This last week was interesting.  Wednesday morning we woke up to a flooded flat.  So we cleaned up the mess and put a bucket under the leaking toilet hose, then left for DDM.  When we got back the flat was flooded again, but we picked up a new hose on the way back.  the only problem was the guard wouldn't turn off the water for us.  so we waited for the plumber to come so we could get the problem fixed.  Thursday morning we woke up to no water at all.  which wasn't good cuz both mutadhuba and i like to shower everyday, you can call it an obsession if you'd like :)  Apart from all the problems we had, the baptism we had on saturday was the best i've had on mission so far.  It was awesome, a 12 year old girl was baptized by her father.  We had support there from a few of the auxillaries and a couple investigators came as well.   It was just a good day!  We were also able so extend a baptismal date for next month to one of our investigators who is progressing quickly.  Sunday was interesting as well.  they closed the road that goes from Bomas to Nairobi.  So we had to walk to church and we were almost late.  a few others were stopped completely from coming so the chapel wasn't as full as it could have been.  Amazingly enough we still had 3 investigators come. and the chapel was almost full by the end of the meeting.  they canceled the sunday school and priesthood meetings so instead of going home early we watched the priesthood session of conference until the power went out during Pres. Eyring's talk.  Tonight we get our transfer news, but because of a brother of mine, i know that my whole district is staying the same.  Elder Mutadhuba and i will continue to work together for at least one more transfer.  I'm happy that i'm staying here for another transfer.  so i attached a bunch of pics from both the Mamba Village and also a bridge Elder Mutadhuba and i found in our area.  The bridge led to a hotel/resort thing for tourists.  but it also works great for missionaries who want to take a few photos :)  well thats all i have to say for this week, so i hope you all have a great week. 
Love ya,
