hey mom

 

  im glad that brother kings talk was good. he was awesome. i loved having him in my priest quorum. i hope i can be a good father, but i will for sure do my best when that happens in like 8 years haha. wow you taught a lesson. thats awesome! do you have a new calling or what? the ARP fireside sounded good. we unfortuately do not have that here. i think that it would be great if we could help people to do that cause people here could really use some help with that kind of stuff.

 

  tell jay happy graduation and good job for graduating. im glad he did because graduating from high school is like the easiest thing ever. i hope a good amount of people turn up. tell gracie happy birthday and since aunt tina asked, in the package it would be cool to have some kool aid/lemonade stuff and candy and whatever else. perhaps an american leather colliegate sized football haha. pretty much anything that you think i would like. cause anything from home is amazing. with the weather things are good. i like it because i like working in the cool weather instead of hot. also for my cards im going to need you to tell the bank that i will be going to tanzania like asap. probably tomorrow tho. with money im struggling a little. its kinda tough here because unlike other missions and missionaries, here we have to pay for food, transport, phone bills and other things but in other missions they just have to pay for food.
i will be getting 4000/- out of bank of america tomorrow afternoon so i can get some new shoes because i really need them. i have a hole in each of my shoes. and they get dirt/mud and rocks in them so i will get new shoes that i can have clean socks because i hate washing haha.

  well for me this week went well. we played sports at a place called buruburu. it was really fun. we played both kinds of football. but one thing that sucked is i think that i am losing my ability to play football cause i could not catch a ball to save my life! but hopefully things will get better later. this week we did a lot of contacting. we used a board on the street and just talked to people walking past. it was good and i think it was pretty successful. but the highlight of this week is that............i am leaving kenya. i am being transferred to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania! i will be leaving this friday. and my new companion is from Uganda. im pretty excited to leave nairobi but im kinda sad too. its gonna be weird to be in a different country again hah. but there i will have to learn swahili. the people there dont know any english so everything will be in swahili even the church services. and it is really hot there so im going to sweat my butt off and im not really excited about that. i think i will have fun tho. so that is everything new with me pretty much.

 

 elder sanders is doing well. he is really fun. i was glad that i was able to be in the same zone as him for awhile. elder madubanya is a really kool kid. he is pretty smart. he just came from tanzania so he knows swahili very well so it was kool to be with him. he would talk to people in swahili perfectly. it was pretty amazing. elder smedley will be home on tuesday or wednesday. so hopefully by the end of the week you will have all the pics that i have in your hands. so i hope you get my pics soon and i hope you love them and i hope that you dont ask me for pics very often anymore and i love you haha.

 

 well i love ya lots . have a good week


love maurice
