hey mom,

im glad that jay is home. and im glad that sami is having a great time. im really proud that she is reading now, but she should have already been reading like before i left. haha. i got a camera from elder shutt because he bought a new one it is the older version of the nixon coolpix that i had before. transfer news happens on saturday so i will tell you on sunday night. but i will most likely be calling on mothers day at either 9 or 10 pm here so you can do the math for that hah. its like 11 hours difference.

anyways, this week was just there but we did some good stuff. we went to naivasha to do some baptismal interviews. it was fun. we played games and stuff after tracting and then on wednesday we had ddm. we were able to meet with a member and we are going to start teaching his wife and stuff. so hopefully she will accept and stuff but i think she has been really fighting the church for a long time but now that the branch is here i think she will accept the church. also the other guys had a baptism and we pretty much just went to a swimming pool. it was kinda fun. and kinda funny. it was really nice tho. but also we found out that we finally got a building!!!! now finally we can have people come to church from our area. it will be really nice. now we are going to start doing some tracting..... but i dont know if that is a really good thing or what haha. anyways, that was pretty much my week. paul didnt come to church so we are going to have to push his baptismal date to a little bit later and then we will have his baptism it will be good too because there will be a few more people being baptized then too. and today we went to a national park and hiked hell's gate it was sweet!

well love ya have a good week
