hey mom

it has rained every single day this week. it sucks cause it gets really muddy and wet and stuff its bad but it usually one rains during the night which is nice cause i dont like to be rained on and it stays cool during the day... usually.

well we have found a few good investigators this week. we will be teaching a guy named paul and his family. he is an awesome investigator. he has read the entire book of mormon. he met the stake president and he gave him the triple combo so he has almost read through that and he has studied the history of the church and all that. he came to church this week which was awesome. he is a really smart guys and we have never even taught him yet. he has been given all this stuff by members which is awesome. this week we will be teaching him and im way excited! we have this guy name nicholas who is a real struggle because he is in love with the bible. i mean its not a bad thing but it sucks because he is always telling us to study the bible cause he thinks its so great. everytime he says that in my head i say something like" the bible is good only for the life of jesus christ but other than that its not that good cause its created so much confusion and crap." but just in my head. not that i dont like the bible, it has just made a lot of problems in the world, and its kinda frustrating. we are beginning to teach some kids who have not been baptized yet and they are like 9 and 10 so they will be baptized really soon. YAY hah.

anyways last monday we played sports, which was nice! we had a good game of soccer but things started to get a little heated cause people were taking things a little too seriously. but it was fun. wednesday i sent my p. blessing to elder hartman and stuff. i got russ and kori's small package and a thick letter from kellie. which was way nice and the package was free since it was so small. thursday morning was super scary...kinda. president Broadbent called and wanted to talk with me i was really scared like no joke when he said he wanted to talk with me my heart dropped into my stomach. idk why but if president calls you in the middle of the transfer its usually cause youre in trouble! so i was a little bit nervous. but he just called to read me an email that elder hartman sent to him for me, so it was all good, a little weird but good ha. 

 

 on saturday all of nairobi stake had a stake sports day. all the wards, branches and missionaries (some of them) came together to play some sports with everyone. it was really fun. we played soccer. we had some racing events and we played some basketball. then we all came together and had a meeting where they gave us all soda and some rolls. dont ask me why they decided to get rolls ha. its was way fun but it ended really sucky because while we were all in the meeting some kids who were not members were outside playing basketball on the outdoor court and i left my basketball that i bought out there so they could play with it and some one stole it. i was freakin mad. who comes to church grounds and steals a basketball? i can tell you some one who wants to be punched in the face by a 6 foot 4, 220 pound black man thats who. anyways church was good. we had like 7 investigators at church and they made up almost like 1/3rd of the people who came. but that was my week pretty much.

well i hope that everyone is doing well. also have jay write me an email like at least once a month i would like to hear what hes up to. and tell everyone hello for me. i love you and i miss you tons.

love reese
