     Here's the latest from Carson:

Wow that sounds like fun fun fun. sounds like alot of fun. But kaylee driving, what u guys never let me drive this much when i first started out now i am jealous kabisa

Um ya so we ll start at the so for me packages are nice but i think when mission is about 3/4 mark i think u can just scrape packages and prepare for my coming back home. That sounds powerfully. Sketchy eh hahah mom we corrupted u eh... we ll as of late what u send me is great but a little less photos of big fat man showering on the beach, ya don't send more of those. Not really but we are getting 15 more missionaries most of them sisters. so we ll have to see what happens that side. We ll be in Dar this week for Zone conference next transfer is next monday. hmmm ok lots of these people are either unemployed or doing minimal work or going to school. but all of them are powerful and wanting to learn so it if fun. What i am struggling with is swahili very hard and messes with me kabisa some days i feel like i have it than other days it is like nope nope nope. but it is fun to learn. yup always thanks mom Really appreciate it and just thought i mention but i took some money out today i hope this doesn't fire u guys up again but running low again and i don't want to make excuses so ya thought i would say that.

Thanks again mom hope u too have a good week

Love you lots

Oh I know about the driving thing.  I agree with you!

Glad you like the packages.   Did you get the one with the Canada pins?   I love the big fat beach guy!!!  Good reason to stay away from the beaches!  

This was the picture he is talking about.  I sent it along with one of his packages.  Careful...it might be a bit disturbing!!!

I guess it's good that you're getting more missionaries.  Too bad about the reasons why they have to be transferred out though.  You're washing your hands right?

Good luck at zone conf this week.  Do you have to present anything this time?  Have fun with that.

Any stories about teaching the people that you would like to share?  You know we love those!

Keep up with the swahili.  You are probably doing better than you think.  It will come!

Sorry about all the chaos last week with your letter.  We were all over the place.  I guess what we worry about with the money is first of all...you need to learn to live within a budget.  What are you finding that takes up most of your money?  Still traveling expenses?

no not yet but i am getting a bunch of packages soon so we ll have to see. yup yup yup. nope almost but i think my comp will do it this time. um this week was kindly slow not much really interesting stuff happened.

Food and travel mostly yup yup yup

Sorry you haven't got them yet.  I sent them a looooong time ago.  Maybe you'll never get that one.  I guess I can try again.

Do you have to pay to use the computer wherever you're at?  How long to you get for how much money?

Heard anything about the ebola scare?

I hope the yup yup yup about money means you understand what I'm saying...right?

It might not be interesting for you...but for your momma who is sitting 10,000miles away...anything you do would be interesting to me. 

ya it sucks we pay for each hour we use. got to make it worth it. for about 2 hrs will equal 3000 tsh.

Ya lots and everybody this side is worried about it.

Right.... um... yes sure ya  absolutely

hmmm poa i ll remember that

So what are they telling you about the ebola scare?

What is poa?  I'm sure you'll remember that.

Did Mark Mehew send you a letter today?  He pulled me aside at church yesterday and asked me for your email address.  Hope that's ok that I gave it to him.  

Just to watch out

cool

nope not yet

Hmmm really not anything like that from this side,

Well, Carson.  Good talking at you today.  Guess I better get going.  Georgia will be here soon.  We are heading to Kalispell for a couple days.  Hope you have a great week.

Love ya lots.

Mom

sawa talk to u next week love you too

And here's Ken's letter....

Hey dad that is great to hear that you are out of the hosipital. and i guess to say all is well. I was wondering if you ever found out about kaylee dating and stuff. um ... ya i ll work on that this week for sure i look at it now and for sure i think these last few companions have been hustling me kabisa. So we ll just have to see what happens. But sounds like you guys are having lots of fun. For us this week has been kindly slow. Tues and Wed where kindly chill days and then the last part of the week has been kindly busy. But this next week will be Zone Conference and we ll be in Dar for the next days really excited for that and then monday of next week is transfers so we ll have to see who is my new companion. Where u ever in a 3 some.???

Just curious but all is well this side and talk to u later on Monday. Thanks for writing
