First of all, yes I know how to properly spell "steak". Liberia has
not changed me that much. But there is huge news from Liberia! They
just started their first Stake again!
For those of you that don't know the significance of a stake, it
basically just means that the church is growing and that's a good thing.
The church is in branches and districts when it first starts somewhere,
and then turns into wards and stakes once
it grows and gets more established, which is the case here. On Sunday
we had the big conference and the Area Seventy came and it was super
great. The Elder's Quorum President in my branch was made to be the
District President which is cool.
The church is really growing in Liberia and it makes me so happy to
see such great progression here after all the hardship that these
people have gone through. The truly faithful and devoted members really
deserve this and will continue to be blessed as
they continue the work and keep the commandments.
For me this week was interesting. It's always a little different to
adjust once you receive a new companion but I'm doing my best.
Everything good will come with time and patience and love and by being
obedient. We saw a lot of people this week though
which made me happy. I feel that getting a new companion or area always
gives you strength to work hard again so that's what I look forward to
when there is a change.
Thanksgiving was pretty normal here because apparently they
have their own thanksgiving and it was like the first week of November. I
almost forgot but then I remembered and made sure to get some nice food
going.
We ordered some food from a place that is in town and they
delivered it for free! Basically a chicken place but it's good food. I
had some mac n cheese too so I made that.
The good part about not seeing things about Thanksgiving is that it didn't make me think of home as much!
Everything here is great and small small my companion and I will
work together and get everything figured out in our area. We're trying
our best so that's all we can do right? Okay-o.
Much love to you all!
Elder Bush
