome time. Today was also Elder Christopherson's birthday. We threw a surprise party for him and I smashed cake in his face. 
Well I love you all. Thanks for supporting me these last 2 years! 
Have a great week!

Week 95

Hey Everyone!! Another week down! Wow!!!, this week has been a very interesting week! We were able to have a lot of really good lessons with our investigator Griselda and she is progressing super well! It feels so weird teaching her cuz she just doesn't doubt anything we say. She just listens and understands. When she does have a question, she is not afraid to ask and really understand what we are teaching her. It's pretty amazing! Her son is now taking the discussions with her. Her husband has now agreed to listen and be taught as well. Awesome!
Down side of this week was that Elder Christopherson got pretty sick on Saturday. He was battling through it then to top it off our car got towed!!! So then we had to go all the way to the Houston East Mission to go get it out of the impound lot. Let's just say that wasn't a cheap adventure or a fun phone call to make!!! 
After that Elder Christopherson was not good at all, so we had to just stay inside Saturday night. So it was a rough week getting out and working but when we did we had some solid lessons!
One of the kids in the branch got baptized! The Sisters taught him and we were able to give him the Holy Ghost.
Wow, I didn't take any pics this week haha. Sorry!
Love you all!
Elder McKeon



Week 94

Hey y'all it's been another great week! This week was really wild! Elder Christopherson and I will be staying together for these last weeks of my mission and I'm super excited for that! Tuesday I was on exchanges with Elder Larsen and man was that killer. We biked almost 30 miles in 102 degree weather. Man was that sucky and sweaty! hahaha On Wednesday, we were able to go to the Temple and that was a great trip. Love being there! Weird having it  be the last temple trip before I go home. Look Grandma! I  sewed! Yes I did! I did a good job too! 
This week Sonia, Griselda and her son, Jesse were all able to come to church. It has been a super great week!
I love y'all

Week 93

Man, man, man, it's weird that I'm already back emailing again! So this week was wild! We found a new investigator named Griselda and she is so awesome! She was actually a referral from the México city sisters. She had met with missionaries in the past and so she called them and was like I want missionaries to come and visit me again and so she's super prepared. She's been reading the book of Mormon on her own as well She accepted a baptism date for the 25th of August and were gonna be teaching her son starting this week as well! So we're super excited for her. We had our investigator Sonia come to church as well! We also were able to go out and do some service for some members so that was way fun. We  had interviews with our mission president, President Guthrie. That was very fun getting to know him better! He's way awesome! He and I are very similar haha He said that like 6 times in our interview. Plus, he knows Bryce Harper! For those of you that don't know he's my all time favorite sports player. We talked a little about him and just the mission in general so that was a good time. His main focus for me was the same as President Hall, which was sprint and keep sprinting. So I'm gonna continue to sprint and keep sprinting! 
Love y'all 
Have a great week

Week 92

Hey y'all! Another great week here! This week was an interesting one too. We'll to begin we said our goodbyes to President and Sister Hall. That was such a bummer. He has been a wonderful example to me. I will miss him and his leadership and guidance. We meet Pres Guthrie this Thursday.
Our car wasn't working so we had to bike all week. That meant one day we did 25 miles haha. I also went on exchanges with some other elders and man that was so weird. I was asked by a 50 yr old woman to be her boyfriend and then to marry her daughter. Hahaha That was pretty wild. My district is so big I have to go on exchanges every week of this transfer so that should be way exciting! I love the work! I love being back in Sunny Side!
I love you all 
Have a great week!
Happy 4th!

Week 91

Hey everyone!! 
Man another great week! So today we ran a 5k as a good bye celebration, ya a 5k as a goodbye celebration, hahaha. Going to miss Pres Hall. 
My first week back in Sunny Side and man was it  the best! It was so awesome to be back and see all the people.  A sister that helped me in the hurricane get my meds was so excited I was back. Her non-member husband called us and asked us when we were coming over. We went out and tried to see a lot of people this last week and was able to set a lot of appointments. It was so crazy to be back and I had so many flashbacks of my last time here. Man it  was so amazing. My new comp is amazing his name is Elder Christopherson. He's from Fresno and we get along so well. It's amazing! We have so much fun! Lots of work to do here! 
Love you all!

Well crazy story, but I'm back in Sunny Side! Yup I'm back baby hahaha!!! So H4 (the ward I    was in in Houston) got shut down and President sent me back to Sunny Side. YEAH baby!!!! Nobody has an idea of how happy I am! The last week in H4 we played baseball on Saturday for Father's day and man, let me tell you, that was so much fun! 
Other than that nothing to crazy! Just a lot of finding! A lot of looking actually!
Time is flying by... I've got 9 weeks left so I've got to make the most of it here in Sunny Side!!!!
