Hello

Hello everyone!

So about this water project. I guess that Pres Squires used to be involved in that before he was the mission president here he was here doing that water project. I see those wells everywhere around bo they have a big plaque on them that say donated by lds charities its pretty awesome. I guess there is one set of couple missionaries that run it now im not sure of what there name is. Everyone here knows about the well project though its really cool really puts a good name out for the church. Zone conference was really good! Sis squires bought hamburgers form a place called sabs its owned by this lebanize guy name sabash he is crazy but his food is pretty good but its really expensive. i think its about 20 thousand leones for one hamburger which is crazy! Its not quite as good as american hamburgers but they try. So we haven't had running water in about 3 weeks and today we hired an electrician to come figure out whats wrong with our pump. Earlier we had to get our well dug deeper and we expected that to fix the problem but then our pump stopped working and it turned out that our pipe going into the well was clogged which burned up the motor in the pump so its getting fixed right now and im pretty sure the electrician was drunk haha he was so funny. anyways thats what i have been doing all day today. thats why im so late emailing its about 8:30 at night here. its pitch black outside its going to be interesting trying to get home. I hope we can track down a couple hondas so we dont have to walk! My legs are getting strong though we do so much walking! So this wednesday I will be going on exchanges with Elder Borwah In his area (njaitown) He and I have gotten really close He is from Liberia he is really cool. He goes home at the end of this transfer with my companion. And then on friday I will be going on Exchanges with the zone leaders Elder Deagan will be coming with me in my area. Im pretty nervous about that i hope i dont get us lost somewhere haha. No I think I know my area good enough but i just dont know who we will go teach... Its going to be an interesting day. It will be good though. We are teaching these people that have been investigating the church for over a year but they were living together and werent married. but now they have performed the sierra leonen traditional wedding where the guy gives an offering to the girls family or something. anyways the church accepts it for baptism so we are excited about that and they are excited that they can start to progress again. so hopefully they will be getting baptized about march 20th. Not much else new here! Im so sorry i have not written anyone back yet i thought i would be so good at writing people back and i suck im sorry. i will try to start to get letters out. Thank you all for the support though you are all so awesome!
