Voodoo Kings and Queens (not click bait)

Good week, let me tell ya about it! 

So, this week was pretty normal. Went and found a ton and had some good lessons! Then, Saturday we had zone conference and it was pretty good! Learned how to actually work with facebook cordons and such things. President talked a lot about the family and why it’s important and why we need to talk about the blessings of eternal families much as we can. We also dedicated a bottle of olive oil for blessings during conference, it was pretty lit! 

Before conference they sent out three questions for us to prepare 2 minutes talks about for conference. Well, I only did two out of the three...forgot to prepare the third. Then, i made the mistake of telling the APs that. They were drawing names at random for each question. When it got to the third one he chose the paper, opened it, looked straight and me with a twinkle in his eye and said “Elder McKee." He said he actually chose me but I don't believe him! I was able to give a short talk about it but it definitely would have been better if I had prepared! 

We had interviews with président right after ZC and i had a great interview, he told me I'm going to be leaving cause I've done 6 months here already! (I didnt believe him) then told me some things he'd like for me to do before transfers so gonna have a busy couple weeks! Should be good, definitely sad to be leaving here, but excited for a new sector! 

Also had stake conference and that was lit! Ended up giving out 20 BOMs! Our branch president brought 10 friends so we gave each of them a book then the stake president had invited 10 people and asked for help giving books to them! They were Voodoo Kings and Queens, they were decked out in traditional attire and it was so lit, they looked so cool, they slightly bowed at us as they walked by. I wish i got a pic of them! 

For my spiritual thought this week i wanna share random quotes from devotionals I've been watching! 

- Be good and GO! 
- Be a little but better today than yesterday, and alittle bit better tomorrow than today.
- Even though it's the same…it's never the SAME.
- Sometimes our feet have to get wet to part the sea. 
- Just be courageous. 
- No matter where you serve give it your all! 
- dont compare your mission with those in ther past, or those in the future. Those aren't yours, this is yours. 
- nothing happens yill you say hi and introduce yourself
- DONT. WASTE. TIME.
- Dont get too discouraged, look at the missionaries in the scriptures...you've got it easy 
- reach down, pull up your socks and get to work!

These are my favorite quotes from the missionary devotionals I watched this week

Love you all, see you later! 
Love,
ELDER MCKEE

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...

Am I getting Cat Called?

Hey yall!! One full week down in the field!! It's been such a fever dream I don't even know where to begin. I am loving it here, sure I'll love it even more when I know French, I'm improving every day tho so I'm getting better!  First off! We have 3 people on date for baptism! 1 this week and 2 next week and I think tomorrow we are inviting another dude to be baptized, we have only taught him once but he has been coming to church with his friend for months, has read the BOM, loves the church and believes it all, so we just got to help him understand some questions he has a little more and he will be ready! His friend, Bola, has also been such a big help, he comes with us to lessons and really helps this guy feel comfortable. Bola has such a strong testimony about the church, when he shares it with you (even in French) you can feel the spirit so strong.  Anyways, let's talk about this title shall we? So, I've been cat called every time we leave the house. It...

A Whole New World

 I feel like I'm in the movie scene when Aladdin and Jasmine are riding the magic carpet seeing a whole new world with this transfer! My magic carpet is my trusty good ol' Chevrolegs, Elder Miller is my Jasmine, and I am Aladdin singing for all the world...but instead of seeing the world we are walking down dirt roads getting "cat called" and my magic carpet is not zooming us anywhere, Elder Miller...well he's not a girl so he can't be Jasmine, and instead of singing I'm actually just dripping with sweat...ANYWAYS LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK!  🚭IMPORTANT🚭 If you aren't in my immediate family, you may have notcied my google photos album is missing...it is actually against the rules in this mission to have anyone in it that's not family in the album (past missionaries were stupid...) but I was just gonna ignore that rule cause i thought it was dumb...but in my interview with president the thought "obedience brings blessing...EXACT obedience...
