hey mom

this week was a pretty good one. i'm having a blast here! we had a baptism on saturday. his name is eric. i baptized him and it was a really good baptismal service. there was a good amount of people or members there to support him. i also got to put some use to the white tie that i bought! ha. hopefully we will be able to get the wife baptized too. the only reason she wasnt there was because she went up country (the place where their family is) giving birth to their first child! so hopefully she will be the next baptism for me ha.  on wednesday i met up with elder will lewis. me and him went to high school together at olympus. he just got here to kenya so it was way kool to see him. it was funny because when i saw him he yelled, "Moe!". it was kinda weird to hear that from him especially since i havent been called that in like 7 months haha. it was kinda kool to meet someone who knew me before i was a missionary. we went around at this park called uhuru (freedom) park and i taught him how to contact people and talk with them about who we are and what we do. it was kool because him and some of the other missionaries were like, wow dude your good at this. it was kinda kool to see how much ive grown to being a missionary cause i used to be exactly like that when i got here haha. that park is also where i took that picture of me on top of the fountain.

 

mom the fruit here is freakin good. like the bananas here are like 100 times better than the ones at home. its weird too cause they are always bruised but they are still good inside and they are freakin bomb! but the corn is not sweet at all like at home.

 

yes i have received grandma stines package of shoes. please let her know that i got them and that i say thank you very much!! i havent yet gotten grandma jo's package but as soon as i get it i will let you know. also i got dave and tiffani's package and make sure to tell them thank you so much and i loved the reeses!! kellie said that she sent one but it hasnt gotten here yet either. well i had a missionary who was going home send kellie just something small. but i havent sent any packages from here yet besides letters (wink, wink).

 

yes my next transfer will be around valentines and yes i might get sent to the bush and yes sending me another supply of reeses and other treats would be a genius idea.

 

yes i can take those pictures for you of the cyber we go to this week i guess..... we usually go to the same one unless its closed and stuff. there are usually just kenyans here but sometimes there are some muslims/ indians that are here....but the girl that works there is really kool. she doesnt want to talk about the gospel though, i think that one of her relatives is a pastor and she goes to that church. but hopefully one day she will listen to missionaries.  

 

yes last week i got my glasses re sized cause they kept falling off my face when i would look down for a while. so now they fit pretty well. yes i have been working out and been doing some stuff. its so funny because i had no idea what song you were talking about but at the same time i thinkin about it the song came on here hahah. its a pretty good one too i think you should get it ha. i usually get up at 6:30 and go to bed at around 9:30 to 10:30.

 

i guess soon we are having a mission tour. but i have no idea what it is but ill let you know what it is when it happens haha. i saw smedley when he broke his leg but i havent seen him of late. and no i havent gotten any recipes from people but i did get milee's christmas card. tell her thank you and i hope she has a great new years!

well i hope you guys have a good week and i love you guys a ton!

love reese

ps     my dad is keeping me posted on the broncos to let me know when they go to the super bowl! haha
