Thanks Larry for the jersey!! Too bad Cutler isn't a Bronco any more!!
(maybe not - he is playing awful so far this year)
Good thing people in Africa don't know that :)
It was JUST malaria and typhoid
Hey everyone,
Things are going pretty good I guess. Well there isn’t much to say about last week since I was sick and down most of the week. But please don’t worry I am doing much better now and working back at it. So everything is fine and I am already over it so everyone can just calm down. Apparently the word already got out - so calm down I am fine now. Oh mom you just need to chill out.
Well we were able to have our zone service project last week. We went to the hospital in Bo to sing to the patients and things. It was actually kind of depressing for me because I felt so bad when we went into the children’s ward. They were all so small and sick with so many ghetto tubes and beds and things. It was just kind of sad and I am very glad that I didn’t have to go there for my treatment ha-ha!! But we sang the best we could and it was very nice and everything was fine. The people were very surprised that we would even take the time to come and sing so it was nice for them. 2 elders in our zone refused to come because they believe if you go to the hospital that you will get sick for sure. So they refused to come because of that reason alone. They stayed home while the rest of us went and had a good time. It was an interesting situation.
Today we played soccer against the branch missionaries. We beat them but that’s not what counts. No one got hurt and everyone had a good time so it was a success.
Well I don’t have much to say and not many scriptures this week.
Hebrews 11;1, 3, 6, 40, 12;1-2, 9, 13;4,
James 1;2-3, 5, 12, 19-22, 2;9-10, 14, ,17, 4;7-8, 17, 5;8, 14-16, 20
D&C 101;1-5,
Well that’s about it for this week. I don’t know how all you people already found out that I was sick but its ok I guess. Well now looking at my emails you all prayed for my crazy foot fungus that is gone. But I guess I needed your prayers for my malaria and typhoid that I had all week. The medicine really knocked me out and I just sat and sweat on the mattress all week. But don’t worry all is well and don’t worry I have Sister Squires here for a good reason. She took very good care of me and I am well. So everyone can stop worrying.
Thank you all for your prayers and fasting. I appreciate it. Thank you and no worries I am well and fine. Maybe just 10 pounds lighter than last week. Haha!!
Love

Hey everyone,
Things are going good back out In the bush of Bo. The long ride on the bus from Freetown wasn’t to bad. As we were getting on a new manager of the bus helped us board and called us elders without a glance at the tag. So we were wondering a little bit. Then we put the missionary move on and she told us she had lived in Texas for a while and that she was even sealed in the temple. She just moved back out to Freetown a little while ago and attends church even. It was really funny actually. She even bought us rice for breakfast at the moyamba junction. That is in the middle of the trip kind of and you can look in the map maybe. It was nice and we got back in not to long.
The work out here is very nice and we just added a lot of people to our teaching pool so we have a ton of work to do now. It is pretty crazy. We met one couple named Phillip and Cordellia. We started teaching them the restoration and she asked what is the Book of Mormon? So we asked, “How do you know about the book?” She was reading the tract we left and saw the picture. Then she told us that she has a copy. We were very shocked and happy. She just had one in the house and didn’t know what it was. She never opened it or anything. So we explained it for them so they would understand. They are doing very well now and we are working on letting them come and visit the church and to leave their own for one Sunday. It should be very nice when they come.
Well not much else happening out here. My sister is now 12 years old and I feel ancient. Everything is more expensive due to the dollar rising in value or something like that. I don’t know really. But all is well and I am working hard as always.
Here are your scriptures for the last 2 weeks since I lost them last week and now found them again. Haha
1 Nephi 1:19-19, 2;3, 16, 3;5, 21, 4;6, 5;22, 6all, 7;14, 21, 8all
Ether 12:27 Moroni 8:25-26 2 Nephi 2:6-8 Alma 13;3
Ephesians 1:10, 17, 2:1-5,19-20, 3;3, 5, 4;1-6, 11-14, 22-32, 5all, 6all,
Philippians 2;10-12, 3;15, 20-21, 4;6-8, 11, 13
1st Timothy 2;9, 3;1-7, 13, 4;1-3, 8,14, 5;14, 6;9-12, 14
Hebrews 2;1-3, 18, 3;13, 4;2, 11-12
Well I think that should hold you over until next week. Thanks for the support and keep writing me letters I like those the most.
Love
