Yo yo yo yovos!! This week was pretty chill so let me tell ya about it!  So, the first exchange of this week was with Elder Price from Utah, he's freaking lit. He is one of our zone leader. On said exchange I told him my goal is to stretch my French and speak as much as I can in lessons. So, this man, during every lesson would turn to me and tell me to explain some principle they don't understand. It was rough. I was struggling the first couple times, then Elder Price gave me some fire advice and this is how the convo went:  Me- man, I don't know why I'm struggling to say what I want, the French is I'm my head. I just can't get it out!  Him- bro, you're fighting it, just let it flow the best you can, the spirit will help them understand what they need too, and it will help you know what to say, so trust it. Stop fighting it! Me- okay master zone leader I took his advice to heart and it actually has helped so much. The rest of that day when he asked me to tal

Bonjour mon frères et sœurs! This past week was another amazing adventure here in Togo so lets get started shall we? Okay before hand I have an announcement:  I can not message on messager, I've gotten some emails saying people are messaging me, please if you want me to respond email me! I promise I don't hate you, I'm just following mission rules! Okay that’s all, lets get into this week 😁😁 My email is:  andrew.mckee@missionary.org   So, turns out Tolman is an absolute legend at the piano, so the primary president asked him to play in the program. So, this last week he has been practicing to get the songs down. That has been fun to hear them! We also went to the practice they had for it and it was fun to have a sneak peak of what Sunday was going to hold before anyone else! Also, I decided after I learn French he's gonna teach me how to play (mission president also asked me to learn). Had my first exchange and it was so fun, I was with Elder Smith for Friday and I le

Hey yall! Another week in Africa down and I loved every second of it!! So, let's go over some highlights of this week, shall we? First off: finally met some people that did Voodoo and it was pretty fun. They seemed like normal people but, when we asked them to come to church they started dancing chanting "we do Voodoo!" And something else i didn't understand (think it was évé) and we just turned around and walked away, pretty fun! Not what I was expecting from Voodoo people and to be honest they could have been lying so we would leave.  It worked tho!  Second: put two more friends on date for baptism!! One dude was being taught in Benin before moving here and our first time meeting him he said "I need to be baptized, I am ready" and so we came to with a plan on when to teach him the lessons and he's already coming to church so November 23rd here we come! He's so excited! Talking about baptisms! We got one this Saturday! We have been teaching this sis

Hey yall!! One full week down in the field!! It's been such a fever dream I don't even know where to begin. I am loving it here, sure I'll love it even more when I know French, I'm improving every day tho so I'm getting better!  First off! We have 3 people on date for baptism! 1 this week and 2 next week and I think tomorrow we are inviting another dude to be baptized, we have only taught him once but he has been coming to church with his friend for months, has read the BOM, loves the church and believes it all, so we just got to help him understand some questions he has a little more and he will be ready! His friend, Bola, has also been such a big help, he comes with us to lessons and really helps this guy feel comfortable. Bola has such a strong testimony about the church, when he shares it with you (even in French) you can feel the spirit so strong.  Anyways, let's talk about this title shall we? So, I've been cat called every time we leave the house. It&
