It's Normal

Today my companion and I were walking on the road and one of the members in my former area in Caldwell was driving in his car and saw me and said, "Elder Bush! You still here?! You still in Liberia?!" Yes Brother Wulah... I'm still here.

That's okay though because right now I'm really happy and things are going well. I guess the only thing I could wish more for is maybe Goldfish. Besides that everything is wonderful. I eat a lot of rice, but since I became companions with Elder Silvis I also eat a lot of other stuff so it's not bad. I don't know if you guys ever eat plantain but I love plantain. It's so good I hope I can find it when I get home.

This week ws crazy busy once again! It's really great though I love it that way. It makes things a little stressful, but not too bad when you have a good companion who is willing to work hard with you. It also makes time go by so much faster! Every day just begins and then it ends and then it starts over again. We're about to start the fourth week of the 6 week transfer and I feel like it jsut started. 

One thign that has helped me a lot is that I don't keep track of the date anymore. That may sound strange or bad, but it helps me not to worry about how much time I have left. Each day we plan for the next day and write in our planner and on top you usually write the date. Well, I just write September now. And the date also used to be on my watch but the band on my watch also broke so I don't wear it and I never know the date. It's great! I do know that we're in September though and that it is going to end soon. Crazy stuff man. 

Well, I'm doing really well so don't worry about me. I gave away some white shirts and trousers that were in the apartment to some members on Sunday and that made me really happy. Some were mine, others were from some different missionaries. I use the same 4 white shirts and about 1 pair of trousers a week. Yeah... My hygiene isn't the best in the world. I use a lot of bleach don't worry. We use a big wide bucket to wash our clothes on Mondays. If it's sunny we hang them outside, but it has rained the past 20 out of 24 days in September, so we put them on a drying rack in the apartment. Looking forward to the dry season.

That's about it for this week! I love you all and miss you a lot. Probably not as much as I miss Costco or Walmart... But I miss you a lot rest assured :)

Sorry no pictures lately, I need to transfer them and I just keep forgetting.
