Pumping Water In The Round

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!   

Take lots of photos of your bbq or party you'll be having this week!! We'll be sure to celebrate here too, no worries!  The AP's are coming on exchange that day as well. Thank you for doing something for Elder Haas!  He loved it!!!!!    And yes, the little boy in the Picture was shaking and scared of the "white man."  Quick little funny fact, how they say white man makes me laugh everytime.  You'll be walking down and then hear,"Write man!!  write man!!"  hahahah gets me everytime.    

 As you know, it was Elder Haas's one year mark this gone Saturday.  And of course, we did something small.  We picked up 4lbs of meat on our way home from our area, planned, and then set up a coal pot, laid a metal grill looking thing on top, and grilled some meat.  To top it off, we lathered honey bbq sauce over the top, with a side of baked french fries, with refried beans. Hope your mouth's not watering too much.  It was soooooooooo good.  Who ever said you can't have bbq in Liberia!?  We find out all the ways to do it.  We'll be going in town this Tuesday for interviews with President and mission council, so maybe on our way home, we'll stop somewhere and get a small treat to celebrate one last time.  Not much to do in the bush.

This week, we were able to go out and do a service project in Camp 2.  The place was called round field, and in the center of the place, there's a water pump where most of the community comes to pump for drinking water.  During the week we spoke with our members and investigators around there and told them what we were wanting to do, and that we even wanted them to help us out.  When Thursday came, majority of our help was from our investigators!!  How awesome is that? They were helping us carry everyone's water to their houses and just keeping a lively atmosphere for everyone.  It created a really good relationship between the church and the community.  We have a lot of friends now around that area who are a little more receptive to listen to what we have to share.  There is even one woman I buy my coconuts from, who was taking photos of us pumping the water.  They were all laughing at us and thought it was great.  Everyone appreciated what we did for them.  Its a daily thing for them that they have to do, so helping them out gave them a break, which I believed they loved.  So many little kids were chilling around us not doing anything but watching. One of the funnest projects we've done. 

I'm wanting to send some more photos, so sorry for another short email.  Quick question though, in the next thing you send, can you put inside a journal for me.  Thank you!  Have a great week of partying!!!!  Enjoy your Birthday DAD!!!!!  And the 4TH!!!!!!

Love Elder Zaugg
