New Area

So my new area is amazing, and my companion is from the Middle East,

his name is

Funny story,   when the transfer news came Sunday night, I was told I

was going to Rokel with an Elder Geiba ,  I was told Rokel in part of

Congo cross, A branch in the heart of the city, and I would be in the

wealthy end of the city, a place with super markets and English….  I

was also told I would be living in the mission office compound…  On

Friday night, the end of Day one of my journey to free town I found

out it wasn’t the correct information.  I am in Rokel but my companion

is not Elder Geiba, and Rokel is not in the heart of the city.

   Rokel is as Far East as you can go, and is a brand new area,    It

opened up for 6 weeks but then closed, it was closed for 6 weeks, and

they just opened it up again;   Only 3 missionaries have been in this

area, I being one of them.    my companions name is Elder Tawiah

Our area is the biggest in free town, it is huge!!  And Bush,  Haha If

you know me you can imagine how happy I was when I found out I was not

going to the city, but am opening an area that is new to the church,

we don’t have a branch or even a unit in our area we are pioneering

the area and everything.

I am so happy!  Who needs a super market, haha

  The only downer is the travel, we have to travel far into our area,

to go to part of our area we take 2 cars, and 2 bikes, and that is not

even to edge of the area,  one way,

 The apartment we are in is nice thou, different unit worships there,

and 6 elders are there, but very nice and clean, no water though, but

we do have generator from 7 to 10:25 each night.

As soon as I saw the area and met my companion I received my witness

from the lord, that he has big plans for this little piece of Africa.

And the best part…. Mountains we are surrounded by mountains, amazing

green mountains,   It reminded me much of home in a good way, Liberia is

very flat, I forgot what it is like to be surrounded by mountains
