It was a good week!

Hello everyone!  This week was good.  Had a lit conference watching session at the church on my phone with everyone because the leaders didn't show up to unlock the room for the tv... Conference was super cool, lots of personal inspiration was received, go watch it if you haven't and watch it again if you have!  The mission is lit, i love the ward I'm in right now and the work is moving nicely.  Had an exchange but a rainstorm kept us from doing work for a day so we stayed for the morning after to get some stuff done! I'm not one to talk about numbers a whole lot...but we had a great miracle as a mission last month. So, we are usually sitting around 150 baptisms a month but this last month we were able to break 200! We got 222 baptisms this last month and that was so cool to see it all happen and be apart of this work here in Africa. Ok enough number talk.  I bought ranch today, if you know me you know that's super exciting for me! Me and my comp got stuck in a ...

This last week was good!  - had zone conference and it went pretty good! Good presentations were given and I learned a lot!  - had an exchange with Elder Belnap but home boy was super sick in the morning so, he slept while I cleaned the house out of boredom - had an amazing lesson with a new friend who said he has showed his friends the brochure and they are interested, too!  - giant rain storm came in and destroyed so many houses! It flooded like 20 houses, destroyed the showers (the showers here are for the whole parcel), a  couple people's boutiques and the roads...crazy storm  - had the coldest shower of the mission yet from the rain cooling it down, it might be because I haven't had a good hot shower in over a year and a half, but cold showers are so nice - had stake conference on Sunday, it was supposed to be 10-12 but it was 10:30-1:30...we love Togo time! - on the bus back from stake conference I was teaching members the Macarena dance, and they taught m...

My Week

This week was good!  Had transfers and had the chance to go over to Benin for a few days and do MLC. It was awesome and I got to see some old mission buddies. It was a good time to hangout with them and be able to see how their missions are going!  We were also able to baptize Pierre, who was a Jehovah's Witness but once he heard the plan of salvation and read the  Book of Mormon he knew they were wrong and is set on getting his family to know, too! He such a dawg and loves the gospel, his baptism was pretty dang cool!  Not much else to update on, the mission is awesome, as always and having lots of fun here in Tokoin. The members are awesome and the work is working!  Have a great week everyone!  Love,  ELDER McKee
