I Clothes Lined Myself

Another exciting week in LIB! First off.... I can't believe that Brook is starting school today!!!!!  BROOK! Have fun on your first day and make sure to tease all those nasty boys with cooties.  You can tell them if they mess with you your uncle Garrett will come beat them up for you.  Make lots of friends so that you can have sleep overs with them(;  Crazy its already time for her to start school! Make sure to send pictures of her first day next week! Braden looks like a stud at the MTC!! I'm so glad he has made it out now!  He'll love serving the Lord with all the energy he has.  It is the most rewarding thing you could do.  The picture of my sisters and Grandma is a good one.  I don't know how they aren't married yet.  Actually I do... I pray that they won't get married until after March 2015...  see the power of Faith?  (; kidding, God just knows what's best and he is on my side with having you all get married in 2015(: 

 

 My first son didn't receive a package before I left, but I think you could still send him one.  It made Elder Osayis day when he got his.  He would always talk about it, so it really brightens their day when they get stuff like that.  My other companions name I just had was Elder Avornu.  So maybe if you guys have time, you could send one his way.  He would appreciate it.  I love that kid so much! We had a great time together, I'm sad that we got separated but I know that Logan Town needs me now.
 

I will need a nice shampoo and cut from Kendra when I get home.  I currently only wash my hair once a week so that I will have enough shampoo to last me a good chunk of my mission.  Every pday is when I spoil myself with a nice shower and good food.  When I mean nice shower, I mean a cold bucket of water with a cup to pour over my body with some shampoo.  That's Liberian enjoyment right there.  And good food is a boiled egg with a cucumber on a 25-30LD bread.  This is a high quality day for me. So, The Frosties are still made by Kellogg's but they call them Frosties... I don't know why.  But the Nido milk is so nice! The Best they have in LIB.  I think its manufactured in a middle eastern country.  That's where majority of our products we buy come from.  They have a ketchup that's made by the Lebanese people and its not too bad actually.  Not the greatest but it still tastes some what like ketchup. I got 5 packages by the way!!! And yes I got all the stuff you have mentioned except 4 pens from the package that you had the sticky note in.  I guess they needed them more than me.  And they also ate one of my delicious protein snickers bars....  How rude.  I eat lots of egg sandwiches and rice.  Sometimes I'll throw in some frosted/corn flakes with sliced up bananas.  If we have some extra money, we'll buy some French fries or a cake and make it.  So we do enjoy some of the time, but most of the time its the same.  I will explain some food details if you write a letter and ask about it.  I'm trying to reply to last weeks email and still write more stories. 

Time just slips away!!  And studying... I don't have enough time to study in one hour.  I wish they would let us have 2 hours personal study and 1 hour companion study.  I love reading and learning about the Book of Mormon and Bible stories.  I am now just learning about all those stories that I heard people talking about growing up.... (;  Thank you for sending all that food and pens and everything!! And the pizza stuff! We will be making it sometime this week or next pday!! I love getting stuff like this!  Different meals are fun to make!  I am in desperate need of a journal!! If you could send me another one in the next package I would appreciate it! I write too much detail so I take up 4 pages a day.  So I need another one.  Maybe you could send 2 and then I will have back ups. 

Okay, so the first story this week.  I had just moved into my new apartment and was trying to figure out how to hang my clothes up, because we don't have a closet to put our clothes in.  I remembered the clothes lines that I had with me. I tied one to a nail on one side of the room and then tied it to the other nail on the other side.  I then hung my clothes up and it worked perfectly!  The only problem was that it hung a little low.  I didn't think anything of it, so I went to bed.  In the middle of the night I had to go to the bathroom, so I got out of bed and went. On my way back to my bed I was half asleep and then I felt something start choking me.  Yeah...  I clothes lined myself.  It was actually pretty scary because I didn't know what it was until I realized it was my clothes line. haha  yeah, I took it down in the morning.  It was a good idea while it lasted!

Now last one, I'm almost out of time. While I was on exchange waiting for my companion to come, we were in the other Logan Town area teaching.  As we were teaching Elder Osayi told me to turn around, and just as I turned around, I saw a little boy going to the bathroom.  No big deal, we see it all the time.  But he told me that the little boy had got it on himself.  The next thing I see is, his mom going over to a dried up palm leaf, rips off some leaves, goes back, and wipes this little boy. I always thought it was funny when people would joke about using a leaf in the wild.  well, I actually saw it happen... and it doesn't look comfortable.  especially with the dried part of the leaf... why couldn't she have grabbed a green leaf?  Probably would have been a lot softer then dried.

Well I'll try to tell more stories next time and more about my companion and area.  This new area is confusing.  I'll explain next week.  I'm training Elder Bowring from Blanding Utah!  He's awesome!  My first American companion and let me tell you, it is pretty sweet watching an American go through what I went through. So many new experiences!  I love it here!! 

Read all of Helaman 6:39-40 but read the whole chapter  as well.  I hope you all have a great week and I love you all!!  Until next week.
