So my little clock ticker thinger in the corner of the screen is telling me i have 27 min to write this email. People keep staring at me because im typing so fast haha im sure everything is going to be all messed up and your not even going to be able to read it but oh well. So! This week was so so crazy. We met the new pres wow he is hitting the ground running. He stood up and said so contrary to belief im not going to make you do push ups in zone conference. Haha i was the one that had that dream and i told sis squires about it so she must have ratted me out. When he said that my face went bright red and he pointed at me and just started laughing it was really funny. There was no time for even introducing himself his wife introduced them and he said that that was good enough and he went straight into this slide show presentation. This slide show presentation was made by the apostles. They are changing a lot of things with missionary work. Instead of working from transfer to transfer which is 6weeks we are going to now start working from quarter to quarter which is every 3 months i think. so we will only have 1 zone conference every quarter and things like that. transfers are still every 6 weeks because new elders will be coming but missionaries will be staying in areas longer and things i still don't really understand it. and they are changing what they are teaching in the mtcs so by may of next year the new elders that will be coming will be working under the new program but they want the missionaries in the field to begin doing it now. When i learn more about it i will write more. The new mission pres is actually going to come proselyting with us! its going to be so crazy! and a lot more responsibilities are going to be placed on trainers, district leaders, zone leaders and the assistants. I wont have to worry about that because i will most likely stay a jr companion my whole mission because im not very good at the work haha. Transfers are next week so we will find out on sunday. I really have no idea what will happen so im just not really thinking about it. So... a little about the work this week. I met with Peter and he brought out some more concerns. he said he had these concerns while he was living in the uk. he said that he knows the church is true and he bore a really good testimony and everything but that he doesnt see anything wrong with the church he is attending right now. and since he has moved back to sierra leone he has been put in this high position in his church or something. He said he doesnt see anything wrong with there doctrines or way of worship. but he says that one day he knows that god will direct him and that he will just attend latta days church only. he said for now he is gong to attend his church in the mornings and then ours in the afternoons because our church changed to the afternoon time now. He promised to come yesterday but he never came. But he said that elder sessions that baptized him in the uk emailed him and encouraged him! thank you so much elder sessions! I am really praying hard about what to do. So you want to hear a funny story.? well of coarse you do! so my companion and i go out and teach people in the morning on sundays now since our church starts at 1230 now. and so we decided to go to rokupa after the first appointment. Rokupa is at the far end of our area and we have a few investigators there so we thought ya good idea.. so we taught the first appointment which wasnt that far from rokupa then we decided to take a taxi to rokupa... i had a thought.. hmm... should we take a taxi on sunday...then i pushed it off and just got in the taxi. as we were in the taxi i was thinking hmm i never heard my companion tell the driver where we are going.. i thought oh well im sure my companion will stop him. so we just kept going and going and going and going and so then my companion turned to me and said have you seen gadafki mosk yet? (its the point where we know to tell the driver to stop) (dad if you look at my area on google earth you should see this big!!! mosk near the ocean its way cool) anyways so i said no i havent seen it. then i said wait arent we by the shell station? and then we both looked at each other and were like oh crap. we had gone through not only our area but through 2 other areas we were now in kissy. So! we hurried and jumped out and started walking back to rokupa and it started raining really hard and we had to walk triple the distance we would have walked if we didn't take a taxi.. so i said to my companion you know i was kind of wondering if we shouldn't take a taxi on sunday and he just laughed and said well i guess we have our answer don't we!! haha we got to church soaking wet and everyone was looking at us. and then we were supposed to pick up one of our investigators but we didn't have time so we sent this single girl that has a baby in our branch to go pick up the inv. and so she had me carry her purse to the church so i walked into sac meeting soaking wet holding this big gucci bag and everyone was laughing haha wow I'm a dork. Anyways i have ten minutes on my little clock ticker so i still have to write some to my family PEACE!
