I only signed up for time, not eternity!

Hey yall! Crazy week here but that makes for better emails right?


First off, this week I taught a gay couple about eternal marriage and families, and they accepted it! They were really funny and our conversation went a little like this (his name was Max)

Max: OH you're American! Are you just here to find a Brazilian wife?
Me: No I -
Max: Are the girls in Brazil just not good enough for you??
(A couple minutes later)
Max: So, your church wouldn't accept me anyway because I'm married to this man right here.
Me: So, the girls in Brazil just aren't good enough for you?

It was really good though but, before we got on the bus, we explained about how we marry for all of eternity and our beliefs about eternal families and that's when his husband said “Darling, I love you, but I only signed up for time, not eternity!"

Other than that we were really busy this week trying to re contact with the interested people we met last week, but not a single one wanted to hear more. It was frustrating and tiring, but everyone has their agency.

We also got to set up Christmas this week, which is fine because they don't have Thanksgiving here so it's not even early! The last picture is my companion and me on Thanksgiving.  We got our ward mission leader and went out for dinner to celebrate.

Love you all, Elder McKee

Setting Apart

Josh’s Missionary Setting Apart Blessing                           January 5, 2021   Stake Presidency asked us, as a family, to give Josh advice as he starts his mission. Mom:   Personality that draws people in. You’ll do great wherever you go.  Don’t change who are.  Be the Missionary you were meant to be. Dad:   you are prepared!! But don’t feel too prepared.  Keep an open mind and be ready to Make Your Own Mission.  Each Path is your own.  The things that hit you in the heart are the things that make it hard.  YOU ARE READY!  You will have miracles. Jake:   God is no respecter of persons….All Gods promises are available to all.  D&C 4:4….You aren’t here to plant seeds, you are here to Harvest.  God accepts your efforts....
