Well my time in Arusha has hit the end, wednesday morning i'm heading to Nairobi and Thursday i should be in Kisumu.  yippeeee i'm gonna get some fresh fish!!!  I'm going to be serving with a white guy for a change, not sure how that'll be but i'm looking forward to it.  His name is Elder Herr and I'm not sure where he's from exactly.  This last week was just fantasticly spiritual.  We had three baptisms.  Nahum asked me to baptize and confirm him.  Elder Ndhlovu baptized and confirmed Neema, and Brother Chinunda baptized and i confirmed Amos Kibanda.  It's been such a joy to watch these people progress in the gospel and make it to the waters of baptism.  There has been struggles all along the way, but they all pressed forward with His help.  This last week we've been doing our best to offer any kind of service available.  we were able to cut down a tree with an axe for Japhet, Elder Ndhlovu and I had it down in about ten minutes but I was really disappointed with my soft hands.  A little bit of manual labor killed my hands and gave me blisters.  It kinda made me feel like a little girl.  So i don't know about you guys, but i'm excited for these babies to get there.  whit asked me to guess how much he'll weigh, so i'm thinkin he's gonna be about 5lbs, 11 oz.  let me know how close i get, i'm not to good with babies but who knows, maybe i'll get close...... is there a prize for the winner? haha jk  today we went to the other guys' house and had lunch.  we all brought 1/2 kg ( 1 lb ) of meat each and cooked it over charcoal. it was good.  well not sure what else to say so i better get moving, we still have to hit the store before our Pday ends and i have to pack and get all my stuff organized.  this whole moving around and living out of a suit case is no fun at all.  Well take care and have a good week!  I love you all.
Love
Elder Larsen
