Oops.  Sorry this is so late.  I guess I thought I had already put this weeks letters up.  Well, better late than never.  Here are our letters this week.

Hey i'm doing good. And hows the williams clan doing?

Hope you guys aren't freezing because for me i'm melting right now, quite literal in fact. but please don't be jealous of my really definite farmers tan. Wind what wind over here if your in the city there is nothing but if your right on the ocean beach you get alittle bit of a ocean breeze but other than that nothing.

Hey that sounds like a lot of fun hope work doesn't kill you but remember patience is a virtue and hard work pays of right...

Please don't tell me about the Olympics at the start of my mission i got curious and went and looked it up, thinking it wouldn't be happening until 2015 oh no it has to happen this year i wasn't the same after that. but it is ok though i looked at when the next elections would be and it would be happen right when i get home. Yipee. Got conservatives!! or as dad says (GO HARPER GO!!) but other than that i am already seeing the blessings when i return home in another two years. Hockey starts along with, Football, and basketball, it is fall so it isn't quite cold yet and all of the good holidays are in that area oh it will be wonderful.

I don't know about that. My kiswahili isn't up to par and realistically all they  would think he is here she is there lets change his mind...

Ya we haven't got packages yet, but the ap's flatt is starting to get full of packages so they are tying to decided what to do. Maybe they should send them to use and have us pay them back. who knows that probably would be the best idea.

but oh well hope you have a good week and a fun rest of the day. Good luck at work

thanks again, love you

Carson

Ha ha using my old "hard work pays off" line.  I'm not sure what the

pay off is right now.

What are you talking about when you were saying your kiswahili isn't

up to par?  I can't remember what I was asking you about.

OK...I'm getting kind of tired that they haven't figured out the whole

packages thing. 

Well, I'm still at work so I'm just gonna give report and then "fly" home!!!   Talk to you later!

Love you ....mom

telling those females that i have a girlfriend.

Pres doesn't care all he would say it is up to the ap's but right now they have to do something because they are up to their noses in packages. Also we will be getting new leadership soon so hopeful something will change or else i'll go up to Niarobi and take my packages be force.

love you too. Talk to you soon

Sounds good.  Hey I'm home now.  

Cool so how was the drive to crazy speed demon.

I'm not a crazy speed demon!  Did you time me or something?

well there is a time on the computor and judging from the time now and the time you left it took you about 20 min. sooo how fast where you going...

Ummm...I'd rather not talk about my speed.  Thanks.  It's not nice to talk about your mother breaking the law!!!

Hey...Dad says the seahawks won the super bowl.  It was a blow out...43 to 8.  

I was going to ask you if you get to do any sight seeing lately.  I was hoping that you'd get to see some sights while you're over there.

Hey...any pictures for us today?  No...not any with girls in them!  Love to see your cute face!

ya Kaylee and just about everybody has been telling me. So Dad what happened to your peyton manning?

No not this week we really haven't been doing any touristing this last week and i really haven't had the time to be talking pic. pole.

ya and also we have been at the hospital a lot this week so not much going on how bout you guys.

Dad says the whole team fell apart and looked out of place.  He says he had some chicken wings stuck in his mouth the second half and forgot to finish watching the game.

What do you mean you've been at the hospital a lot this week?  Are you ok?  Is Elder O ok?  What happened?

Elder Ojjogolo has been having problems with his head so it been along week.  but overall he is in high spirit. He was in accident before he came on mission so they think he has a damaged nerve of some kind in his head. we don't know exactly but that is what they think it is though.

So does he just get lots of headaches?  Or is he seeing double or vomiting?  Send him our love and let him know we will be thinking of him and he will definitely be in our prayers.  Can we do anything else for him?  Did he have to be admitted overnight or does he just go in and out?

I'm curious about something.  You say you've been to the hospital quite a bit this week.  What are the wait times like over there?  Last night we had people waiting three to four hours to be seen.  It was a mad house.   How long did you have to wait to be seen by a doctor over there?

Serious head aches. Not much i'am afraid the doc want me to restraint him because he won't sit still and rest. The hospitals are very private so there isn't much of a wait. just go in through some tsh around and then you sit in front of a doc and he analysis you and then you go get what he prescribed for you. Max 10-15 min. but mostly it is about 5 min.

You can tell him that your mom's a nurse and the best therapy is to stay in a dark room with no lights, no reading, no music, no tv, no nothing.  Tell him to try that for just one day and then he'll be all ready to go again.  He needs to take care of himself though. 

ok sawa sounds like a plan but i don't know if sitting in a dark room all day with no reading no music or tv will float his boat. but i'll see if that is what he can do.

Fair enough.  All you can do is try.

Any word about that last investigator you were telling me about.  The one whose wife is a member but you've never been able to get in touch with him because he's working.  And then he asked to be baptized.  Any progress there?

not really same pro. he wants to be baptized but because of elder ojjogolo's sickness we haven't been able to meet with that family yet. so we will have to see this next week.

Hey...I need some advice.  There's a new movie out called "The Saratov Approach".  It's an LDS movie that's showing at the movie mill.  But it's about two missionaries who were serving in Russia and then were kidnapped, beaten and held for ransom.  So...my question is...I want to see the movie to support the movie mill for bringing in these shows...but I'm worried that it will just make me worried about you.  You don't think there's any chance of you getting kidnapped do you?

ya i know about that show Janae told me about and it looks really good. if it was me. i would go so... go ahead it is a good show.

Hey, I always forget to ask you.  Where are you right now?  Are you in some kind of internet cafe?  or what kind of place are you at to use the internet?

Yes we are in a internet cafe, basically its alittle concrete building with a bunch of computers after that nothing else.

Did you ever figure out what your address is?  If we knew that you were going to be in one area for a while we would send packages there.  Any news of transfers yet:

we moved from sinza to kinodoni morrocow. probably not the best idea because it would then cost me a bunch to get it from the senior couples just keep sending them to nairobi and hopefully they will come to there senses and bring packages. But this thrusday pres. coming down so crossing figures kabisa.

Thanks for talking with me today.  I always enjoy hearing from you.  Take care and have a great week.  Good luck to Elder O.  Hope you get that package soon!!!  I'm still praying for it to get to you!!!   

Lots of love to you!

BE SAFE!!    

Love Mom!!!

Yup that is the way we would love it.

Thanks you too

Love you lots

Na wewe pia (and you too)

Here's Carson's letter to Ken:

Hey thanks so much for writing this week. Really enjoyed your letter, Oh and not writing to me about said girls everywhere. :)

But i'm starting to think i need a transfer. there is a few crazy girls who keep saying that they want to have my child. Kind of freaking me out a bit.

Plus i need to get out of this city, i'm starting to feel claustrophobic, i need to see fields and COWS. I like the people here but i feel that i'm in a cage and i need to get out. Any advice?  Thank you so much. Really appreciate what you do. I hope i can be as supportive and great as you when i reach you age of life.

Thank you for everything.

Carson

  I think Ashlee writes the BEST letters of all. I get such a kick out of them.  I hope she thinks it will be ok that I share this with everyone.

Good Lucky with that.  Remember that dad still thinks you are 10 so be careful with the Mzee he is getting into a fragile state that nobody want to talk about. But other than that yes i will turn 19 in 3 weeks and 6 days. Yes i'm counting down the days. but you'll be 12 and soon you'll be like me and trying to figure out what to do with your life. But your young now so have fun with your friends but not too much. Love you.
