Elder Casey Larsen: 03.08.10

Well this last week was interesting. We got transfer news last monday evening. later that night the AP's called and told me i need to be on a bus tuesday morning. so i only had about 2 hours to pack. its a good thing that all of my stuff fits in a suitcase and a duffle bag. i got to my new area about 6 am wednesday morning. i tried to convince the AP's that i needed to sleep till 6:30, but they wouldn't let me. so we left their flat about 5 am. so i'm the new District Leader in this district, and the sisters thought that we needed to have District Development Meeting Wednesday morning. I was feakin tired from the lack of sleep but it's a good thing that we had it, cuz we ended up planning and putting together a big fireside yesterday for the members in the Langata Branch. I would say that it was a success, we got the members excited about sharing the gospel. The area that i'm now in is called Rongai, its part of the Langata Branch. this branch was the first branch to be established in all of East Africa.....and its still a branch. So there is plenty of work to be done. but the meeting house is nice and cozy, its a nice change from the rented buildings up in the Kitale area. My companion's name is Elder Kikwaku, he's from Uganda. he's been here for 3 months now and he's still learning to speak english, so thats a challenge. the flat that i'm now in is pretty nice. but there isn't a oven or a microwave like the last flat i was in. we just have a small two burner stove. I'll try and take a few pics for you guys to see of the new place. its basically in a small apartment complex, second floor, two bedroom, one toilet, one shower, kitchen, and sitting room. Well i can't think of anything else to tell you about the area so if ya got questions then let me know. i love all of you, have a great week.
