We arrived safely in the city of Makeni on Tuesday and began our public teaching on Wednesday. The drive from Freetown to Makeni was a pleasant but exhausting drive. The countryside is dotted with a number of small villages most without electricity or running water.
We have experienced internet problems at the hotel on Makeni which has been frustrating. I apologize for not being able to post to this blog before now. It is finally working but is painfully slow.
We have had good attendance at our lessons during the late afternoon and early evening. On Wednesday we had around 40 and today the number exceeded 60. I have been preaching first principal lessons while Mike has dealt with the uniqueness of the Bible and Justin with the purpose of baptism and the one body. Many good questions were submitted for discussion indicating serious thought on the part of the audience.
We had a private study with some of the brethren this morning and I think we helped solve some long standing problems. Hopefully, the brethren will be able to work together more peacefully with patience and love.
If we are able to continue with internet access I will post more news tomorrow.
