hey mom 

 

well this week was a pretty good week. on tuesday we had exchanges. i was in langata with elder kigongo (che-gongo). he is a new missionary from uganda. he is pretty funny. i did take out some money fthat day and all four of us met up at kfc which was really nice. i payed for a little more than half of my comps meal there cause i thought it would be messed up if i ate bomb american food in front of him. it was so freakin good too. the only bad thing......that night i got sick and threw up. luckily most of the chicken and stuff was already gone but not all of it. it sucked super bad cause i really didnt want to throw up but it felt so much better after i did. and idk if those new pills you sent me work cause i also had diarrhea. nice.

 

then on friday elder rama and i bought the gummi boots cause we have lake victoria on our street. before we bought the boots we were having to pay pikipiki guys to take us on like a one minute ride across it! so first we bought flip flops so we could walk through it but then we realized that the water is also the sewage system so we bought the boots. they are actually pretty kool cause you can feel the mud and the water on your feet but they fit the best. its kool though,  we wear them around during the day too cause there is mud and stuff every where. hopefully this week i can find a new pair of shoes cause my shoes have a hole in each foot. im going to try and find a pair of ecko shoes cause i hear they are super nice, light and they have like a sports shoes sole. so maybe i can find some, but i dont have my hopes up ha. i think that next week elder sanders, elder sarlo and i and maybe some other people will be going to carnivore if plans work out, which could or could not happen.

 

so we taught this guy named paul who has the triple combo and it was an awesome lesson. his first question was about temples and chapels and what is the difference. then he asked us about the book of abraham and if it is the same one from the bible. i think it might be my first and last time that someone asks us about the book of abraham in our first lesson. it was powerful though! he told us that he used to be a church builder. he would go to different places and help people establish churches there. he would lead the congregations and stuff but he said that he is willing to leave that all behind and be baptized into the truth. i felt the spirit so strong it was awesome. then later we taught this guy named nicholas or aballa about the plan of salvation. this lesson was definitely not the same as the other cause this guy fought every point that we talked about even though we showed him proof from the bible and stuff. i was getting so frustrated that i wanted to punch him and tell him to listen cause this is the truth... but not so christ like. we will be teaching him again this week so hopefully he will be more accepting. but that was my week in a nutshell.

 

well i hope that everything is going well. i hope that you liked the pictures that i have sent cause i sent a ton so you would get off my butt haha jk. im glad that dontre is getting baptized. im really surprised. it will be a good thing that he will be in a ward where there is black people cause usually theres none haha. oh and if you send a package do you think you can send me pics of the fam and pics of me in pads and stuff and also will you send me a copy of my highlight tape and my game film from high school cause i want to show some members here what it is like. cause they think that rugby is more violent and i have to prove them wrong haha.  well i love you a lot and sorry for sending this late.

love reese
