Elder Joshua Mckee

Hey y'all! I'm going to Brazil on Thursday! (Hopefully) but it's a crazy story. So, a couple weeks ago I got a call from President Metts that I'm going on May 6 and I was super excited! But, then this last Saturday, he called again and said that I couldn't go until I was fully vaccinated so i had to track down a shot. Yesterday we scheduled the Johnson and Johnson shot (so it was one and done) and I got it today! (It actually wrecked me and all of my joints hurt but, woo Brazil) So, now I'm vaccinated and hopefully they still have the same flight open on Thursday so I can go! This week was all over the place as for whether I was staying or going so I got as many pictures with people we see as I could so I have lots this week!  Spiritual thought: this week I've been thinking about how perfect the Plan is. The fact that God loves each and every one of us enough to let us suffer and figure things out on our own is so amazing! D&C 122:7 says  "And if th...

Hello everyone! I have horrible time management so i have T-4 minutes to write this email! This week was good! We are busy finding people and we found a kid this week who said "so yall are mormons? (no but also yes) Do you know Maverick Brady?" and we were like “Yes, we do we are going over to his house for dinner tonight actually! Have you ever wondered why he went all the way to Mexico to talk about a book?" And he said he had wondered that.  So, we are gonna teach him. YAY The other exciting thing that happened this week is that President called me and my visa for Brazil came thru.  I am going to Brazil on May 6.  woohoo. I only have one picture worth sending this week, so please enjoy. Love you all! Elder McKee Josh calling to tell us he is going to Brazil.  Mixed feelings.  He loves Washington and the people he is meeting.  He feels like there is a lot of work to be done and he is abandoning it.  On the other hand he is excited to go to Brazil. ...

This week was pretty busy, and I remembered to actually take some pictures so, woohoo! We had zone conference so we got to see all the missionaries in the south half of the mission and have some trainings and basically just have a day of spiritual upliftings. That was so good.  We had exchanges so I was with Elder Laurence and Elder Van Patten and it was super, super fun! I introduced them to Bruce who is really funny to talk to and he has a really interesting personality, but he is so talented with restoring antiques so his house is full of old stuff, and lots of plants as well. We also found a Book of Mormon in someone's garden when we were knocking and it looked like it had been there for a while.  We tried to trade him for a new one, but nobody was home. We did service for a lady a ward over and she had a couple really cute dogs. I took pictures with them and one dog tried to bite my name tag. But, she was really cute, so it's okay. Love you all,  Elder McKee Bruce Br...

Im still alive! Spiritual thought: The church is true and it is good Elder McKee

This week wasn't the most exciting, so this won't be very long. Our mission came out with a live event on Facebook for Easter on Sunday and it's so cool! It's made completely by missionaries and most of the people in it are missionaries so its way cool to watch. It's all about the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ and we've watched it 3 times (with investigators, not just by ourselves).  If you wanna watch it, its on the Facebook page 'Come unto Christ in North Tacoma' and i would recommend watching it! Also, it was conference weekend and that was cool. If you didn't watch it then go watch that as well, because Amos 3:7 says "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." so go listen to the prophets and listen to what God needs to say to you. i love you all.  Elder McKee The Bell Family had the missionaries over for dinner and gave them each an Easter Basket and grocery store gift...

Hello everyone! Sorry I missed last week... but now you get one that's twice as fun! The past couple weeks have been pretty hectic. but we got transfer calls and Elder Morata and I are together in the same ward for another transfer, so that's good news! Both of my housemates are leaving which is gonna be sad because I love them, but they're good missionaries so it makes sense that God needs them to reach more people.  This week we did a zone activity where we all spent an hour in each ward and everyone knocked different neighborhoods to find as many people as we could and it was fun! For every ward we switched companions and it was a pretty crazy time, but it was very spirit filled!  Elder Morata and I also had to make a facebook video and I had an idea I was really excited about for it, but Elder Morata also had an idea about it. The issue is that Elder Morata's idea made me be in front of the camera and I really don't like that video. But it's alright I guess....

 Josh sent a bunch of pictures this week, but no weekly email.   Elder Morata and Josh with a dog In their garage, which has a bunch of junk. Crawling thru a tunnel in a members house. Josh learned to lasso, and tied up this elder to the railing. Fattest cat ever seen. Another Elder power washing a driveway, and wrote Josh a message. Elder Jackson
