It was a long day in the car driving back from Monrovia to Freetown. Hard to believe I was in Congo Town apartment early this morning. We left Monrovia at around 6 in the morning and arrived in Freetown at around 7 pm, with a 30 minute stop in Bo. Yesterday was amazing. It was the monrovia District Conference and I got to see the Congo Town branch. It was a great experience. My joy was . . . . I can't even use words to describe how great it was. I LOVE THAT BRANCH!!! Tender Mercy from the Lord. The rest of the week was great.

Tell Bishop Lang that I got his emial. I will be speaking on Elder Christofferson's talk in the last general conference. I know that Elder Lauti will be speaking on the 13th at 9 and Elder Yardley is the same day at 1 (but he lives just north of bear lake, that might be pushing it. I'll see if anyone else wants to make the run with me and then I'll make the decision). I don't know if it would be a good idea to have all my friends at the airport. My emotions right now are very very confused so I don't think I can make the best decision on this, but the Petersons and brother Seawright have confirmed that they will be coming. I don't know. I'll think about it this week and try and respond next week. My heart is being ripped in half, and I don't know what to think anymore.

I love you all and have a great week.
