Hello y'all, good week. Let me tell ya about it! 

So, this last week was transfers. On Tuesday and Wednesday we went and taught some of our baptismal candidates and said goodbye to friends and members! Good times! 

Thursday was travel day! We went to the stake center in Cotonou in the morning and I loaded up on the bus to Togo and was able to sit by the trainees coming it, the two Americans seems a little scared, but were excited to get it going and learn a lot of stuff. I was able to drop some knowledge and advice for them to use 😏 I'm such a wise old missionary now! I was able to meet my new comp, Elder Wensel. He just got out of training but he's a dawg, he's a hard worker and we gonna blow this sector up! 

Note: Kpalime apartment is invested with mice, mainly the couches so sitting on them you can hear them squeaking and running around. We have been using the small lacrosse sticks to hunt them down by shaking the couches and when they come out going d-midi slash style and kill them… it's been a fun time! 

Friday-Saturday were good work days, figuring out the area and visiting friends and members. It was a good few days! This area has mountains and any time I see them I get a little shot of dopamine in my brain and it makes me so happy to see mountains, even of they are hills in Utah...

Sunday was great! I gave a short talk and felt the spirit truely guide me in what to say and talk about. After a few members told me that the talk really helped them! I also have a goal to learn EVERY person's name, in all my old areas I new most members and kind of their names but here because its a smaller branch I decided to learn everyone's name and truely be their friend. A basic thing all missionaries should do i know, but it's something i gotta work on! 

Today for p-day i spent a good part of it beating at the dirt...i remade my garden here and it was alittle harder than in Porto-Novo. There are more rocks here so that was a little more difficult. I think Elder Wensel thinks I'm crazy, but he'll see in a few weeks when corn and tomatoes are sprouting! 

Spiritual thought: 
Pray and have faith, literally everything starts when we pray and have faith. Can't do anything or grow spiritually without those two bases! 

That's it for this week y'all! I hope you have a great week! 

Love
ELDER MCKEE

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...

Yo yo whats up everyone! Hope you are all had a fire week! Mine was pretty dang good! Togo is a wonderful country with so many tourist attractions, i invite you all to come and see this country for your self (not you mom, you cant come here while I'm here) This week we had Z.C. and it was awesome! Super spiritual, we learned about teaching heart to heart and truly connecting with everyone we talk too, whether teaching or getting food! I loved zone conference, plus after we got so delicious burgers for lunch. Zone conference has delicious food after, it is a nice little break from rice and noodles I usually have...i did find myself missing that rice and noodles tho... The next day after ZC I had an exchange with the zone leaders and it was a great exchange! Elder Wilden is a hard working man and I learned so much from him, he is from small town, Gunnison Utah, and turns out we hunted the same mountains, so of course we spent alot of time talking about that. I was trying to get him t...

Andy's call came on Tuesday! Because of lacrosse every evening and wanting his brothers and sisters, and all his friends over, he wanted until Sunday.  It's been sitting on our mantle in an envelope.  When Andy was 8, and in cub scouts, he did a time capsule to open with he got his mission call.  He opened it at dinner, and it was so fun to look thru  all the pictures he put in there, and the other treasures that 8 year old Andy thought were important.
