Rain - robberies - and more rain

~OOPS!! Sorry this one was a week late!! Sometimes my brain doesn't work :)

hey everyone,
liberia is doing fine this week. i am doing good and havent lost much more wieght. i am trying to work out every morning in an effort to put some back on. so we will see what happens.
sorry i didnt kill any snakes this week. just one more huge spider outside our door. speaking of doors. we have to make sure ours is locked with 3 or 4 locks and dead bolts now. the elders in duala were robbed on friday. the people that live around them were paid off and they let a group come and rob them. they bent the bars on elder seawrights window and shoved a kid inside. then the kid grabbed 3 cameras and all the elders money and a few cd players and stuff then snuck out. all during broad daylight while everyone was out working. so now we have to be extra careful. our apartment is better and we have a guard plus other people living around is in the same complex. they like us and know we give them extra food and stuff so they wouldnt let anything happen. also our 3 guard dogs make a lot of noise.
the church is slowly starting to change here and we are trying to make things like they should.
elder mogotsi goes home on sep 14th. i will then get a new companion. he is a great elder and has taught me a lot. it is sad to see him go but his 2 years are up and it is someone elses turn.
elder golden of the seventy will be coming to visit us next week. so we have to go home and clean our apartment today. it should be a great experience to recieve instruction from him.
i am doing good and the work is slowly moving forward. we have 5 people lined up to be baptised on saturday so if all goes to plan we should have plenty of work to do with finding more able people to teach. we try to find worthy people and it is hard here with the law of chastity problem. no worries, the lord is preparing someone and we just have to find them.
i hope all is well and i love hearing from everyone.
love
elder lamb
