Hello From Bo

Awesome, Well here is another week! The week was good. It went a little slow but we hung in there. It was one of those weeks where Satan decided to turn up the flame a bit with our investigators but they are all still doing very good. Everyone in the Branch is really excited about the split. There wasn't an empty seat in the chapel this Sunday it was really awesome to see. The Coker family is still doing very well. Unfortunately they didn't come to church. One of the daughters named Rugiatu has a little daughter of her own named Precious and apparently the little daughter precious pulled a pot of hot water on top of her self and burned herself pretty bad Sunday morning. So that's why they didn't come to church. My companion and I will be going there this evening for Family Home Evening and we will be watching the Restoration Movie. Sylvia (the mom) Said that she would go buy fuel for there generator because she really wants to see it so it should be really good. So this week it was Elder Boye-doe's one year mark so we went to this really nice restaurant called Sabs. While we were there this old man from England came in with another man and they sat close to us and they were talking about Mormon missionaries. He was saying all of these crazy things about us. He said They believe that only so many people will make it to Heaven so i don't know why they are out trying to find more people to be Mormons. He said you have your traditional Mormons who marry a lot of wives and they don't believe in using anything electronic. He were laughing pretty hard. After we payed I walked towards him and was going to strike a conversation with him but he immediately looked down at the ground so I just kept walking. I didn't want to argue or anything obviously but i would have loved to correct some of the crazy ideas he had. This same guy came up to Elder Grabau (one of the assistants to the President) and told him I bet you think its hot here in Africa but its not as hot as where your going! Then he said oh wait you don't believe in Hell that's what ol Joey says anyway isn't it? And he like flicked elder Grabaus tag ha ha he is really quite the guy. This member in the branch was telling me that one time that guy gave him a ride from one of the villages and when he found out that the guy was a member of latta days then he said oh those people are demon people ha ha. Well this is the week that we will be going to Freetown and having our Zone Conference with Elder Dickson. I found out I actually don't have to instruct in front of him but when I instruct it will just be in front of the Bo Zone so that's not so bad. I love you thank you all for the love and support!
