Hello! SO, What a great day ya!? Kind of awesome. That is great that
you got to speak in your ward. Speaking is a nice thing sometimes, is what I
have realized. And you know about that Baptism and confirmation that you had in
your class on Sunday, well I just wanted to say that it really is SO TRUE! That
is something that we have to explain to so many people around. The confirmation
part of baptism is one of the most important parts, and I love it when we get
to explain how it can help someone to really endure to the end. That is really
so great that you made it back safe to that nice place. It sounds like there is
always something to clean in that yard, but hopefully you’re just finding ways
to be happy doing it! Hey dad, you'll have to tell me how the fishing was.
This week here on my end, was very uneventful really, but things did
happen. I got to receive my new companion. HE is GREAT! Kind of awesome that we
already new each other from Eldoret. So we are just working hard, and
re-filling some our investigator pool and all such things. It is like we only
had a half a week to work, but we were able to meet SO many new people. We are
just figuring out the whole teaching style of things, and so I am way excited
to see what happens this next week. We have been teaching our friend Japhet the
lessons after baptism, and I think that we can really get him on a mission next
year, if he keeps up the great work! That would be so great. I would love to
see him go and bless lives in service for two years full time.
Hmmm. I really think that there is not too much else left, except
that I am healthy and am happy and always trying to smile and laugh, and work
hard. I am learning a lot from Elder Ochieng. He is really great, and humble,
and has been on mission for only three months, but is just so nice, and ready
to work. He just came up from Tanzania, and so the thing is, they only speak
Swahili in Tanzania and so he is used to that PURE Swahili and just teaching in
Swahili. I decided that I should probably actually start taking learning
Swahili seriously and...well...just learn it. I stopped having the desire to
learn it for a while, but now I am back on! OH. Also, I just love you and hope
that you have an amazingly fantastic week. I really liked the scripture this
week in 1 Nephi 17:13. It really made me think how He is that light for us, we
should just follow it.

P.s. There are 42 tribes in Kenya, and they all have sub-tribes.
FYI!
