Update



i would definitely have to agree that it has gone by fast like last week blew by. i think its because a friend of mine, from the mtc, serves with me in my area so we get to have a party like every night. its so much fun. on my last p day it was awesome cause there was a kfc that was at a mall close to where we went to play sports. it was so good i got like 5 pieces of chicken and an oreo milkshake it was so good! this p day i got to go bowling, it was fun! i miss the good old US candy a lot like my Reeses cause i ate my last one this week it was good and bad but mostly bad cause i wanted to eat more ha.
ya i had to just jump in it! its crazy cause i never thought i would be doing this. every one here speaks like 15 different languages. i can only say like the basic greetings like hello too haha. on thursday it sucked cause everyone i talked to or tried to talk to, would say," sorry your english is too deep" and i would just have to sit there shake my head yes. and we had to give possibly the slowest lesson to some one cause they couldnt even understand my comp who speaks with a pretty good accent. it was terrible and it took like and hour and a half to teach parts of the first lesson. it is definitely a culture shock! this week i taught a guy named john hes a teacher for one of the 800 schools that are here (like really theres a ton of schools and its tiny here) and i asked him to be baptized when he comes to know that those things were true. and he said yes. ive met so many people here that love the gospel so much i never thought that i would ever see people that love it so much. anyways the one thing that was crazy this week was the guy who i gave the blessing about him being worthy to get blessings, committted adultery and kicked his wife out and made the girl get an abortion so im pretty sure he is getting ex'ed. it made me sad be cause i wanted him to live up to it so badly! Athi River is crazy. theres a lot of cute little kids hah.i want to just pick them up and hold them ha. they call my comp a 'Mazungu' or white/British person and then they see me and im not that dark so they start calling me it too after a couple of minutes. they also ask how are you and its freakin cute youd love it. the fruit here is so dang good i love it. they are so fresh cause people grow them and stuff. i think that i will be most likely riding another piku piku sooner or later so i will most definitely send you a pic hah. my meetinghouse looks like a small house except theres one room that can fit like 100 people if you smash them in there hah. anyways i had my first stake conference sunday and it was crazy cause it was mostly black people with a dozen or so white people which reminded me about my ward cause it was totally opposite which was way funny hah.
