Alma chapter 29 verse 8

Doing The Lord's Errand In Sierra Leone


A missionary blog of Elder & Sister Neves and their experiences in Sierra Leone Freetown West Africa and adjacent cities and towns in 2010 and 2011.



For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true.

Two days and a wake up!


Friday night with no more than two days and a wake up before we're in the compound on the hill. I'm still walking around barefooted and have a dozen things to do before I'm ready. There's Bill O'Rielly to watch for his latest view of Obama and then Rush to catch on his archives later on tonight and last but not least I've got your basic Office to pull up. I don't know how I'll ever get it done. The only consolation is that I should have plenty of time to catch up on my sleep when I arrive at the center on Monday.

I do have a horse ride with the boys scheduled for tomorrow; one last time before we leave. Its supposed to be raining but we'll see how it shakes out. I figured I'd take out my dog and horse tomorrow and then shoot 'em so no one will mess with either while I'm gone.

I thought I'd do a nostalgic visit to the office today to see how it looked without me there and my little office manager friend who helped me run things for the last six years looked up, sneered at me, and said, "stop spending so much money". It's pretty sad. Yesterday I was the big boss that no one messed with and now I'm the little man getting messed on. I guess I have to be better to Diana so someone will love me.

At this time you have a part of a afternoon and a wake up. We will be thinking of you & Diana. Thanks for your friendship. Are you going to preserve your mustache so it can be reattached when you get back, so you will have it along with your dog & your horse?

Just realized after responding to Eldon's last post it's already been a week since your last post and 6 days since you've left for the MTC. Wow, time flies! I thought about what Eldon wrote about the "last ride" with the boys last Saturday. I hope you didn't get too rained on. Today, Gabe, Heidi and I hiked up in Payson Canyon. It turned out to be a beautiful day after a little sprinkle in the morning.
I agree with you Diana-Preach My Gospel is an awesome book! Gabe has given some family night lessons from it.
Hope your first week has been awesome! :o)
