Well I have been out on my mission
for one month now so only 23 more, yeah that seems like a short time! But
really the way I look at it I only have 23 months more that I GET to be in
Africa.
This last week has been fun but it
doesn’t even seem like it’s been a week, the time really flies. Me and my
companion Elder Losee sleep outside still because the nights are getting cooler.
But this proves to be a problem because it likes to rain this time of year so
this week I had to sleep with my raincoat on and honestly it was a great night
sleep......NOT. The work here is great everyone wants to talk with the white
guys and everyone is nice.
We had more water problems this week
with people cutting our pipes. This will be the second week in a row that we
haven't gotten water in our tank and its starting to get low. It’s hard not to
get angry at the people especially when you fix the pipe and they just go down
like four feet and cut it again with you just standing there. So we gave up and
went back to study and we decided that we would have water shipped in for us.
I went on my first exchange this
week with another elder in my apartment who has only been out for like 3 months
and he is shy with people so basically had to be the senior companion which to
be honest I was completely fine with. I have already learned Krio so I was able
to communicate well. You guys will think I talk all weird but that's ok. We
have three baptisms next week and one will be a full convert from
me. Me and my companion get along great I will be taking over next week
and doing everything so basically I’ll be senior companion.
But for me I’m doing great, still
haven't gotten sick (knock on wood!!!). The food here is great, I LOVE kana
which is ground nuts rice flour and sugar. It comes in a little triangle, man
they are like the inside of a peanut butter cup. Last night I made garlic bread
because I found garlic in the market and oh man it was good! To drink I buy
pop drink which is basically like really good cool aid. I miss driving the most
out of the things I used to do, I like being in control of the vehicle!
We went into town and we bought two
of them big blue barrels and then we realized we had to get them home so we
tossed them on the back of a flatbed truck like a big truck!!! Then we had
to run to hop on the back it’s what's called a free ride. But, yeah that's
my week in a nut shell. I would send picks but if I put this card in the
computer it will get viruses big time if not wipe out the memory. Stay
classy.....
The African Missionary,
