The Heavens Have Been Releasing Torrents of Rain!

July 7, 2014

Yeah Hello Everyone

So this week was really quite busy and really I kinda went crazy. Our last P-day was great we had fun enjoying the small sun that we could, until it was covered by storm clouds. The Heavens have been releasing torrents of rain and it has really made traveling in the mission difficult, as I am sure you can see from the Photos, On Tuesday we went to go get my companions toe fixed but we ended up not going cause the Doctor wasn't there, so instead we went and did some stuff with the Assistants at the Mission office, and than made our way home in a Demolition derby on the Road.  Which in a real sense it is, its funny to see how Liberians react to all this water and driving on a super small road with many cars on it. Sister Berrett is a great Driver, she, I think learned how to drive stick from Elder Berrett.  Wednesday we had mission council that took forever.  It was great to see the plans that President wants to do this coming transfer and also what the Lord has reveled to him to help us in our callings as missionaries.  We had small interview with President Kirkham after to discuss some things in our Zone...... than my companion and I went to go get a Taxi at broad street and looked at traffic and decided we could get to where we needed just by walking.  We did go faster than traffic anyways. We walked 5 to 6 miles to a place called Bong Mines Bridge in Brand new Boots, the last mile getting to Bong Mine Bridge was not easy we had blisters on our feet like crazy and I was walking on parts of my feet I never thought I would walk on, we finally got to the Apartment and our feet were hurting to go out for the remaining hour to teach... Thursday we went back into Town to ELWA hospital, and finally got my companions toe Fixed YAY, I think it was so exciting that even the Angels sang in heaven, but all is well with Elder Pearmian and his better looking Toe :)... Friday we didn't go out cause his toe had to heal its self and he couldn't walk on it plenty, so he lie

  

in his bed, I tried to find productive things to do! Saturday it rained ALL day long, that's the photo of the Berretts and us standing in the water, that was inside our compound and the water was coming to the porch step, we were barely able to go out and teach MAMA our recent convert, wow it was great to teach some one, dang it just felt so good, like that Goodfeeling song I forgot who sings it think FLORida, oh well yeah JOY beyond comprehension. Sunday President Kofa took us in his car through the Muddy road to get to Church, so my companion didn't have to walk through it, that was nice,.  We were able to teach another Recent convert about serving others and why we do this thing called Service. we also contacted two Referrals who were brought to Church by some members, that's my week for a recap! not to exciting not to full of a whole lot, but i know I learned some great lessons from this week, and I Know for fact that my Patience has been strengthened greatly, which I really needed. MOM HAPPY BIRTHDAY this Week I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! and the best way I can show my love to you right now is by loving others and giving them the love, you have taught me to have for the SAVIOR. I hope you all have a great week and that God will bless you all so much. I love You all, Love Elder Erickson
