Rat Hunting!

Hey y’all, another week down here in Benin, Africa! 


Bullet points
• had a family night at Bernards house. Had like 27 people there, it was awesome! Ate some fire food after, great time, everyone was engaged and loved it! 
• been getting all our baptismal candidates ready for this big group baptism we are doing so not alot of time to find but God still helps us! Found a group of bros that are super interested and loved the Book of Mormon
• when we were up in Sakete the member that usally helps us was gone...weird...but we went and did our lessons and when we got back to the car to leave the member came walking up with a bag...we asked what was in said bag, he looked at us with a smirk on his face and said "we went hunting..." instantly I was interested, asked what it was and it was a HUGE Rat big enough to be a small dog! He said him and his buddy wanted to eat rat tonight so they went hunting and got one and now were about to cook it.  Man, how badly I wanted to stay and eat it with them, but we had to get to Cotonou for a meeting so we couldn't. BUT, I am working on getting a day planned to go hunt rat and eat it with him...stay tuned. 
• family night at Presidents house, so lit, we played signs and it was awesome. Such a fun game, then we ate some delicious lasagna. Holy crap I was in heaven with that stuff in my mouth and stomach, and Sister Lundeen being an absolute angel made us homemade rolls...I was close to tears y'all. It was so good! 
* also got a lit package from momma for my birthday! Lots of delicious treats and all birthday cake flavored, even protein powder! Even my Uncle Andrew and Aunt Fran came in clutch with the best homemade jerky I've tasted! Big dubs ladies and gents, big dubs out here (all of it is almost gone...please help me) 

Not much else to write about, this next week we got to do all our baptismal interviews. The ZLs are coming up to do them and we planned a whole day of them doing only interviews! This Sunday gonna be CRAZY y’all, so many miracles have been happening! 

Spiritual thought this week: 
STUDY THE SCRIPTURES!! Study them with a purpose, a reason, or a question, as you study with these you will feel the spirit more, better understanding! 

Love you all 
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...
