The Missionaries

The missionaries came and there was six of them and one was a white man. He was telling them that they were all sons of God. He told them all about God, the creator of all the world, men and women. He also told them that they worship false gods. He told them that the good men who worship the true God lived forever in his kingdom. The missionaries are more like the people who walk around spreading Gods word, like Evangelist people. The missionaries spent their first four to five days in the market place and went into the village that morning to preach the gospel. The people gave the missionaries a piece of land to build their shrine which I thought was very generous of them. Obierika told Okonkwo that he had seen Nwoye with the missionaries and his father found out and got mad. Nwoye ended up going to their school to learn how to read and write and Mr. Kiaga's joy was very great. And Okonkwo thought that it wassn't worth fighting for Nwoye which is kind of wrong but that's their culture.
