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&

That's probably the thing I've said most this past 4 days and it translates to "I am Tolman's baby” (Tolman is my trainer, btw)  (Also with mission rules i can't use messenger so if you want to talk email me! @  andrew.mckee@missionary.org !)   (Also i can't be in others google photo albums, so sorry if I left yours! It’s a weird rule, but i gotta follow it. It wasn't anything personal! Add pics to your emails, I can see those!) I'M IN THE FEILD EVERYONE! and let me tell ya it's been a fever dream, I have no idea what's happening and none of it feels real. I'm going to start from last Wednesday morning and go till right now and say briefly what happened. Wednesday morning we said goodbye to everyone and left the MTC to the Ghana airport, got on a 40 minute flight to Togo, then a 2 hour layover, then a 25 min flight to Benin! It was the shortest flight ever, it legit went like this: take off, pilot announced "we are at cruising altitude&
