Thank you soo much mom for writing sounds like all is well. that sounds like a very busy week for you guys. But if you are having fun the time flies or... Something like that. but ya this week was kindly interesting for us. You know the end of the month money gets really really tight and even half way through we all were out of money so i ll send some pictures but you might not like what you see. Because within or suffering and lack of money we were forced to hunt for are food and survive. lots of fun but no worries we got money today so all is well.

Ah i am going to miss the canada day celebrations dang i have been looking forward to that because all of these funny africans and americans are making fun of me saying Is canada ever going to get independence from England. hmmm do not like it when they say that.

For sure the bathrooms are interesting here in our house we have normal relaxing thrones but i have used those ones basically it is like taking a dump out in the woods squat down do your business and then flush and wake away. Lots of fun.

Tomorrow i am going to party like a rock star just because it is July the 1 i have even some before pic is i have them i'll send them.

Ya but back to mission um this week has been lots of work not to many highlights but on Saturday we had a baptism and sunday he was confirmed very very very nice lots of fun and that guy is powerful for sure, But after that not much these couples are enjoying us though but all is well.

Hope you are around to look at these pic i 'll send.

Thanks again

love

Hi Carson...not sure if you're still there.  You've been writing later than usual lately so I thought I'd sleep in.  So sorry if I missed you.  Luv ya.

Oh my heck...what is that you're eating?

I am still here

heheheh

Um it is a lizard

Do I even want to know what's on your plate?  But the biker jacket looks pretty cool, man!

It is a very delicious but burnt lizard

Really???   What kind of lizard?  Did you actually eat it?   Bleehhhghgh!!!   Did you like it?  What does it taste like?  Why would you want to eat a burnt lizard?  Did you run out of ugali?  Looks like you at least had some Dew to wash it down.  Good choice. 

Did you get your Canada packages from us?  Don't worry about missing the Canada celebrations...it's rainy and cloudy anyway.  And we're not planning on going either so...you're not missing much.

And what was with the barbed wire around the wall where the baptismal font was?  

Any big plans for you today or for the rest of the week?

ya and all the others tried a piece but wouldn't eat anymore and then i crushed it and even last night we were about to eat but everybody lost the desire and we ate something else

it was good the tail hin legs and front shoulders and neck where very nice. almost sweet but just like chicken. No that was water these funny people ran out of it.

no not yet probably not until next zone conference.

Oh the barbed wire is for both to keep people and vicous animals out and crazy people in.

Not really bascially the same as the last week. but right now i have some kind of flu bug thing and i don't like it.

So did you actually have to catch it and cook it or is this at some restaurant or someone else's house.  What else are you eating?

Hey at least with the Bevan's there, you have more Canadians to celebrate with tomorrow.  Even if they are from Leavitt...they are fellow Canadians.  Go sing the anthem with them or something!!!  Eat some poutine!!!

Really...you're sick again?  Maybe you need to eat less lizard and more veggies and fruit!  What do you mean a flu bug thing?  Are you gonna be ok?  Sure love you and hope you're feeling better soon.

Sorry you didn't get the canada day package.  I thought I sent it way early enough that you would have it by now.  Never too sure when you'll get those things.

We caught it are selves and cooked it. ugali rice stuff like that, BUt they don't like to party so we will have to see.

Just the last day i have had a running nose and other aliments that are in the flu category. i ll be fine i have tooken some drugs and should be fine soon. Well the problems is that if you send it to kenya it will never come until ZC which will be next transfer. and ya doesn't matter 

Money must really be tight if you have to resort to that.  We'll send more ASAP!

They might SAY they don't party but once you get them loosened up with a few lines of O Canada...I bet they'll join right in!

You have "tooken" some drugs?  Ha...that's kinda funny.  But I hope you're feeling better soon.  Maybe you're just not used to all the sunshine there.  You need some snow and cold once in a while.  

I know...that's exactly what the problem is!  When is your next ZC or transfer?  I even sent a Canada tie for you to wear...at least I think that's what I sent.  It's been so long now I can't remember what I sent.  I'm still looking for Canada toques for you but it's not quite winter season yet.

Don't worry i'll still celebrate!!!

