Transfer News

I GOT ALL OF MY PACKAGES FINALLY!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

First off, I love the pictures!!!.  All my memories of these things have faded away, so when I see them its really weird!  I love it though.   That's cool we have players from RSL playing on the US Men's team.  That's all these people talk about here is football.  The World Cup is always on their minds and when the teams were qualifying for it, everyone was at the video clubs watching the games.  Lets hope USA can do work yeah?   Now the cute African children are just that. Cute. They get so attracted to our skin that they come running up with their slobbery hands and start rubbing your arms or grabbing your hands.  I have learned not to touch any part of my body until I can get to the apartment and sanitize myself.  :)
Some exciting news this week in the mission field.  TRANSFER NEWS!!!!  and guess what... Elder Zaugg's son is training! yay! I will have a grandson on mission now.  That means I'm leaving for the first time!  I will miss Banjor.  I got transferred to Logan Town! I'm living in the same apartment complex as Elder Erickson.  We will enjoy (;    I'm training again.  COOL.  

Also, in this last week as we were proselyting, we were walking on a new road coming from a less active members compound, when we saw this lady begging on the side of the road.  When I looked at her, I realized that this lady had no eyeballs.  It was sad to see it, it was probably from the war.  These people have been through a lot.
Some scriptures to study.  
Alma 13:20  
Alma 62:46-51
Helaman 5: 2     I was thinking about America on this one

I hope you all have a good week and I will keep praying for you!  Sorry I didn't have plenty of stories this week, but I'm sure next week in my new area I will have some!  I love you all so much! 
Until next week.
Love, Elder Zaugg

This is only half of the 44 packages that the Royal Liberian Post Office had. 
Missionaries had not received packages since May.

WHERE HAS THE MAIL BEEN?
Post taken from the Official Liberia Mission Website. The senior couple wrote:
On Wednesday as I walked into the office I was greeted by 2 Royal Liberian Mail employee's asking me why I had not been to pick up our packages.  I told them that Brother Sayon went 2-3 times a week.  They then gave me a bag of 22 packages for missionaries!  They informed me that they could not store them and that we needed to pick them up more often.  When Brother Sayon got to the office he said that he had gotten a call saying that there were packages for the missionaries.  On Thursday he went to the post office to see what had happened.  He was given another 22 packages!!!  These were packages from June, July and August.  Some of them had been eaten into by rats and mice and others were fine.  There was one package that was so badly eaten we  had to open (what was left of the box) and transfer the contents into another box.  The only thing that had been eaten (besides the box) was a whole package of Twizzlers - we have discriminating rats at the post office!



New Washing Machines for the Missionaries!
