Riley # 60 - Inglewood, CA - My new companion, My new area
March 24, 2014
Hi,
It has been an interesting week. Working in this area is totally different than working with the Chinese before. The people are totally different here.
My companion's name is Elder Kpainay. I forgot to take photos, so I don't have any of him yet, but he is awesome. He was born in Liberia, but came to the US when he was seven.
He is from Maryland and was going to Southern Virginia University before his mission. He goes home in July, so I am the junior companion again, which is really rather wonderful.

That being said, it is still relatively poor. The majority of the people here are Hispanic and Black, so I had only driven through here a few times before living here. It is still pretty diverse, with people here from a number of different countries. It is really different than what I am used to, but the people seem very friendly.
President Weidman said I will spend a little while here, but that I will be put back into Chinese program eventually.

Love,
Elder Bowman
Wish Elder Bowman and his companion from Liberia the best as they serve in Inglewood!
