What's up my people. Aye I speakin the real coloqua now-o. I tellin
you if I talk to you now now you would get me at alll. Just wait for
two years to come I will speak it good good!
It's so weird to be on mission and actually love to study. This week I
was going through Mosiah and read about Abinadi again. That man
absolutely destroyed everyone that he spoke to. He spoke with power and
authority and confounded people in their words. As I study I feel like I
want to do the same. I feel that the more that I know, the more I can
call upon the spirit to help me to bring people to a better
understanding and testimony of the scriptures, including the Book of
Mormon. I don't mean that I want to argue, but there is something really
powerful about being able to defend yourself and your beliefs with both
the Book of Mormon and the Bible. Sometimes I wonder if Pastors here
actually read the Bible because they don't understand it.
We had a great week and we taught a lot of people. We began to visit
some different people and had a bunch of people give us others to teach.
We received one woman who when we met with her had like 9 other people
(all women) sit down with us as well. They all listened and understood
and said they would come to church. Unfortunately it rained so I'm sure
that was their excuse. I love how Liberians are so ready and happy to
share the gospel. They want their friends to know and tell people they
should meet with the missionaries when they are saying false things
about the church. It makes getting referrals and new investigators so
much easier because usually we don't even have to ask.
One woman was near us as we were teaching a man named Emmanuel this week
who said she was interested and would come to church. To our surprise,
both her, her husband, and brother Emmanuel who had only come one time
were all to the church on Sunday! Not yet sure if they're legally
married but it was still wonderful to see. Also, the parents of these
children that we have been seeing also came to church on Sunday! One of
them had a concern because we don't "shake body" at our church, but
hopefully we can work that out.
Oh Liberia is sweet. On Saturday I think, we were about to go out and
all of the sudden HEAVY RAIN came. Chi, not small thing my man. It
rained all day pretty much but the rain around 10 am was extreme. To be
honest with you, I'm actually getting a little tired of the rain. I love
it, but to have to walk in it and carry my umbrella everywhere is
getting to be a pain. Plus, I get cold a lot even though it's like 80
degrees outside. I will die when I go home.
Everything here is very good. Our apartment is very nice and the people
are great. No wahala from me :) Hope all is well at home and everyone
appreciates the little things! I can never take constant power for
granted again... Oh America.
