hey mom,

are you sure that everyone in utah went to brigham city to go to the temple? cause i think that would be a lot of people in brigham city and like way too much for the town to hold hah.. well so with people coming to church its still tough because even getting members to come is tough. that one guy who was supposed to be baptized left all of a sudden and we havent seen him since, which really sucks. we cant even get a hold of him. anyways, thats missionary work for ya. my comp is really good. i think i will be learning a good amount of swahili now hopefully hah. but i would like to finish my misison in a place called westlands, in nairobi. and no other americans are in the zone besides us but there are some kool people now. i miss kenya but i like TZ. the food is better here. but in kenya life is cheaper.

anyways this week was nice. i was on exchanges for a few days with a guy named elder mhkungo from south africa. he is a really kool guy!
we had a lesson with people who only spoke swahili and he knows less swahili than me! but they were ok lessons, but not the best. i think that they have kinda showed me how my swahili is. i think that it is getting much better but i still need to work on it more. other than that i havent really been doing much other than the same stuff everyday. hah. sorry theres not very much.

 

 well for my birthday i didnt really do very much. i had a nice cheeseburger. it was really good. and i looked for some shoes but they were a little too much for me. they were selling them for like 70000 which is like $40 and they are worth $42 brand spankin new. they think im a white guy here and they think that all white people have a ton of money so they gave us a bad price. i can definitely say that it is weird to be old now. i dont feel like i am 21 i still feel like im 18 or 19...

well i will be send some pics very soon so i hope you like them. but not today haha. maybe a few weeks hah. well i love you and i hope everything is going well

love reese
