hey mom

wow it seems you must of been really busy cause i think this is the shortest email you have ever sent haha. 

 

so, i havent had any issues yet but i am now an official alien in the country of kenya. i even have an alien id card. its kinda kool but i look like a terrorist in it! its bad.

 

well this week was nice we had a lot of kool things happen. we have begun to teach a 9 year old girl and her family so hopefully there will be another baptism soon. we had a really good lesson with the guy named paul, the one who has the triple combo and stuff. he has accepted to be baptized so hopefully by the end of the month he and his wife priscilla and his family will be baptized. there is catherine, mellissa, mark and zawadi. We are teaching them with another member family. it was really nice cause he helped us with some of the concerns that they had, but he talked sooo much. we taught them about the gospel of jesus christ. usually we finish the entire lesson in like 30 mins and stuff but this guy talked forever cause we werent able to finish the lesson.

 

saturday was really nice but it also really sucked a lot. we went to the nairobi national park safari walk with the young men for an activity. it was really kool. we saw a hippo, zebra, cape buffalo, a white rhino (which was freakin tight) a couple of lions, a leopard, baboons, crocs, and hyenas. it was really kool. there was a thing for a cheetah but it wasnt there or it was hiding. i really wanted to see it. my favorite was the hyena and the rhino. after the activity we had a snack outside of the park and a bunch of baboons tried to steal our food and stuff. the baboon was huge too and it was walking around us and it touched my back, it was kinda crazy.

 

so now the part that really sucked..... we were going to teach someone who's daughter just died with the neighbors who are members and the ap's called us. my comp elder rama is leaving......... that sucks so bad! and my goal to become an ap vanished into thin air because a guy from my group is becoming the next ap and there has never been aps who have been from the same group. so that sucked and then we had to teach these people right after that phone call. luckily the member guy was the same guy who came with us to teach with us the other day so he talked most of the time and we just bore testimony. but that was my week.

well i hope everything is going well. so next week i will be calling on sunday night from here so probably sunday morning there so i hope you are ready. i think that you should have kurts fam around you so i can talk to them too. also i am going to get 4000/- out of the bank so i can buy credit here so i can talk for a long time haha. well i love you and i will talk to you in 6 days

love reese
