So yeah it's about a billion degrees right now in this country and I
almost die every day but then I don't. I have to drink so much water
and I still never drink enough. My life is actually really great I live
in Liberia.
So anyways, this week was pretty cool. We had so much progression
from a few people that we are teaching and it made me so excited. My
first week that I came here we had two people that we are teaching come
to church and this week we had 13 people that we are teaching come to
church. Sometimes the people here frustrate me, but most of the time
they are just so sweet and humble and willing to submit to the will of
the Lord. I just need to continually practice patience while speaking
and interacting with anyone who I meet. I love that I get the
opportunity to share the gospel with so many people each day, it gives
me hope that more people will be willing to accept the truth.
Apparently a rapper in Liberia died in a car accident because he
was going way too fast in his car. A bunch of people were really sad and
our Branch President even kind of mentioned it on Sunday and told
people that they need to slow down when they drive. I thought that was
kind of odd, but Liberians are like the worst drivers ever so hopefully
they do learn a little bit from that.
Besides that again, this week was pretty normal. We are expanding
the are that we are in and are teaching a few people that are a 30 LD
car ride away from the chapel. Even though that's only about 30 cents
it's still a pretty big sacrifice for these people and we had 3 people
come from that area this gone Sunday. All of them are super sweet.
Brother Gray, Brother Buster and Brother Ennis. They are all very
interested and willing to learn about the gospel and showed their faith
on Sunday by making their way to service.
We met with one woman this week who is really funny. We've taught
her a couple of times and after we teach we will usually buy something
from the little market that she has. This week when we tried to buy
however, she told us she doesn't like how we behave. She doesn't like
how we ask for things that cost money and then have the audacity to want
to pay for them. She didn't use those words obviously but she said that
we shouldn't pay anymore when we want something... Liberians are so
sweet. I probably won't get anything again though so she doesn't lose
money.
Well, that's about it for this week! We went to the beach again
today for a big activity and it was pretty fun! I love the beach and
really wish I was allowed to go swimming... But alas, my hands are tied.
I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week!
