Crazy Busy Week!
Wow.. I really don't even know where to start with this week. So i mentioned last week how sometimes people here can have crazy believes and sometimes these believes can invite some kind of evil into there homes. I don't really know how to explain it but a long story short I have participated in giving 3 p.hood blessings to children to get rid of these kind of spirits. Really really crazy experiences. Then right after I left from doing that My companion and I were walking down the street with the branch president of our branch. And this man came up to me and he said are you lds? Which was really weird because people don't call us lds or mormons here. They say latta days. So i said.. Yes and he so oh and then he greeted my companion then said well my name is Peter. And I was like OH! Your Peter you know the Cables and he said yes yes. Anyways it was really cool. So come to find out not only does he live in freetown but he lives in wellington like 2 streets away from me! So he is supposed to attend my Branch. So we called him that night and went and saw him the next day. I was able to film a little message from him to the cables on that sd card before i gave it to the squires. Anyways so I talked to him about how we can get his records transferred over from england and stuff. He said he would come to church yesterday but he never came I called him and he said his children had a program or something. So we are going to be taking some members with us this week and go visit him and just review the lessons and encourage him. He seems awesome. He is so smart! And he drives the cleanest car in town so i really like him haha. anyways pretty cool im excited to get to know him better and help him get involved in the church here. Our branch really needs someone like him. Also we had Zone Conference on thursday and it was the last time i was going to see the squires before they were going home. YA THAT SUCKED! Sis squires and I avoided eachother towards the end because we didn't want to say bye. Then I walked up to her and she just said alright and started crying haha. I couldn't even give her a hug because of mission rules but she said she will give you all big hugs when she sees you... anyways pres Roggia comes on Thursday but I wont meet him till the next tuesday. We will be having another zone conference with him so that will be cool. i dk im just kind of going with the flow of things. This mission is changing like crazy since the time i came. We have recently received two new couples in Liberia, 2 new couples here in freetown. There will be a new mission pres and then the one couple that has been here for a while will be leaving in august so things are going to start getting very different. They all bring in there own ideas and everything but its good. Maybe it will make the time go fast! haha. No time seems like its going just right. My companion and I planned yesterday for the month of july and we planned a baptism on the 10th and one on the 31st. Im excited about that. I think that's about it. The work is going well. Other then I have been kinda sick this week and its boggin me down but i just keep pushing. thanks for all the love and support! More letters would be so sweet! If you have never written me a letter I want a letter from you! I dont care who you are haha. But probably don't expect one back but i will try! anyways love you all.
