HI family. How great is it of a day? I hope that you are still doing
great and that you are healthy, happy, and still smiling! It is good to hear
that you are just staying busy. Happy to hear that Dad will be able to get his
extra fishing in this next season! That brings some of that relaxing joy to
life.
Well, here, it is busy! We are just working hard, and are trying to
visit and encourage all of our investigators. We are contacting like crazy, and
we are having lessons like crazy, so it is just CRAZY. I love it! It is nice to
come to know these wonderful members even better here in Sosiani, and it is
good to see old friends. What amazing time we even get to spend with all of our
new and present investigators. Building their faith in our Savior Jesus Christ,
and helping them to realize the truth about all of this is one of the best
things to do in this world. We are going to be meeting someone today, who I
have been present once while teaching. He is one of my favorite investigators,
and am SO excited to be seeing him again today. He has this sincere desire to
learn the gospel, and even takes hours on his own to study the bible, and the
messages that we give him. He is even digging into the Book of Mormon like
there is gold. We are even sharing with a sister that works in the town. Her
name is Doreen and she is powerful. We are still sharing with her the
restoration of the Gospel, and she is SUPER interested. She even underlined and
made notes in the pamphlet! I love these people, and am glad to share with them
what i know is true. Awesome!
Ok, so yesterday I would have written you, but we had a member take
us up to a place called Iten. It is also know as the Home of Champions. Runners
from all around the world come to do high altitude training there, just 30 min.
drive away from where we are staying. We were going to look at this amazing
place there called the Kerio View Point, Which is a beautiful site in the rift
valley. While we were there, we decided to go and take some soda and relax for
a few. We walked through the door, and were about to take our seats when, a
mazungu, white guy walked up and caught our attention. He said, "Hello, I
didn't know that missionaries are here in Kenya". Crazy as it seems this
mans name is Tobias. He is a Mormon too. He is a doctor/runner that is apart of
the German Running Team. It was such a coincidence! Anyhow, we took pics and
e-mails, and now I have a friend from Germany. There are SO many runners there,
but out of all of them, I would have never expected to find someone from The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But alright, I hope that
something here has inspired you in some way, and just hope that you know that I
love you tons! If you don't remember, I will just say I LOVE you VERY
much. Great Week, and keep SMILING!

P.S. Grandma Davis…So sorry I’m late with your birthday greeting! I

seeing you…we will eat cake and celebrate. Stay healthy and smile BIG.
