     I was at work today when I got Carson's letter.  It was a lot of fun to hear from him.  I told him where I was hiding the "good" chocolate ice cream and then told him never to reveal my secrets.  And this is what he told me...

yup yup but mom no never never i would never tell i will just wait for a year and destroy all the goods myself hehhehe.

Ya but wow that sounds like all of fun for u i guess.  Sorry about all of that

Well for this week um it has been long ish and somehow interesting. Well for the best we are having zc in two weeks we have alot of inv getting ready for baptism and i m really liking my companions and we are enjoying... but to say that we are getting along is another story. the threesome like i said is great but i just feel i don't have a comp they call it here that i m the floater because i float in between the companionships. Like the odd man, it is fun but it sucks whent alot this week with the other sets of elders because of some complications but this week will be a good one we hope...

Hi Carson,

     so fun getting your letter.  I've been pacing the department and checking the computer as much as I can.  We're on the final hour of the night and I'm about pooped out.

Sorry about the floater thing.  Any idea how long that will last?  But sounds great about the investigators.  Good luck with that.

Are you going to play my game?   Best thing, worst thing, funnest thing...etc...

for the rest of this transfer but it might go to the next if it don't change but hehe it will soon.

Best thing: um had a good sunday and visas are good now.

Bad Thing: um.... Floater business.

Funnest : Playing cards, talking about Nyabos and just messing with the couples.

What is nyabos?

What does that mean...messing with the couples?

don't worry about that one

Just having fun with them messing with there emotions Etc,

???

Ya know...sometimes it would be nice if you kind of explained things in a bit more detail.   It kind of helps me understand what you're talking about.  (wink wink nudge nudge)

So zone conference in 2 wks.  Do you have to do anything for that?  Are you still a zone leader or has that changed?

Do they eat turkey over there?

hehe hehe secrets will go to the grave with this kid haha hehe howhow hwo

nope just to show up neat and cute in the BAG

Still a zone leader

NOPE NOPE COUPLES ARE ON A STICK BUDGET CANT SPEND ANY MONEY AT ALL

What does that mean to show up "in the BAG"? 

That's funny...stick budget.  What happened to your "stick" budget? 

So they can't spend money...but is there such a thing as eating turkey over there? 

How much longer till Christmas?  First time in a long time that I'm wishing Christmas would get here faster!  Would love to hear your voice again.

In the bag no problems...

STICKY

NOPE NOPE NOPE

To much hahahaha

ya my funny accent

Do you think you are picking up the accent?  The last time we talked...you didn't really have one except you say a few words a little funny.  Like phootaball.  That was cute.

Are you still riding around on a bicycle?  how many miles a day do you ride?   or walk?

What's the best thing you ate this week?

not really but i say somethings funny like.

Nope not to much anymore

ALOT

Ugali and fried fish

Fried fish?   What kind of fish do you eat?   you need to tell Ashlee how much you love fish!  See if we can convince her to try it again.

Samaki no trout this side haha that girl wont eat fish if that was the dish u made for fast Sunday

Is samaki anything like trout?  Is it better or worse?

You are 100% right about that girl.  I did make some fish tacos one night that weren't too bad...but she turned her nose up at them. 

Better

Hahahah

(Here are some pictures of samaki I found on the internet...not sure if it's really what he's eating but...?)

Well, it's getting to be that time of the morning for me.  Almost 7 and ready for shift change.  It's been such a long night tonight.  Hope you have a great week this week.  Any other big plans today?  Good luck on teaching and with your investigators.  Let us know if you need anything.  Sure love you lots.  Take care and stay safe.  

Have you heard any more about the ebola outbreak?  There has been one death due to ebola down in Texas and there are rumors that one of the nurses in that hospital has been infected.  I really hope it doesnt' get up here.

Nope just tomorrow is a branch party lots of fun... thanks we are going to need it. Ya it is almost world wide but not in Tanzania?????? don't know how that works.

What are you doing for the branch party. 

Thank goodness it's not in Tanzania.
