Thanksgiving is this week huh? wow. i love thanksgiving. well i guess it would be more appropriate if you could say that i love food
so i love thanksgiving hah. but i want to hear about what you eat. but i think that i will go to KFC on wednesday for thanksgiving. i
think thats a bomb idea ha. chicken and turkey is pretty much the same thing sindo (right in swahili)?

talking to people is getting easier now i think that i am getting some kind of accent i guess. most people speak in english and swahili
and their mother tongue (the language that their tribe speaks and theres 47tribes in kenya). im learning a bunch so hopefully ill be
able to speak sheng or a mix of english and swahili.

this week was pretty good. on monday we got our phone stolen. we were playing basketball and we left it on a bench at some church
we played at by our flat and when we got done it wasnt there and we asked all the guys playing with us and they said no but a guy
that was there that had left early has been known to steal things. so they took us to his house but he wasnt there so they took us to
where he hangs out and we found him and these guys grabbed him and found our phone and then they took him to the police station
and he went to jail so that was pretty nuts. so people are pretty nice here too and i learned a pretty good lesson too. dont steal. haha.

tuesday we had a zone conference. it was so awesome to meet all the missionaries in my area and stuff. we had to staythat night there
cause on wed i had to get fingerprinted so i could get my working permit so i dont get kicked out of the country.

on saturday i had my FIRST BAPTISM!!!!!! YAY!!! his name is martin. hes a really kool guy. he was introduced to the gospel by his friend
who went on his mission. so he was a good example to him so he was interested. and now hes baptized and he wants to go on a mission.
so it will be pretty kool if he goes by the time i leave that would be awesome. ill send some pictures of it. i was able to confirm him and
hays baptized him.

oh and to answer your questions, we used ground beef or as its called here minced beef. i didnt really care if i got sick from it cause it tasted
so good haha. but ya im feeling a lot better i just had diarrhea and a shida(problem) with my stomach. well im glad thatsammy is learning to
be competitive maybe she can be a soccer or volleyball player. and im glad that you guys were able to give service to people at opportunity village.
i hope that it was fun. Also, i got my Christmas package last week!! the one with reeses, starbursts, yellow rice, bandanas, and stuff hah so
im just going to call it my Thanksgiving package so you can send me another package and it will get here by christmas and i can call it my real
christmas package and maybe you can include just a hundred taco, guacamole and yellow rice seasoning packs and more hard candy and maybe
some sweatpants and wrapped stuff haha. but do you think you can start sending me some christmas music stuff too with all the other music also?

wow. jays senior season is over man even for me it went quick. its too bad that he didnt play very much. when i played them it was the
hardest i have ever played my entire life and im glad that my dad was able to be there. but i dont know what that coach is talking about with jay
being the best punter hes coached. i bet you i could out punt jay right now when i havent even touched a football in like 4 months. he is
terrible. i mean he good but no where even close to me hahhahhope that you guys have a good week. love ya guys.
