CHAPTER 24

Happy Sunday to you all reading this and my Sunday has been fantastic.

I woke early this morning to follow mom to the hospital to receive her drip for today, we left at around 6:30am and by 7:00am we were through so we headed for home. On our way back mom saw a church member of mine and practically embarrassed me like I'll say by telling him to always come pick me in the morning for church service, she further went on to tell him that she doesn't see anyone from my church coming to visit me regularly and was asking why. I felt embarrassed with this output of hers but just smiled it away in front of the brother (church member ).

After all that we continued back home and I went to back to bed to catch up on the slept I'd lost due to me waking up on time and following her to the hospital. I finished that round of sweet morning sleep when I woke up by 8:45am and then I started prepping for church.

I swept my house, took my bath, brushed my teeth and then went to buy breakfast. Normally I don't eat on a Sunday morning but I had to because I was going to another church not mine and didn't know how long they will take  for their service.

After all that was done I set off to church, on my way down there I had a dilemma regarding what I wore. The church I was going to visit as I know is full with a congregation of white and other different colors. The white are for the males and the multiple colors are for the females, i was wearing black and this got me confused, i was like, “how will the whole male be on white shirt and am on black T-shirt”, i mean, I'll look odd, like an outcast, a new comer as I'll say but after a lot of ponder I decided I was gonna go like that, though I'll be odd with the black but that's gonna be because am different and not an outcast, besides wearing white on black or blue as I was is just gonna make me look like a chorister that am not. So I went on like that.

I got to the church entrance and the first two males I met were on white shirt, then that feeling of “if had known, i would have just go back home to put on my white shirt ooo" came on but I locked up( comport myself) and went on like I was the king of the day---off course am a king, that's why am called sire, lol--- . As I was approaching them my sex appeal dropped again and I saw myself going to ask them if I was looking awkward for the service but immediately my tongue quickly changed what my mind had planned to ask them and instead what I asked them was if the path I was was the right one to the auditorium even though I knew it was because I could see other walking down there. And so they reply with a yes and I went on in, in my walking in I was muttering to myself still about how I would have just put on my white shirt to avoid being noticed as a stranger and while doing that a man saw me and greeted me with a warm smile ---you know that kind of smile you have on when you see something you like? Ya, that one--- suddenly I was calm but still I had eyes on me and so I had to stop walking and then reached out to Neye on BBM to come get me because its her church conference. She came out and helped me past through all the looks I was getting.

I sat down close to her as I was listening carefully to what the person on the podium was saying though her cousin bethel was all over the place distracting my attention. Still I could pick some things from what was being said, i was in a church but felt like I was in a meeting, maybe it's because it's a church conference or maybe it's because they just have a different way of sharing the gospel. At about 12:35pm the service closed and the new comers went to a room know as the family room, i think, for a 30mins meeting where questions were asked about the church and it's doctrines due to rumours about it being an occultic church. Truth is it's not, am not just talking based on the answers that was given by the bishop but also by my observations, their mode of service and worship is different and not like the mainstream Christianity and because of that people don't believe they are Godly---I mean that's normal, people will always fear what they don't understand but that doesn't mean it's evil---. After the question section we said a prayer and then left to say hi to a couple of people before we started coming back home.

I got home really tired, after taking off my clothes and doing lunch I then went to bed and slept till about 4:55pm. Knowing I have a sketching to finish I drew out my sketch pad and started sketching from where I left off yesterday. I didn't that for an hour plus then took a chill again before going to run an errand for dad.

On my back from the errand I went to see Neye as her house is along the road I take to the bus stop and so I can't just pass by without saying hi. I stayed around till 8:55pm, realizing that it was getting late I started coming back home. Got home and reported to my dad as regards the errand then I did dinner and now am writing to ya'll.

Ll: “not everywhere you hear to be evil is evil, always be brave enough to find out things for yourself and don't just relay on what you've been told or might have heard in a gossip or rumour”

Thanks for reading and peace.

In case you are wondering the name of the church it's, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint, it's the second widely known church in the Latter-day Saint movement after the Community of Christ.
