Elder Andrew McKee

Took  some  temple pictures  with Andy's  best friends.. Parker Cowley,  Anson Smith,  and  Cooper Durkavich These guys have been  best friends  since  10th grade, and  played  Lacrosse together.    Parker: Equador Anson: Arizona Cooper: El Salvador Andy: Benin,  West Africa And  Aleia  and Elexa  Roundy (Andy's cousins) happen to be  at  the temple this day  so they jumped in on a picture.  

Andy took 10 friends to Lake Powell for a graduation trip, and there are 5 of them who have mission calls.  We took some mission flag pictures and they turned out fun.  We also sent a couple into Missionariesworldwide on Instagram.  

Some of the kids from high school got together to take pictures with their mission flags.   This isn't even half of those who are going, but it was fun to get together. Cousins Elexa and Aleia Roundy are on the ends of the first picture.  

Through a friend of a friend of a friend we heard about a young man who served in Benin.  Mom got his number and asked if he would come and tell us all about his mission and answer some questions.  We also learned about 2 others who are called to Benin and invited them over.   It was fun to meet them and to hear about Benin.  The RM answered some questions,  but was a little...vague...for example we asked him if he saw any wild animals like giraffes, elephants, etc.  He said, " oh  yeah, we saw a lot of goats and cats.  Some were wild and some weren't."  :)  It was great to meet the other two who will be over there. Future Elders McClure, McKee, and Grass.
