The weeks are going Fast!

March 3, 2014

Hey Family and My Friends
 This last week went by so fast, really crazy, what is even more crazy, is
 on the 8th of this week I turn one year on mission.   I feel like I have
been here a year.   But I feel so young still its weird, I am grateful
for all my challenges.   All the hard time and Difficult times, and the
Happy, peaceful, and joyous times. My mission is teaching me so many important lessons, 
that I need to learn, and skills that I will need
 in the future, My mission was and is the best decision I have made in my
 life to this point in time. I do not and will not regret this time
 that I have to Give back to the KING of Kings my LORD Jesus Christ.
 This last week went so good, we had a lot of fun and were able to
 encounter many great people looking for the truth. One in particular,
 named James Tennie, this guy saw missionaries in Monrovia, and said in
 his heart that he was going to attend this church to see what they are
 teaching.  He came to church and many people say so many things about
 the Church of Jesus Christ here in Kakata.  On his way to the chapel
 many pastors came to him and said he is making a big mistake to go to
 this Church, they worship the devil and sacrifice sheep, and drink
human blood, even with their pathetic lies, he rebuked them and pushed
 on.  Now he has come and he knows that all other Churches are false for
 he has been to almost everyone of them in Liberia.  The Church of
Jesus Christ is the Only True Church, this is Christ church. This guy
 isn't a small guy in Kakata either he is a well known man and Very
 respected in the communities here. This guy was led to the Church by
 the Light of Christ and the Spirit, and by God our Heavenly Father.
 James has a great family and we are working hard to make things the
 best for them.  We also have other great miracles, but I don't have
 enough time in an email.   The people here are so receptive, they
are so much more different than those who are closer to the coast and
 the areas I have been in.   This Place is Special, every body here is so
 prepared, something big is going to happen here in the Future.
 President Kirkham reaffirms that with hoping for a District here at
 the End of 2014, we are going to have 5 baptisms this Saturday,  a
 father and two Children, his wife is already baptized.  Two woman Nancy Yorfee,

visits, I am so proud.  Just got to get the Elders of Israel fired up! I

 Blessings, that's the Goal for all our married Couples in our Branch. I
