Things are changing at home it sounds like. Its sweet hearing all of your stories!! So Curtis coming home is crazy. (Curtis is a young man from Elder Zaugg's home ward) I remember when He was leaving and we were going to youth conference the same day. Weird to think how fast time flies. I can relate to him with the whole African teaching and not being able to understand thing... Not easy! You have to live with them and be apart of their lives if you want to fully understand them. Now that I have been out 5 MONTHS this week, I can understand them Most all of the time. Until they get mad and start yelling... that's where they lose me. That's when I tell them they're speaking series.... (Series is what they call our language when they don't understand us Americans..) What fun it is trying to understand an angry Liberian.
I want to answer some questions from the past emails. so get ready... Your personal studying will be good if you use Preach My Gospel. Especially if your trying to gain these Christ like attributes. Even if you read a few pages in your Bible or BOM and mark things down and study the stories, you will learn so many things. As I go through and mark things, new ideas or thoughts come to mind on how I can become better. As far as the eggs smelling like fish... they smell and TASTE like fish, but they haven't for awhile. I think it was just a bad batch for a good couple of weeks. They probably do get fed that fish stuff as well.
Keep my name in the temple for sure! The more prayers the better!! Thank you for the scriptures as well. They are great. The language is weird. You can't really call it a language because all they do is chop the last half of the word off of some of the words. So understanding it now is fine, and I can speak some of it, but it isn't really a language. You don't have to learn any words, its just how they mush and subtract different letters. It sounds like a completely different language though. When you know what they are saying, you get used to it.
I don't have much to say this week sorry... I will write more next time, but
life in LIB is going great! Missionary work is moving along like always! I want
to send pictures but I run out of time every time. so next week I will
try! If you could send a new journal then I will be able to have it here just in
case I run out of room in this one. I love to write a lot of details so I take
up a few pages.
Some scriptures I found this week for you all...
all of Proverbs 13
Alma 34:32-35
Mark 13:32-37
I have not received anymore of your packages that you said you have sent. I hope that none of the Liberian post men have taken them. I may be getting transferred this next transfer.
I love you all so much and keep you in my prayers.
Elder Zaugg
