hey mom

well this week was pretty good. we taught a good amount of people and we committed someone to be baptized so it was a pretty good week for teaching and stuff like that. on thursday i got to meet with hays before he went home. it was pretty awesome to see him again. hes a way kool guy and we get along like best buds. i was sad to see him go but he gave me his small quad so i was happy about that.  on saturday was my big day. 6 MONTHS BABY!! i have been in africa for six months that is nuts! its pretty crazy too. it feels like this last 3 months has flown by.  this week i burned a tie.... every 6 months as a missionary you burn something. at 6 months a tie, 12 months a shirt, 18 months a pair of pants and 24 months a suit. ha.

we also went to a members house and i learned how to make a thing called pilou (sounds like pillow but at the end you say oww) it was dang good!

then i found out where my next area will be. i will be going to...........................................................RONGAI!!! its a suburb of nairobi so ill still be in the city for at least 3 months hopefully hah. im a city boy so im kinda scared to go to the bush haha. but my new companion is from madagascar.  his name is Ramananaviorson and good luck trying to say it cause i cant and im not going to until he tells me what how to haha. im pretty excited. it looks like i will be a zone leader there also so im pretty excited about that as well.

just to let you know if some body had a gun of course i would give them what they wanted but if they didnt then i would be doing some damage ha. yes in that picture i was wearing a tie that kellie got me from china, like it was bought in china not just made there ha. elder hall is like 6' 7" so hes pretty dang big. and yes she made us a banana cake and it was freakin amazing! the best cake i have had in my life.

well im glad that you got the letters or i guess i should say the empty letters. i sent you and jay kenyan keychains and i said that you guys could trade them if you wanted to. i also sent bracelets that said mom, jay and sami on them with pics of jesus and stuff in them and i guess someone stole them which really makes me mad. i guess ill try to send some more again after i find out how to make them so i can spend less to get them made. ugh i cant believe that someone would steal that stuff! i sent both of them the same way at the exact time like a month ago. anyways i hope that you can find some way to send that music because i am loving it and i appreciate it alot.

 thats kool that lucianne gave you some stuff to send me. i hope that it is awesome! because my aspect on brazilian food is that it is amazing cause of rodizio grill so im sure that it will be good. im sure that primary was fun for you i can remember when you played the piano when me and jay were there which is like 100 years ago ha.

im excited for jay to be going to dixie and i hear that taylor (our cousin) might be going there too. i think it would be kool to have like the whole fam there. so where did the other guys get scholarships to?

well i hope that you guys have a good week and enjoy the pics. i love you guys and i miss you

love reese
