Freetown Page #3

Stop. All of you.

This is just too fast.

We need to think.

Lives are at stake here, including ours.

I assured President Cunningham

that I was gonna keep you safe.

And he trusts that I do the right thing.

Look, I don't care

if you're not gonna teach

another soul ever again.

We are not going to Freetown.

Hymns...

Scriptures...

The Savior...

These were not always a part of my life.

One day, I meet two men

in white shirts and ties

on the streets.

They ask me if they can share a message.

I said no.

It wasn't for me.

Not after some of the things

I have done.

When I turned to leave,

Elder Menti said, "Will you pray for us?"

Will you pray for us?"

I didn't know

who these missionaries were.

I've never been to any church before.

I've never even said a prayer before.

But those simple words stuck in my mind.

That night, before I went to bed,

I spoke out loud to God.

For the first time in my life,

I said a prayer.

I didn't even know if I did it right.

I just talked.

And it felt like

I could tell him anything.

It felt like he was

actually listening to me.

It was so easy.

Now, that was the first time

I ever said a prayer.

If you do not have a chance to

share this message with others,

then the rebels have already won.

We don't even know if we can get there,

let alone if we should.

When we leave our apartment

every morning,

we don't always know where we are going.

Revelation doesn't come

when we are hiding in the shadows

or sitting on the ground, asking for it.

It doesn't come that way.

It comes when we are out working,

without knowing where we are going,

constantly taking steps forward.

So, when do we go?

We should sleep

at the mission office tonight,

and then we'll leave

first thing tomorrow morning.

What about Gaye and Nyanforth?

I'll go to Paynesville tomorrow morning

and tell them to meet you

at the mission office.

There's no time to wait.

No one gets left behind.

Thank you, sister.

At your service.

Where did all these people come from?

They are people that feel threatened.

We go with them in the morning

to the northern region,

where it's safer.

You will stay with us.

Thank you,

but we cannot leave the mission.

They're killing the Krahn.

And the rest, they take into camps.

There's not enough food here

for these people.

Not even for tonight.

We will go and get something to eat.

No.

The rebels are out there.

Please.

We will be fine.

I'll go with you.

Uh, your name.

They will question you.

They will know.

I will go.

Be careful.

- I love you, daddy.

- I love you, too.

Hey! Stop the car!

I will head to the field.

You see what you can find.

- And let's meet back here.
