habari enu?  well this last monday night we got our transfer news.  Elder Molotsi and I are still together.  Elder Overson went to Chulyu (Antite wan de), Elder Ngapesare went to Kisumu.  Two brand new elders joined our little district.  Elder Kunz from Sandy, UT is now with Elder Chikenge, and Elder Hawke from British Columbia, Canada, is with Elder Chimimba. so we had a fun little service project this last saturday.  President Ndung'u fixed his roof a little bit.  he ended up increasing the pitch of it, so there was a gap between the wall and the tin.  so all of us got together to fill in the gaps with mud.  it was pretty cool.  we showed up just as the mud was almost ready to put in the house.  they dug a little pit and mix the dirt and water with your feet.  now i got a bunch of little cuts on my feet.  but once the mud is mixed you put it in the wheel borrow and take it in the house and start filling in the gap.  haha being the adolesants that we are.... we ended up having a mud fight in the house. :)  haha it was great.  no worries though, mama didn't care.  and no i didn't start it... i finished it :)  so i gotta admit, i'm pretty excited for you guys that drew tags for the turkey hunt.  make sure you take pics and send them to me.  and maybe a letter or two?  its been awhile since i got a letter.  We were suppose to have zone conference on friday, but it got canceled.  President Taylor is still going to come up and do interviews.  i think that we will have mission tour this transfer instead of next, i'm still not sure but i'll probably find out this week. hopefully President Taylor will bring all the mail up with him.   

Brandon!!!!   i'm excited for ya, let me know where your going when you get your call!!!   i can't wait to hear!!   haha my guess is Europe, let me know if i get close :) 

Oh i think Matt's birthday is this week,  Happy Birthday Matt.  someone please tell him for me, thanks.   

Well love ya, have a great week!!

Habari zenu? Well this week was pretty fun. we had baptisms on saturday. we planned on three but only two were baptized. tuesday i went on exchanges with Elder Chikenge. we had a lot of fun together, he's from Zimbabwe. i bought a bull whip, my shoulder is kinda sore from cracking it. i just hope somebody doesn't call the police cuz they think we're shooting a gun. that could be a problem. so we find out transfer news tonight. i think i'll be staying in kitale with Elder Molotsi, but i'll find out in a little bit. Elder and Sister Watt have gone to Johannesburg, SA with a group to the temple. i'm a little jealous that i can't go. i hope all of you people that are reading this will not take the closeness of the temple for granted. haha we tried to convince them to let us hide in their bags... it didn't work. well i must say if there are three turkey tags in the family, then i'm pretty excited for you guys. that was one of my favorite hunts. i hope everybody fills their tag. take pics and send em my way! So Whitney tells me that all yall want a story, well sorry i'm at a loss of words right now. nothing is really coming to mind. i have a lot of little experiences but nothing really big, funny, or entertaining. just kinda lessons learned on my part. pole sana. hope you guys have a wonderful week! love ya!

Well its just been another week over here in Africa.  we ended up pushing our baptisms back to this satuday, there will be three of em.  their all from the Sikhendu Branch. next week is transfer week, so if i get moved I'll try and let ya know. so church was a little interesting yesterday, Priesthood started about 30 min late. the only people in the room was me, Elder Molotsi, President Kandawala, his counselor Paul, and the elders quorum president Cosmos.  we ended up having a P.E.C. meeting instead of priesthood and sunday school.  that branch has a few shida's that need to get worked out.  i don't remember if i told you this last week but haha we had a preacher tell me and molotsi that we were going to hell.  it was a funny conversation.  we ended up walking away, turning the corner and then we both busted up with laughter. other than that its been pretty quiet this week. wait,  i made a pizza, that was freakin good!

Happy New Year everybody!! 

So this week was pretty good.  thursday we took a matatu down to Eldoret and spent the night with our zone leaders.  that evening all of the zone went to the chuch house and played ping-pong and just had a good time.  Elder Casey was playing the piano and we were all singing, it was pretty fun.  Once the AP's carted all the sisters back to their flats', they picked us up in town and took us to the Zone Leaders flat.  haha there were 10 of us in one flat and 8 of us in the Haruma elder's flat. the floor was covered in elders, but it was fun.  Zone Conferance was friday morning.  i realized that all of you were celebrating at the same time i was taking notes and listening to my mission president.  but the conferance was good. Elder and Sister Fox bought a wheel of cheese, they sold 1/4 of it to us.  haha its the best cheese i've had in a long time.  to bad its almost gone. but no worries our next zone conferance is in 3 weeks.  that cheese is great, i made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today.... it was heavenly.
