Staying in Sangura

Okay here is a better email that last week! 

This week was pretty lit! I had an exchange with Elder Traye and he is such a stud! From Côté D’ivore and such a spiritual unit, it was such an amazing day learning from him and teaching with him! We were up in Kpalime and it was my heaven up there cause of one thing, MOUNTAINS!! Beautiful glorious earthy triangles towering over the town! It's gorgeous up there, I would not be mad If I got sent up there 👀 

Saw lots of yovos up there, found out it's cause Kpalime is the "touristy" spot of Togo, with waterfalls, a castle, tallest mountain in all of Togo (3,235 ft at the peak), and scam artist trying to get yovos to pay 4 times the normal amount! What more could you want!? 

Anyways the rest of the week has been awesome teaching lessons and trying to work on members more and helping them realize this church is for EVERYONE; their friends, family, neighbors, everyone! So that has been fun, church attendance is up so that’s good! I honestly love Sangura and would not be mad If I spent 6 or 7 transfers up here, it's so much and there's so much work to do, such a big area that has never been touched! 

Story time: got hit by a moto... I have a bruise...


WE GOT TRANSFER CALLS! Me and miller will be staying together for another transfer 🫡 miller is about to do his 4th transfer here in sangura which is along time...but he's a unit so it's all good! 

Highlight of the week! 
2 BAPTISMS!! One for a young girl named Elom, she has family members who are members and has been coming to church for a while, she speaks very little French so it fun to teach her in Ewe...(we has a translator). The second is Benjamin! He's a stud, been coming to church for just about 2 YEARS!! That's insane, but with marriage problems he couldn't get baptized but it all got worked out and now he's baptized!!! He was so happy when we gave him a date he could finally be baptized, his son is baptized already and his kids and wife are coming down from village next month and are interested in seeing what this church is! It's gonna be awesome!! 

Anyways y’all, spiritual thought this week: miracles aren't done, the miracles that happened in the Bible and BOM can happen today! We need faith, faith is important for us every day! Alma 32:21 and Mormon 9:9 

Love you all! Serve someone today! Around the house or wherever you are! 

Love, 
Elder McKee

So, this week was great! We started French and found out we get out a week early! I have 2 more weeks, then I'm in Benin! 14 days! I'm so excited to go serve the people of my mission! We are leaving a week early because some of the mission presidents in Africa have a big conference the next week, so anyone who was suppose to leave that week is leaving earlier so their president is there to greet the new missionaries.   So, here's the weekly Lelekumo section: There's a new elder here from Korea (Elder Yoo) and Lelekumo is so curious about him and he asked him if he know a couple different Chinese actors and Elder Yoo goes “No, they are from China, I'm from Korea" and Lelekumo goes "ohhh OK" then goes quiet for a few minutes while we all talk. He then goes "do you know karate?" And Elder Yoo goes "no...again from China...I think" and Lelekumo goes "Kung fu??" And Yoo goes "thatsJapan I think" and Lelekumo goes “Ha...

 Andy met with the Stake President, President Averett, tonight.  And then we were able to meet with them and Andy pushed the submit button.  EEKKK....a little bit of tears from mom, and excitement all  around.  The wait has been about 8-20 days....so now we wait.  So proud of Andy and his desire to serve and represent our Heavenly  Father.

Hey yall! Another week in Africa down and I loved every second of it!! So, let's go over some highlights of this week, shall we? First off: finally met some people that did Voodoo and it was pretty fun. They seemed like normal people but, when we asked them to come to church they started dancing chanting "we do Voodoo!" And something else i didn't understand (think it was évé) and we just turned around and walked away, pretty fun! Not what I was expecting from Voodoo people and to be honest they could have been lying so we would leave.  It worked tho!  Second: put two more friends on date for baptism!! One dude was being taught in Benin before moving here and our first time meeting him he said "I need to be baptized, I am ready" and so we came to with a plan on when to teach him the lessons and he's already coming to church so November 23rd here we come! He's so excited! Talking about baptisms! We got one this Saturday! We have been teaching this sis...
