Wow. So... 3 sisters are married. I am the lone child living the single life in Liberia. What a strange way to put it.
Anyways!
Congratulations to my beautiful sister on getting married! How crazy!
Almost as crazy as having 20 investigators come to church. What a
blessing--what a life.
Let me tell you an interesting
story. There is a man that we have been teaching and this week we found
out that he is not legally married to his partner. He wants to be
baptized and they have had the dowry and everything but not the
certificate from the government. We told him that he needed to get it in
order to be baptized. He said alright he would try and let us know how
it went. Sunday we asked his sisters who are both members where he was.
They told us that he had traveled to his county in Grand Gedeh so that
he could tell his mother that he is going to get married. Really I can't
think of a better excuse for a person to tell us that they did not come
to church. I couldn't believe that he would be that quick to act
because we just told him on Saturday and he left Sunday. We really are
praying that he will go through with everything.
In other
somehow disappointing news, one of the other Elders in the apartment
told us that he'll be going home because of some things that he needs to
take care of. Not only do I like him and am sad that he has to do this,
but it also puts my companion and I in an awkward position because it
means that his companion will join us and we will be 3 instead of 2
because the remaining missionary cannot be alone. We were already
feeling pressure because of how many people we were teaching and how big
our area is, and now we have to combine our areas... A little
unfortunate but I know that we can handle it.
This coming
week should be interesting but I look forward to the challenge and the
blessings that will come from our hard work! Hope all is well and don't
forget to send me some love every once in a while. Just because I've
been gone for 5 months doesn't mean I died :)
