Elder Andrew McKee

Hey y'all, another week here in Africa, another amazing week of adventures!  This one is gonna be short cause not much happened butttttt it was still fun!  First off on Tuesday mine and Elder Morrey's trainers had to go into the office to do phone audits, so they sent me and Elder Morrey out by ourselves for Tuesday and Thursday, it was so fun, luckily Morrey speaks good French so we were able to get around and stuff, but we had a rich dude chase us out of his court yard (door was open we thought it was ok...is with every other house), accidentally contacted a group of drunk Jehovah Witnesses ...interesting times haha.  Then Wednesday I was able to do an exchange with Elder Koffi from Ivory Coast who is a zone leader and that day was fun.  Extended like 3 or 4 baptismal invites, celebrated his birthday with degue, and got him a water gun... that was a mistake, so fun times!! Then, Saturday Barnabe and Nathalie got baptized! It was so awesome to watch them be baptized...

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...
