Extended!!!

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! Her marriage is marked for the 8th and she will baptize in the 9th! Her family is super, super cool and they are even helping us teach Andreia. 

I officially extended my mission to January! A lot of you might not understand why, so let me explain. As a missionary I have the chance to unite families for all of eternity. My pure focus is the gathering of Israel and bringing souls unto Christ. It is the most important thing happening on this earth and it is the purpose of our mortal existence. I'm honored to have the privilege to help bring people to the knowledge of our Savior, and help them unite their families forever. I extended because the longer I can do this the more people I can help. I know the church is true and I know that God loves us
Love, Elder McKee

Verticles for results

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...
