Freetown Page #6

Through your son, you've shown power

to even feed thousands.

You've calmed the seas

and even walked on water.

Water.

Thank you, God.

Walk on water.

Hey. Good morning.

Forkpah.

Selli.

It's a good day to teach.

Gaye.

Hey. Good morning.

Menti. Meyers.

Nyanforth.

Hey.

Wake up.

Guys, let's go.

What? What's happened?

- Good morning.

- Is it?

What did I miss?

A glorious sunrise.

- Good morning, Abubakar.

- Selli, good morning.

- Good morning.

- Let's go.

Up. Hey, come on, guys.

We're going to Freetown today.

What? How do you know that?

Because you, my brother,

are serving an all-powerful God.

The Lord provides a way.

Yes, he does.

At this rate,

we are going to be here for a while.

Yes.

Got anything to do

to pass away the time?

Okay, GUYS-

There's a bunch, probably...

Abubakar.

- I gave them the Book of Mormon.

- Guys! Brothers, hey. Hey!

Do whatever he says. Please.

Pull the car over,

and get out, all of you.

Let's go.

Right there. Let's go.

Back off, all of you! Back off!

I'll kill every last one of you

for helping this Krahn,

starting with him.

Move! Move back!

These young men are missionaries.

They've done nothing wrong.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Hold it right there. Hey, you.

What are you doing? Huh?

What is your authority?

Who is that?

Who are you?

My name is Elder John Gaye.

Let him go.

He is one of those people.

He is a Krahn.

I said let him go.

Where are you from?

I'm from Monrovia, sir.

I left my home and my family

to serve the people of Liberia

for two years.

I'm a volunteer.

And you are all with him?

And you want to leave Liberia?

Sir, we have been unable

to teach for over six months now

because of rebel fighting.

We are going to Freetown

to continue teaching

until conditions in Monrovia

are safe to return.

And you all made it here in this thing?

Yeah, on one tank of petrol.

With no flats

and very little damage

to the undercarriage.

And you... Why do you want

to deny them passage?

There is no place for any Krahn

in this country.

And you? Whose side are you on?

Hmm?

You weak, little Krahn lover.

I've sworn to protect

our great nation Liberia

by eliminating all filthy Krahns,

and he is a Krahn.

And so am I!

Get them on the next ferry.

Wherever they need to go.

Now.

How did you know, Abubakar?

Know what?

How did you know about the ferry,

that we would make it across?

He had faith... faith we would.

How did you know?

I didn't know.

I didn't ever know.

Somewhere along the way,

between the mission office

and the rebel checkpoints,

between running out of petrol

but somehow always having enough,

or children fleeing from rebels

but smiling whenever they see you,

between hoping for the future

but fearing what was ahead,

it just doesn't make sense

to doubt anymore.

Thank you, Abubakar.

Selli, when we get there,

don't let Sister Cunningham see you.

You're kind of a mess.

If I stand next to Meyers,

I'll do just fine.

Hey, what do you mean?

I look fine.

- This is it.

- All right.

Let's go say hello.

My leg hurts.

Elder Menti?

Elder Meyers?

- Let's go say hello.

- Hey. All right.

Oh. Look at you.

Oh.

Yeah.

- President.

- Elder, how are you?

I'm fine.

- You made it.

- Yes.

- I'm so glad you're here.

- Meyers, look at you.

It's so good to see you.

There.

Elders.

Please, come in. Come in.

There's plenty of room.

Is there work?

- Lots of work.

- Good.

Hello, president.

What are you doing?

Uh, I thought

I should remove the battery

to keep it safe.

Everything is safe.

Brother Abubakar,

you've done everything I asked.

Thank you.

It's a pleasure.
