hey mom

well this week has been pretty good. im really sad that i didnt get to do anything with the halls before they left the mission. i really loved them. and she made banana cake which is freakin genius! man..... 9 am church! that sucks. thats like the worst time. i like going at 11. but i think that it will be easy for me to adjust to. well im glad that people said that they were going to write me. that will be nice i guess. i mean i havent had a letter for like 2 months. so it would be pretty kool.

anyways, this week was pretty good. on wednesday we had this new thing called ZTM or zone training meeting. so my comp and i trained and stuff. we went to teach one of our investigators but he wasnt there so we met with his wife. so we talked to her and we found out that they arent married but have kids and live together but she really wants to get married like right now but he doesnt really want to. so i think we might be having a wedding. haha. anyways that night my comp made chili because the couple here gave us like a kg or like 1.5 lbs of minced meat or ground beef. it was sooooooo good but it gave me diarrhea or runny stomach as they call it here. then on thursday we went to a Masai wedding. it was pretty kool but we had to wait for forever because the couples wanted to be there early but they are new and dont really know about african time yet. haha it was pretty kool. we had to get up an introduce ourselves in front of a crowd of like 200 people. so i have pretty much gotten over my stage fright, but its a totally different thing when its in a different language. so i pretty much said who i was and where i come from hah. then on friday my comp and i went to this pizza place that was freakin awesome. it was so GOOD! it looked small but it was dang good. i got chicken, beef, ham, cheese and olives ya thats right i said olives for only like 10500 which is like $6.50 i was so happy and after that for dinner we went to the couples and they made cheese burgers so its pretty much been an awesome eating week. then saturday we got transfer news.... pretty much the worst part of the week. im getting a new comp another zimbabwean but he has been in tanzania longer than me and knows more swahili. so i was super mad about it. its just maddening because when you have to struggle with swahili then thats how you learn but if someone is next to you who knows what the people are saying then you dont struggle. so im not happy. but one things that was nice as on sunday. we had 3 people show up at church and the couples washed our clothes with there washing machine so that was kool. first time we've ever had use of a washing machine!

anyways i hope you have a great week love ya.
