Guessed what I played today? Yep, I played a new sport, where we but the ball in a round hoop. I think you guys call it basketball. Wow, it was so much fun. I was still able to touch rim (but thats not much of an accomplishment because I'm pretty sure it was only 9 ft. the 6'5" Elder Moser was slamming them home). We then enjoyed some rice (my favorite) and chicken while we watched the movie about Emma Smith. That was our super p-day for this transfer.
As for that quote last week, I have no idea when he said it but that is one of our mission recitations and I have it all memorized. I love it so much. We have not had a zone conference since the end of august and the next one will be in October. My typical P-day. Get up, study, wash my clothes, go to a restaurant that doesn't sell rice, back by 7 (the curfew) and then District Meeting. Tuesday through Saturday we teach all day long. None of that knocking on doors business here. We teach teach teach. Sundays we go to church in the morning, and we teach until about 5 then we come back for our weekly planning. Every night we have to be back in the apartment by 7 (just a rule from our mission president for the missionaries in Liberia).
I've now been in Congo Town since the beginning of March. Transfers will be on the 30th of September but honestly I'm not expecting to go anywhere. To answer your questions about emailing or recieving news from home. I don't really care what happens back home but it is nice to hear about it. I enjoy reading about what all my other missionary friends are doing. When I first came on mission emailing was the highlight of my week. Now i struggle to think of what to say. But I appreciate all who email me and I do my best to reply back. I love you all and I hope you have a great week.
