Holy crap does not feel like Christmas! Probably cause it’s about 90 degrees with 78 % humity as I'm writing this… it's super weird to think it's Christmas already! I miss the snow and the cold and not sweating 24/7, y'all that are cold rn...your lucky!  Tuesday we had our zone conference and it was lit! We talked about spiritual gifts that God has given us and how we can use it to better fulfill our mission objective! We also talked about our mission wide vision and goals...let me tell ya, some BIG things are gonna happen to the Benin Cotonou mission these next couple years 😎 it’s gonna be legit! Then after for lunch they made us all T-bone steaks from Salt Lake City! It was the first real beef I've had (the beef here isn't normal) and it was delicious! Got talking with president Lundeen, turns out he's an avid hunter! So of course we talked about it for like an hour about deer hunting and elk and just about the outdoors! I twas so nice to be talking with ...

Hello everyone, how's y'all Christmas season going? Hope you all are getting excited and going to tbe giving machines the church is putting up!! (Ya know…there's stuff in those to Africa...maybe I'll see the goat you give a family 😁) This week was a fun one for sure! Did more contacting and taught some lessons...the usual i guess...but it's still fun!  This week on types of people we contacted:  -a dude from Togo...speaks only English and Eve, his wife speaks only French and Eve… don't really know how that happened...buttt he started yelling about how everything in Benin is voodoo, i though it was hilarious, he is legitimately scared of Benin. -a lady that said she was to busy to come to church and be taught...then she showed up to church yesterday with her husband! Pretty sick!! -a girl from Florida! Both her parents are from Togo, but they went to Florida for her dad’s job or somethin, i don’t remeber. She grew up Catholic but she came back to Togo to "s...

Hey y'all welcome back to another email of my adventures here in Kelegougen Togo!  This last week was fun! But also a little rough! We had transfers and because Tolman is an office elder  we got to go "help" and by help I mean go talk with everyone and load some bags, it was lit! My group is no longer the youngest group, the new missionaries seem so chill and funny! They seemed so confused and nervous, ahhh feels like 7 weeks ago that was me, so long ago but also felt like yesterday! This is my last transfer with Elder Tolman...last six weeks of training, I got a lot to figure out before then.  So, what made this week a little rough was almost every single one of our lessons feel through and so we were doing a but load of contacting. Buttt that makes for some fun stories! We found alot of interesting people... let me tell ya about them: a momma who does voodoo and is Catholic. She said "gotta do both so I'm just extra safe!" I wanted to show her Matthew 6: 2...

Should I be doing Voodoo?

Hey y’all, it's me Elder McKee! Welcome back to another episode of my youtube channel! Before we begin make sure to hit like and subscribe!!  Okay y'all for real  tho, sorry for last weeks email. I reread it and it wasn't that interesting. I was beating myself up and wasn't in the happiest of moods, BUT after that email I ate some pineapple hi-chews and all was well and a member said my French sounded good, so that made me happy haha. Shout out to my momma for sending those hi-chews btw! Okay, this past week was pretty dang fun! Let me tell ya about it!  From Tuesday-Thursday Tolman and I had absolutely ZERO rondez-vous planned so we were contacting every day for 4 days straight, but we had some crazy contacts. And I made alot of contacts so it was lit! I actually love contacting not gonna lie. You never know who is gonna answer the door, or what the person on the street is gonna be like! Pretty freaking awesome! We met Muslims that didn't want to talk to us, Cathol...
