Runnin' Through the 6

Wasssssuuupppp? Big news this week. I don't know how much time I have today so I'll get to the point. We had a transfer this week and that's where missionaries can be assigned to different areas in the mission. This transfer was huge because like half the mission got changed so it's pretty nuts. I got transferred as well. I'm now in an area called Caldwell which is really really far from where my first area was. Of course this really has no significance to you, but it has a lot to me. It's strange because I was in my first area for so long it feels like I'm leaving home again. But I'm really excited.

I got a new companion! He is Samoan opposed to my last companion who was Tongan. Basically everyone who talks to me about him kind of just tells me that it's going to be a challenge and I'll need to be patient. Apparently he's just a little bit immature but I'm sure that we will work well together and figure things out. I guess President must trust me... He's only been out for three months, but his previous companion was really good so I think I'll be alright. 

Now besides that, my mom sent me a list from another missionary when I first left on my mission about 20 things about Liberia. She said when I was 6 months in I should make my own. So that's what I decided to do!

So here it is:

1. If you aren't sweating, they didn't put enough pepper (pepe) in. 

2. Generators are the greatest things in the world.

3. African germs are slow

4. African ants are fast.

5. If you don't swallow your fufu, you don't belong in Liberia.

6. Don't ever assume it will not rain.

7. If you ever thought Utah drivers were bad, come to Liberia. 

8. If you are fat you are enjoying.

9. Liberians are more afraid of rain than they are of bullets.

10. Liberians love rumors.

11. After 6 months in Liberia, I have not gone one day without rice.

12. Every one wants to go to America.

13. If you come to Liberia, you will need to learn how to speak English again. 

14. If you ever hear American music, there's a 95% chance it is Chris Brown.

15. I got my church.

16. Trash

17. Liberians eat more rice than Asians do, I'm sure of it.

18. While crossing a one way street, make sure you look both ways.

19. Enjoy your mission.

20. There have never been people more ready for the gospel than these people. 

That's all I got for now! Love you all!
