I have great news for this week. Not really this past week but for the coming week I'm so excited about.
This gone week we had some interesting days once again. I got sick a
little bit this week but I'm better and I'm feeling alright now. I
think part of it could have some from lack of sleep honestly. Not too
much sleep for the boy the past 6 months but all of that will change
now! We struggled a little bit this week to have lessons, well
relatively I guess. I don't know how many lessons other missionaries
teach in different missions but we only had 24 this week and that's a
pretty bad week for me.
Anyways, we had a little conference broadcast thing on Sunday for
the West Africa Region and there were some really good speakers. Elder
Stevenson was one of the ones who spoke because he just came here not
too long ago. They talked a lot about how life can be really hard but
you need to continue to push forward and God will bless you. A lot of
people here have a tough life and I think they saw that when they came
here. One of the other speakers that spoke before the broadcast started
was President Yanforth. He is the District President here and he spoke
about the church first starting here. He has seen a lot of things here
as far as the church is concerned. He was there from the very start and
probably has so many cool stories. He also mentioned an old man who was
one of the first members who is in our area that we recently helped to
reactivate. He said that the church in Liberia now has somewhere around
9,000 members! It's really growing here and missionary work is moving.
I got my new companion today and he's super cool. His name is Elder
Obasohan and he is from Nigeria but he's not like a lot of the other
Nigerians. The best news really is that he doesn't snore! I tell God
thank you. I'm really looking forward to working with him and I think
things will improve a lot. I've been having a hard time small.
In other news it's beginning to get really hot here while it's
getting really cold at home! So all of you guys are starting to bundle
up in layers and I'm beginning to sweat from every pore again. I
actually kind of enjoy the heat to be honest. You just tend to get used
to sweating every minute of the day.
This transfer we should be having some baptisms that I'm really
excited about. One family is getting married and will shortly after be
baptized, and a lot of others that we've been talking to and working
with for a while will finally enter the waters of baptism after some
great conversion processes. I love the work I am doing and I feel that
this new companion will help me to gain back some of my strength and
motivation because I need it!
Love you all!
All the best,
Elder Bush
