it is hot when the sun is beating down, but since it is the rainy season it has been relatively cooler.
president squires is in liberia for zone conference, aka stake conference. we get to have zone meeting tomorrow and we get to meet with the president for interviews.
i get to eat all kinds of wierd things for our free meals. they always have a sauce type thing on top of rice and that is all i want to know. i get to cook every 4 days and i am learing the 2 recipes we have. spagetti and stew. we only cook for break fast so it is just like on the movie elf when they have spagetti all the time. i am never going to eat spagetti or rice ever again when i get home. i am taking plenty of pictures and i will try and get one to you later.
tell bec that from now on i will cut my own hair. i found some hairclippers in the apartment that were broken so i took them apart and hot wired them and cut my hair very nicely.
elder rogers companion is the one that i replaced in gardnersville. he got the chicken pox from my companion lol. elder rogers is a cool guy and elder seawright knows the kesters and weston. he is a very funny guy and it is nice to talk with someone who knows the same things as i do. like the word hick.
the petersons left today :(. i gave them a letter for you and they have a bunch of videos with the people in liberia and me so i hope you go see them and get my letter and watch the video. i told them to give you a big hug for me.
we teach the same people most of the time and most people have the door wide open and they have no windows. just cinderblocks that have parts cut out to let air in. the people are very nice and almost all of them believe in God or are of a different church. the hardest thing we have to worry about is the law of chastity. there is a reason Aids is big here. another thing is you have to tell them church is at 8 so they will be there by 9 maybe. its kind of like waiting for Jenny lol.
The work is moving on great and we could have hundreds of baptisms but we are focusing on the self relient people who wont just come to the church for money. there are not very many people with money here so we just try our best and look for people to teach.
my companion and i get along great. the other 2 elders in our apartment are very cool and we are all addicted to monopoly. we get along great and joke around all the time.
all is well here in liberia and i am trying to get more pics lol.
love
elder lamb
