Monrovia Zone and Leister Peak

Assistants visiting missionary apartments in the Monrovia Zone
After Monrovia Zone Leadership Training which included the zone leaders and district leaders.
The assistants stayed with the Congo Town District Apartment while in Liberia.  They bring their own nets and sheets so they can sleep anywhere during the visits.
Elder Taylor getting some cool things out of their freezer.  We have a freezer in each apartment throughout the mission because the power is off all day.  So it keeps things somewhat cool until the evening. They only  have a generator to give them electricity at night.  We go to Liberia again in two weeks for interviews with President Roggia.  We should be able to see everyone and get pictures of everyone.
We had a Super Preparation day.  We gathered the Freetown Zone together and hiked up to Leister Peak.
 
We stopped along the way while President Roggia talked to us about Easter and the Savior's timeline.  His message was very inspiring to us all.
 Aren't these carved steps up to a "zinc house" just fantastic?
Freetown Zone Leaders Elder Ditsi and Elder Emanuelson--they organized the journey.
The cell phone always ringing... Heavenly Father's work to do.
Sister missionaries resting a few minutes.

 Pointing out landmarks... It looks like Elder Norton is picking up the house.
Still grazing...everyone is getting up to leave...
Jumping high ...and Elder Stewart(in red) with extra energy to do so!

What is a "zinc" house? I have really enjoyed your last few posts. I am reminded that I have it EASY in so many temporal ways. Interesting that sheets and nets allow for rest anywhere, and so everyone brings their own and does not expect to rely on the sheets and nets of others. Sort of like your own personal testimony.

"zinc" or corrugated aluminum tin is used for shelters or houses. A family will live in one of these. So, it is called "zinc" housing. It is a very common sight here.