In another 6 weeks. ya snow i miss so much. here in mwanza it is like home but the hottest day in the summer.

Ok that is awesome awesome totally AWESOME thank you soo much

IT'S A BIRD.....IT'S A PLANE.....NO......IT'S..........CAPTAIN CANADA!!!!!    (hahahahahaha..Carson....I'm dying laughing!!!   You're too crazy!!   So funny.  I love that the fans are set up like that.  Are they blowing on you so your cape flaps in the wind?  Oh my heavens you're too funny!!!)

No problem.  I tried sending some baseball caps too but sounds like you haven't got those yet either.  Urrgghh.  Darn mail...why does it have to take so long?   

Anything else exciting this week?   That's awesome about your baptism and confirmation.  Those must be pretty exciting.  Very proud of you.  Keep up the good work.  

ya after that no not much exciting happening. but all is well... Oh excuse me i just blew my nose. Sorry, Ya all is well

Awwww...I'm so sad you're sick.  I'd send you some homegrown veggies from my garden...oh...but wait....everything DIED!!!  I even tried to pump all that water off but all the plants died.  I was going to try to replant today...but it's raining and the garden is filling up with water again...so what's the point?  Ashlee made some chocolate chip cookies last night...but you probably wouldn't like them.  Sorry.  Any advil cold and sinus left that you can take?

ya that is what i have been taking sorry about the garden and stop talking about food i am hungry

If you're so hungry...you could always go find a lizard!  Ha ha.  Hey...which reminds me...we have been catching mice in the house almost DAILY!!  Gross!  Not sure where they're coming in from but it's making me crazy.  But maybe if you get tired of lizards and move on to mice....well...if you get the taste for them, we will have plenty waiting for you when you get home.   Oooohh yummy stir fried mice, or mice with mushroom sauce or... oh wait...I'm gonna gag.  Gross.

oh ya that would be delicous you are crazy how is everybody doing i only got 3 emails today i was kindly depressed

Oh I'm sorry about the no emails.  Did Dad send you one?  I did my momma nazi thing last night and yelled at everyone to get writing.  That must really suck some days.   But everyone is pretty good. Kaylee has been doing some shifts at the pool and is kind of thinking she's a glorified baby sitter.  But she's doing really well.  We still are having a bit of trouble getting Taylor's sugars to come down...especially the supper one, but we're working on it.  And Ashlee...well...like I said, she's always doing something.  I appreciate that she likes to make cookies but she started at nine thirty last night.   

Gma and Gpa just got back from a trip to see Michael/Lisa and kids.  Rhett and Tate had some tball games they were playing.  But I haven't talked to them since they got back so I'm not sure how it went.  Not too sure who else to update you on.  Haven't really talked to anyone else.

Who were all your emails from anyway?

You ashlee and dad ok no problem everybody does't love me any way i know how it is nobody has time to write

Ohhh...I'm sooooo sorry.  Maybe it feels like that but that's not how we feel.  At least you've got me and Dad and Ashlee though!!!   That must really be a crappy feeling though.  I'm really sorry.  And you probably won't get much next week either with everyone being on Pioneer trek.  Darn it.  I'll see what we can do about them sending letters earlier this week.  But some weeks must be better than this though right.  Or is three usually all the emails you get?

ok no problem i got to go though going to run out of time thanks again love to chat with you

Love Carson



And here is his letter to Ken:

Hey shikamoo baba

That is good to hear that all is well with you. but Pole sana about all the rain that you guys are getting. Here it is nothing but sun sun and more sun but all the members are saying that this is winter, and all is say is dang it i'll be dead in a few months. But again thanks for writing me really appreciate it lots of people forgot to today i opened up the email inbox and i had 3 emails. Kindly depressed but oh well. Ya for us this week has been good we had a baptism two days ago. This guy was powerful he knew english very well and we would give him the books and he read them all along with the bible references and the next time we would met we would ask him if he had an questions and he would say. Nope these books are self explanatory and it is true. Done it was awesome i thanked god for him for sure.

But other than that it was a quick week and next week is transfers again probably not going to move but we will have to see.

Thanks again for writing.

Love you lots

Carson
