hey mom 

well i think im going to keep this email really short because any questions about anything will be answered and anything you want to know i can tell you about next week in person. so ya i dont feel like typing a long email hah.

but things are doing good! i am dying strong! the baptism of brother joseph is still on and good but I dont know if nancy will be baptized, but we will see. she didnt come to church this week. i even told her that i would pay for her transport, so we have to check on her this week. and by the way joseph owns the school. we interveiw him kesho, so it will be good. but i havent met the new mission president. i will only meet him next week so i dont expect to know him very much. but that's cool that there are sister missionaries in our ward.

 

well love ya! have a good one

hey mom

 

our week was good....but elder balls is gone.... he got an emergency transfer because some missionary was an idiot and now we have a kid named bukenya from uganda. so im not really happy about it. and now that elder balls is gone things are going to get hard cause i really dont know his area very well. but i guess we will see what happens with this new guy. ya my other comp, elder rako is kool, he is a really good guy. 

well this week was good when balls was here. we went to teach a few good lessons. we have had a member named beatrice help us with a few of our lessons so they have been really good lately. we are teaching a younger girl in high school and she is responding really well. we met with nancy and had a good lesson with her. she will be baptized on the 20th so right before i come home. we will actually have two people baptized. the other one is named joseph and he is super powerful. he has already read the book of mormon and is reading it again the second time and he is already in mosiah. he has been investigating for about two months! crazy right. we walk to his house which is like 20 minutes out of town and teach him. he is really good. and he understands everything that we teach him. its super sweet.

 

anyways we are working really hard. but things are good. im enjoying it a lot. 

 

well i hope you are having a good week. love ya

hey mom

well zone conference was nice. they got pizza for lunch because of the man who wrote this email hah. but it was about putting on the full armor of God. so that was pretty nice. we got coins from the mission president which had like the full armor on it. thats was pretty kool. well the new mission president will be pres. hicken or something like that. he was a police chief in cali for like 30 years or something. so i think he will be strict which will be good for this mission ha.

 

well nakuru is doing really well. they gave us all of nakuru instead of two areas so we have a lot of work which im happy about because i would like to die working hard. well nancy is progressing again so thats good but paul hasnt come yet so hes pretty much lied to us for awhile now. well we have a few baptisms set for my last saturday on mission so im pretty happy about that. my other people i have baptized, most of them are doing really well but some arent but i communicate with some of them every now and then.  but my other comp, elder rako for short is alright. he is a little quiet but he is good. ya elder rama was awesome. easily my favorite comp in my entire mission. wow i didnt know that pococks mom died. ya i know he is still here but that would be super hard. i dont think i could stay. well i havent gotten your package yet but i think i will get it soon.... hopefully hah.

we have had a bunch of lessons this week since we have to combine both the areas here. i think its been the most busy that i have ever been on my entire mission. anyways, we have a guy we are teaching who owns a college so he is kinda big people but he is super humble and stuff. he is going to be baptized on the 20th and hopefully his family too. he is super sweet. and he has to come from a pretty far place. i think that he will be a branch president one day ha. but then we have nancy who has had a terrible life but she is going to be baptized the same day and she even payed her tithing this week which was sweet. then we have susan who was taught by people in eldoret. so she is good and then we have a few other people  so this should be a good few weeks. but we have been really broke this week just cause it is the end of the month but we just got money again so i can now afford food hah.

well thats it pretty much for me. but i love you guys and i hope you are having a good week.

love elder maxwell
