Short email due to power outage

Once again its email time!!!  I replied to last weeks email and a few emails before that in a letter, so they should be coming soon since I gave them to the couples last Tuesday. And mom, Elder Avornu finally got his package and he loved it! Thank you for making these missionaries day with sending them packages.  They see other people getting them and they don't think they'll get one, so when they see it come for them, they go CRAZY!!  If you could send them a Christmas package I think it would make their mission.  This is Elder Osayi last Christmas on mission to.  How is everything back home? I saw the pictures on copy.com and they are sweet!  My sisters haven't changed one bit. still that sassy attitude going on(;  and then the pictures of Brook and Tay are cute.  Those two will be big when I come home!!  I hope there is some explanation about the buck and bull pictures... those things are huge!! And I don't have any pictures this week. sorry... 

(I had something here about Elder Vinson, but the computer deleted it.  I'll tell you about it next week if I remember...  Oh Liberian internet.)
Except for when I went on exchange with Elder Humphreys Thursday.  We were walking through another part of Logan Town, when we heard a man screaming words in an unknown tongue.  I looked toward the direction the voice was coming from, and I see a man with one leg and a crutch, running down this path between these huts still screaming.  Um.... this was Elder Humphreys old area and he said, this guy is crazy and likes white missionaries so just keep walking.  Yeah, you don't ask questions when you see that.  Mental illness is sooo common in Liberia.  Its sad.  Even the day before this happened, Elder Bowring and I were walking back to the apartment on one of the roads in our area, and we saw 5 police men go quickly up the road in front of us. They then disappeared around the bend.  As we were coming around the bend, we saw a huge crowd of people gathered around a man, with the police in the middle.  And yes, my curiosity got the best of me. After the police took the man, I asked some of the people what happened and they said Magic.  That didn't satisfy what I wanted to know....  I asked what he did, and the guy told me that He took a knife and pulled his eyeball out and then stuck it back in.  Alright, that was satisfying.  Crazy things happen in Liberia!! I LOVE IT!!  That's why I love living in Liberia!  Where else will you be able to witness sketchy magic tricks?? and no mom, it is not Witch Craft, so don't get scared and call the mission. (; Love you!
Until next time! I love you all and have a good week!
