Elder Joshua Mckee

Hi ya'll, what's up I got transferred again last week, so in the past 3 transfers I've had 3 areas. Which is fine, I just like getting to know people and it's hard when I move a lot. President says I'm leaving the areas better than they were when I got there, so I guess that's good.  My new companion is Elder Magalhães, he's from Fortaleza, Ceará, here in Brazil and it's so nice to have a Brazilian comp finally. I can already feel my english getting worse! This week we had a really good lesson with a lady named Andreia and we got to mark a baptism date for her! She will be baptized between the two sessions of General Conference on Saturday! She is super good about remembering the stuff we talk about and even bore testimony about the Priesthood last time we talked. She told us we need to organize everything faster so she can invite her family to come see the baptism. We also have a baptism marked for Camilla, who is just waiting on marriage to be baptized...

We had a really good lesson with an older couple named Marcos and Vera and we marked a date to organize the baptism of them! It was really spiritual and they have been coming to church so its been really good to get to help them! They will hopefully be baptized on the 25th of this month. We had a baptism of a lady named Niurka, we have been teaching her for a month and she's been to church every week since our first lesson! Her daughter is preparing as well but she didn't want to wait to be baptized with her daughter. We haven't marked the baptism o...

Hello my dear friends and family! This week was awesome! We had a devotional with our mission and the Curitiba mission and President Lund, the general president of the young men's, spoke. It was awesome! He is a really good guy and we got pictures with him after. He spoke a lot about our divine heritage and how we are called to the work to prepare the world for the coming of Christ. It was powerful. We also had MLC this week which was good because all the leadership was there and we talked about having fun while still working hard and using games to teach... which is kinda my speciality. We also talked a lot about working with families and including members. This work is to save families so we are trying to find more families to teach. We also had stake conference this week which was great! We got our friends Niurka and her daughter, Daniela there and ended up marking a baptismal date for them for the 11th! Niuraka wanted to mark that date because it gives us time to teach her husb...
