hey mom

first of all sorry about emailing late. we went to a historical site and beach but it was really far away so we got back at 8 and the internet was down. also i wont be able to send any pics today either but hopefully next week. well for the beaches they are really nice. very kool. its weird though to be by the beach and there not be a lot of traffic and stuff. i really like it. we didnt see any camels on the beach yet but if they are there i will ride it for sure. tell grandma we are allowed to go into the water but not above our knees haha. so not very far haha. but its nice. i hope you told grandma happy birthday for me. i think you should send me the dates for everyones birthday so that i can send them an email saying happy birthday at least.

this week was nice. on monday everyone in the zone or all the missionaries in dar came to our house to make tacos. it was really fun and everyone enjoyed themselves. i like making tacos for the people who have never tried them because then they get to see what its like to try different food. the people that like it i call "converts" haha and i always get a couple everytime. then other than that nothing really exciting happened. i mean we worked and stuff. we have swahili class but we learn so slow. so it will take a long time for me to understand all the grammar for swahili. its hard cause i dont really talk to very many people during the day because they cant really understand me and my comp is a man of very little words so i can say im bored a lot hah. but we did have a couple of dinner appointments this week. it has been the first time to have one here in tanzania. but hopefully there will be more soon. tracting here is hard because the people with houses here have house girls (like maids) that answer the door so we are not able to teach the family very much.

 

also if you are sending a package anytime soon, i would kindly request lemon heads and any other type of them and trail mix. i really love that stuff. well thats pretty much it for me so i love you guys and i hope you are having a good one. and also tell sami i love her and give her a hug for me!!

love reese
