Well this week is going to be a big milestone for me as I will be turning one year old on mission. Holy Goodness that went by so fast. I still feel like a new missionary and now I've been asked to train. That is crazy. If I look at how much I've learned then it seems like an eternity of differences from the person I was when I left. I feel like the lord is molding me into something. You know, the refiners fire. I just don't know what because this mission is so unique.
My new companions name is Elder Kargbo. He is from Sierra Leone. Funny thing is that he is from the Congo Cross branch, which was the first branch i served in. I didn't know him when I was there because he was very busy with work. But since then he has worked out a couple of things and is now serving with me. He is very humble and we are getting along just fine. Its wierd to teach someone the things that seem so natural to me. It makes me feel like I've come a long way.
Time now is really starting to catch some speed. Ever since I've come to Liberia time has flown by for me. Once again this week has gone by very very fast. We had District Conference yesterday where all the branches in Monrovia District (Paynesville, Gardnersville, Congo Town, and Sikor branches) all met at the Sinkor Chapel. We had about 550 people attend. I think the President of Liberia was supposed to come but because we couldn't allow her time to speak she declined to come. Crazy eh.
The conference was good and the work is going great. I hope you are enjoying the pictures that Sister Wire sent. I gave her my camera last week and she put all of my pictures on her computer. I'm pretty sure that its from the very beginning. Sorry I'm not there to tell you about them. Go Magic. I love you all and have a great week.
