First sickness/transfers
Fun week...let me tell ya about it 😁😁
Start this week off y'all, i got sick...we were pulling up to a members house, just buying some cookies cause we gonna party, and this pain pulls on up in my stomach, no biggy it will leave...it didn’t.
At the member's house I knew I had to throw up but I was trying to hold it down until we left. Well, I did that for about an 1 1/2-2 hours then this home boy wanted to come out so me and Miller walked outside the parcel and I threw up on a trash pile...bought some water bags and went in. They didn't even question it…they bring the food out ..oh joy it's a big plate of rice...imma die.
I start eating...got about 5 bites in and had to sprint out the parcel and into the road and threw up...they saw that one...whole parcel did, one little girl followed me (never had she ever seen a white Usain Bolt) and while I am throwing rice chucks out my nose and mouth thinking imma die here in Africa in this barf trash pile, she said "yovo...bobadaylooo" (white...sorrryy) and i know she was trying to be nice...but let me die in peace, please!
Walked back inside and the mom there was nice enough go give me citron juice (lime juice or something like that) told me it helps not throw up...chugged it...5 minutes later I turn into the flash and book it out for a third time to heave! This poor trash pile is now drenched in my insides...me and Miller left after that.
Upon getting home and feeling dead I showered snd decided to drink some water before going to bed, before even setting the bottle down I was running to the bathroom to throw up... little water and a lot of stomach acid...went to bed on a VERY empty stomach that day, had a weird fever dream that I swear was real. Next day I was feeling like a zombie and district council i was on a different planet, i was lowkey showing some signs of malaria so i was scared for a day or two but it passed. Not malaria, just a weird sickness. We're all good, had coordination meeting that day, and while waiting for the DMP to come, I don't remember laying down but I woke up on the ground using my bag as a pillow...
ALSO HAD TRANSFERS!!
it was a party! Gotta hangout at the office for a while and talk with a bunch of missionaries while waiting for the Benin missionaries to get here. It was a party, President showed some of us those who are coming in and we got absolute studs coming here, they are gonna love it!
After a few hours the Bus from Benin got in and we gotta say hi to all them and my new companion. Elder Grass, he's from Salt Lake, we got all his stuff said toodles and dipped to Sanguera. Upon arriving we dropped his bags, drank some water (didn't throw up) and dipped to go visit some friends and show up Elder Grass!
Pretty great day. Elder Grass is a G and we are about to explode Sanguera! Got some good plans this transfer! Gonna be lit! Super excited to see what happens and how it all plays out cause we can plan but God is gonna change those plans for what he needs done!
Random things that happened:
-saw 3 dead bodies on the way to transfers (motto crash)
-bought some paigne
- a dude on a motto told us "AFRICANS DONT NEED JESUS" (in english) (he's wrong)
- ate patte
- got a 10 pound package of candy from momma (thank you!!!)
- saw a dude on the road reading our brochure...from missionaries a year ago, he is super cool
- saw some cute dogs
- had an activity with President, super cool! Went to about 10:15, our apartment was 45 min drive...didn't get to bed before 10:30...
- took a nap
- ate pizza and mozzarella sticks
- watched a mango tree burn
- ate hi-chews
Small spiritual thought:
2 Nephi 28
It talks about false churches in the last day and pastors that are corrupt and say it's ok to sin a little here and there or drink a little alcohol here and there.
THATS WRONG!
We need to be following every commandment to the best of our ability. so many churches here are so bluntly fulfilling the Bible and Book of Mormon prophesies but they don't see it. They do exactly what the Bible says will happen in the last says and they don't see it…it's crazy to me. Follow the commandments. It says it so many times "those who follow the word of God and be saved...don't follow the word of God and not be saved" -almost any chapter of scripture.
Anyways, love you all. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Mckee
