Yes the Knechts have finished their mission and are going home so the mickelsons are coming to replace them. We meet them last day and the seem really nice. Ya for sure the knechts where very nice.

Ya there is only one elder Ojjogolo. His birthday is the 28

Hey ya happy pasaka. No easter over here just celebrate Jesus

Muslims are happy about that for sure.

hey thank you soo much hope you have a good week too.

Hi Carson.   What luck!  I'm sitting here on my break and just

happened to look at my email...and there you were!!!   So excited to

hear from you.

Hey ya so how is it going.

So with the flooding did you have any problems getting water to drink?

Ojjogolo's birthday is the 28 of what...April?

Glad to hear you have received all the packages so far.  Any requests?

 Did you read about the hamburger helper thing?  Do you want me to

send the seasonings and the pasta or just the seasonings and you can

buy your own pasta?

That's probably a good thing to just celebrate the Jesus part of

Easter.  Here it is all about the bunny.

Any good missionary stories for me tonight?

Amna shida Hakuna Matata

Ndyio Yes

no your good but for sure if ican think of anything i will ask.

Not really this last week has been hard with all of this rain. but it has been good none the less.

Hey what ever happened to that boy that was chained up because of the

marijuana thing? You said his brother got baptized...what about the

chained up kid?

What does amna shida mean...I know hakuna matata means no worries.

and ndyio?

Do you want me to send pasta or not?

What kind of sickness did you have last week?  How are you now?  How's Elder O ?

still chained to the wall but is improving

No Problems. No your good i have enough right now.

we don't know but we are all good.

Wow...you're kinda chatty this morning.  Everything ok?  I'm not used

to these SUPER short replies.

Any plans for today?  Anything exciting going on?

Is that chained boy EVER going to get released?  How can he still be

chained to the wall after all this time?

Well that is why i'm trying to be short. I'm trying to send photos and write to people at the same time and we have to leave in the next 30 min. so ya.

Today we are going to dinner with the knechts and then i'm going to Have exchanges. We don't know when we went to meet them he was let out but he is improving and has a job interview on tuesday so hopefully.

Sorry you have to leave so quickly.  I just love hearing from you is

all.  Thanks for the pictures.  I really like them.  Hope I'm not

being a bother.  Just excited is all!  Love ya!

Ya for sure Love you too,

 Awesome picture!   Who are you teaching here?  Where was this taken?  Is it in Dar or from one of the other places you've been lately?

Tanga.

Is this the group of people that your one investigator had been

teaching?  That's pretty exciting that you have that many people

interested in the gospel because of one person.  Awesome

Yes that is them

Aww...who is this kid?  And what is he doing?

Eh that kid was stealing pamphlets one of my favorites actually.

Very cute!  Is Tanga just along the coast and north of Dar?  Looks

beautiful and green there!

and very isolated from the world.

Carson...can I just say how much I enjoy your companion.  His smile is

infectious!  Whenever I see him smile...I start smiling.  It's

awesome.  Are you gonna send me a picture of you...cause that's the

smile I REALLY love to see.  These are awesome though.  I love them.

Thanks

Ok

Well Carson...It was great to hear from you.  Hope you have a great

week coming up.  Any big plans?  Besides meeting the Michelsons and

going on exchanges.?  Work is very busy tonight.  We sent a poor

little 3 year old to Calgary for surgery because she was attacked by a

wild farm cat.  It was awful.  And we just now sent up a woman to the

OR with a huge postpartum bleed.  So it's just settling down now.

Hope things go well for you and it starts to dry out soon.  Love ya

lots!!!

No not really just recoverying from president blasting us about money. Wow that is crazy. Thanks love you too.

You're still recovering from that?  It must have been a doozy.  I

all work out.  Love ya tons.  Have a great day today.
