Elder Casey Larsen: 02.15.10

Hi everybody, so this week was pretty fun. On friday we built a mud house. its harder than you think to build a mud house. have you ever thought about making that much mud, and mud is heavy! but we had a good time and i slept really good that night. :) I'm attaching a few pics of the house construction. when we first got there there was this team of four oxen hooked up to a wagon hauling a load of water for the mud. i wasn't quick enough to get a picture of them but it was cool to see. they reminded me of Kim's horses. only there wasn't any harnesses or reins. then they left so we started getting water with the Watt's truck. there is a pic of me carrying water on my head. haha the bucket i'm carrying is a little smaller than the ones the women were carrying, haha and mine isn't full. they were walking up that hill with full buckets and they didn't use their hands to balance it. they got some crazy balance. Well i hope all of you had a great valentines day. Mine was awesome, i didn't do anything different, and i didn't spend a bunch of money on anyone. :) but i did wrap up that elephant that i have. i'm gonna send it and some other stuff as soon as i get a few letters written for all yall. i have this box, but the elephant is a little to big for it. haha i hope it doesn't break. if it does then dad will have to do a little repair work with the wood glue. i think its gonna cost me about 3000 ksh so i'll be breaking the bank sometime soon. Next week will be Mission Tour in Nairobi! Its should be a good time. We'll be traveling to Nairobi on Tuesday, Wednesday will be the conference and then Thursday we come back. and then the week after that is transfer week. I'm excited for Brandon! Brazil will be pretty good, but i don't think it will be quite like Africa. :) It'll be a great day when there are four "Elder Larsen's" in the mission field!
