Butterscotch Cookies

Hello everyone! We have 2 weeks to catch up on so woot woot!


My wonderful companions and I had the amazing experience to go do baptisms for the dead in the Seattle temple and I didn't realize how much I missed the temple until we were there. But, as i was about to get in the font and do the baptism, I got a bloody nose! And when the temple worker come over to ask if I was alright I quoted Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." He didn't think it was as funny as I did, but it got all cleaned up and I still got to baptize and be baptized. 

We did a service this last week and it was a thing called "Project Homeless Connect" and we made kits for homeless people. They had stuff like socks and hygiene stuff, and some food and information to help them get back on their feet and it was so fun! We got to meet so many cool people and they even gave me a shirt! Unfortunately, I got so tied up in the fun I forgot to take pictures :(

I go to Brazil on Thursday so I've been bothering President about letting me go to the temple again before I leave. He told me that I could go with the departing missionaries tomorrow (Tuesday) and if there is an open slot I could go in,  and if not I would just do studies on the temple grounds, so fingers crossed I get to go! 

I love you all and for a quick spiritual thought I want to invite you all to read Alma 32 and think about how it applies to your life! Something that's really cool as a Representative of Jesus Christ is that I can promise blessings and they will come true.  I know, and can promise, that as you read the scriptures and prayerfully reflect on your own life, the spirit will speak to you and help you get back on your feet, and help make you more joyful than you ever imagined you could be. GOD IS IN THE DETAILS, so look for him.

Love, Elder McKee

June 28, 2021 Hey everyone! This won't be a super long email because I'm semi locked down and we don't get to do much that's worth writing about. One thing that did happen this week was that as we were walking down the little alley way to our front door, I was throwing the keys and they got stuck on a horizontal pillar that connects the two walls. We couldn't get into the house because the door was locked and we couldn't leave because the gate at the front of the alley already re locked! So, I took my shoes and socks off and spidermanned my way up there by pushing on both walls (kinda like in Emperors New Groove) and climbed up to get the keys. When I came back down my companion said something about his freaking crazy American comp, but it was kinda funny! I did, however, shred my hands because the stucco was so rough. Oh well. I've had a LOT of time to study this week and I want to testify to everyone about the eternal truths in the Book of Mormon. What rea...
