HEY! HEY! So I have some CRAZY news! Elder Kisesi and I are getting
Emergency transferred!!! What! The zone leaders just let us know. Because of
some things happening with the government not excepting some visas and working
permits, missionaries are being taken out of Kenya. So, Elder Kisesi and I are
getting sent to Chulu! That is hardest part in the mission and we will be
whitewashing an area. It’s HOT kabisa! CRAAAZY! We leave tomorrow! I am SO
excited and really in shock. They don't really speak Swahili there but they
speak Kikamba, which is just the tribal language of the Kambas. So...another
language! Haha Oh man, that just really tops the day. This day has really been
so GOOD. We got to go and play some futball...and I almost made this rad goal
but missed by a little bit. I just got done eating some nice juicy sugar cane
and am loving to be able to write my wonderful family from back home. Love you
guys!!!
Wow, so this week has really been so great! We had district
conference and so the elders from Kitale were staying here in Eldoret.
Unfortunately Elder Kisesi and I did not get to host any elders in our flat
this time but we all still had a lot of fun. We had Elder Bricknail of the Area
Seventy here speaking to us. He was such a powerful and amazing speaker and
just an extraordinaire person. I have had such a good week and truly know that
I can say I have been obedient like crazy, have worked hard, and have seen the
blessing of these two great things. I love talking about obedience and that is
something to be honest, is what Mission President (President Hicken) has really
been focusing on for all of the mission. All of these things that we have
learned in the last few days, has really struck my heart even deeper to become
everything I can be and give my all in everything that I do. Anyhow, so I can
say that we really are having these great six investigators that are really
progressing and moving along in their testimonies just great! One whose name is
Kevin keeps progressing but just simply won't accept a certain day to be
baptized worth everything! He just needs some time but he is super powerful and
really is pretty much already a member. He is giving us referrals and is
telling everybody about what we have shared with him...future missionary? I
think yes!
Oh! Ok, so that field that you saw, we plowed the whole thing with
Jembes!!! (Hoes) It is something that happens pretty regularly but it was
BIG this time and that is the third time that I have not had gloves for it. I
had blisters again all over my hands, which is just simply a reminder of how it
builds my testimony. Some good hard sweaty Kenyan work. Cultivating. You know
though, I never see the pics that Sister Anderson sends you…haha. Thanks for
the nice comments, I probably looked nice and sweaty and manly. She also
sent you some group pics I see and so those Elders in Kitale are pretty much
all Mazungu! (White)
Anyhow, I will keep you updated on when I get in my new area and the
people and the heat and the powerful bikes (Iron Horses). I am excited for the
week and just love you and hope all keep going well. KEEP SAFE! I pray for you
every day and just know that the Lord is blessing you and that makes me so
happy! Well Asante sana, and Kwaheri!
Elder Andreasen
