ZC sounds like a pretty great time.  Did you get any packages?

Congrats on the baptism...sounds amazing.  Would love to hear more about it.

Good luck with the home repairs!  That's a good thing to do.

Dad just woke up and said to say hi!

Awww...just saw your picture!  Love it!  You can send me more if you want.  I love seeing you!

How's the weather today?  Still snow on the vehicles this morning.  I'm cuddled on the couch with a BIG blanket and the fireplace is roaring.  Enjoy your warm weather.

It is nice for sure this weather is wonderful but i ll suffer because of that cold funny stuff i haven't seen for like 2 years.

Teacher of children...

sweet thanks

The baptism...how was the baptism?  

Did you get any more packages at zc?  

So do you not speak a lot of swahili in Mwanza?  Or did you speak more swahili in Dar?

Here come the girls for scripture study.  They all look so tired!!!

Baptism was great got some pic and it was great...

Ya i got a few thanks for that really enjoyed the Canadain poncho and other stuff,.

Not really but it is coming now. Just the desire i guess,

Hahaah they are enjoying school eh hahaha

Are you able to send us a pic from your baptism?

Have you been opening up all the Christmas packages still?  Carson!!!   You won't have anything for Christmas morning!  Guess I'll just have to send you some more.  Anything that you would like?  Chocolate bars...sunflower seeds...water flavor...candy....gum...toys for kids...tshirts?????  

How much of your day do you spend speaking swahili?  Are all your lessons/teachings in swahili?  

What else are you doing today?  I'm going to Cardston to watch Ashlee play volleyball.  After their hard tourney up in Brooks...this west wind one should be easy peasy!

Maybe next week.

???? it is almost Christmas is it.

Sunflower seeds are nice

Most of the time... Mostly time is in swahili

CHILLING

sweet have fun eh...

So this person you baptized...what does he do for a living?  Any family?  How did he hear about the church?  What was it that he liked best about the gospel?  Did he have any struggles with committing to baptism?  How does he feel now?

Is there a favorite flavor of sunflower seeds you like...or just the plain seasoned ones?

Yes it's almost Christmas.  It's Halloween on Friday.  Ashlee wants to throw a fear factor party on Saturday.  Ummm...that kind of worries me.  What kind of mess will I have to clean up.  She talked about getting live fish for them to swallow.  Remember when you drank that goldfish at the ward party?  Yes...you were her inspiration.  Thanks

He has a family and is working on a job but he is a good artist. he was a refferal from a member. ??? nope he was pretty cool.

Just any would be nice.

Wow that is awesome i always wanted to inspire some one to eat a live gold fish

So ya almost out of time.

Love all of you guys and i ll talk to you all next week.

Thanks

And here's his letter to Ken:

haha dad for sure your email everytime it makes me laugh thanks eh. thanks for that...

But we are still in a three some. lots of fun but really annoying for sure. But all is well this side. We just had a baptism on saturday which was awesome and we should be trying to have another in two weeks but we ll have to see. Most times it is hard but we can usually get around 3- 6to church which is good but this branch is really slow for sure but all is well.

Wow that is awesome dad and i hope all continues going well for u that side.

Love you lots talk again next week
