Malaria strikes again!!

Hey Everyone,
Life is going pretty good for me. Except today I got sick again. But the medicine worked very quickly so it was taken care of quickly luckily. I am sitting in Freetown and we just had our zone leader’s council. It is always nice to learn from President Squires and the other elders and I gained many insights today. It is nice to learn and grow.
Well I finally finished the Book of Mormon. I am starting it again already. Haha!! It is wonderful and I learned many new things this last time. Hopefully I can be able to explain them in Krio so the people will understand. The funny thing is they understand English they are just stubborn and want you to learn Krio.
We also had the Bo district conference on Saturday and Sunday. For some strange reason I knew almost all the people there. It was funny as the elders watched because I greeted almost everyone by name. I hope that I have been an effective instrument in the hands of the Lord in the city of Bo. Or maybe I haven’t been that good and he is keeping me here to do more. Haha.
We learned more about the upcoming Bo temple trip. Every time I hear about it it just makes me all the more grateful. The saints of Bo have to get on a bus very early. The only time the bus will stop on the trip to Ghana is if it breaks down. Gets stuck. Or they have to pee. They travel day and night for 4 days just to reach Ghana. Then they stay only a few days because they can’t afford much room and board. They go to the temple for 2 or 3 days then get right back on the bus and get going again. 4 days of nonstop travel back to Bo. There are no hotels they stop at and no toilet they use. They sleep on the bus or the floor the whole time. To me it is a huge sacrifice and yet we have 8 people in our branch going this upcoming December. I am very happy for them and would encourage all of you who get this to go to the temple soon. Don’t take for advantage the easiness of the way. For most of us all it takes is the decision to make time to go. So do it and I know that it will be a great blessing in your life!! Let me know how it felt. Because I sure miss that beautiful place so very much.
Well not much else on the week to talk about. I am doing great now and feeling much better so don’t worry about that. I am staying strong and looking forward to our combined zone Christmas conference on the 10-13 of December. I think it will be a blast and our skit is already set up. Almost.
Thank you all and keep writing I love it.
Love
Elder Lamb
