     I sent Carson a picture of me this week.  I had to attend an inservice on how to properly "Don and Doff Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)."  It's part of our preparation for the ebola outbreak.

Do you recognize me?  It gets awfully hot in this getup...awfully fast.  After about two minutes, my glasses were completely fogged over and I couldn't see a thing.  Not sure how that will help me in an ebola outbreak!

hahaha mom sounds like u had a good week well for us it has been some how and good.

Tuesday- Worked

Wed- we had ddm and went and saw some people

Thurs We had a meeting with pres. and ate at his house really nice

Fri- Worked

Sat - Everybody boounced so we went with the membes and played soccer Which was alot of fun But they want me to play goalie again

Sun- went to church and it was a good one

After that not much

Well here for school it is much the same but they do 13 years first 6 years they are in Primary

Then after that it becomes Forms

Ya love to talk to u too. Love you lots hope you are there soon

Hi Carson,

  Sounds like a good week for you!  What's ddm?  You ate at the presidents house?  Like in Nairobi?  How did you get there?  Do you drive or fly?   How far away is Nairobi from you?  

Sounds like soccer was fun.  You play a good goalie though.  

Any lessons this week? Have you been teaching anyone?

District development meeting Ya branch pres. Nairobi is like 1 hr 30

For sure i am a siv though the hard shots i got but the easy ones oops

Ya we have taught alot and we just doing the same over and over so not much to report

What do you do at a ddm?  Oh branch pres...I thought you meant Mission pres.  Sorry.  What did you eat there?

Hey, I forgot to tell you...Julie D got a mission call to Australia.  I thought that was kinda cool!  Then yesterday at church, I saw Janae H and she has had her call for the last 5 days...but because her parents have been away for the week, she won't open it up until later today to find out where she has been called to. I don't think I could have resisted opening it that long.  It would have driven me crazy.  But maybe you've already had a letter from her about this and know all about it.  But I thought it was interesting.

Just work together on how to make the district stronger Lots of food. Rice Beans ugali samaki the works it was good.

ya dad told me i didn't believe him so i went and looked and for sure there she was with her mission call... ah blow me away a bit. What really janae is powerful me i wouldn't have waited that long but she didn't write me today so ya news to me...

That is very interesting

Well, I bet she'll have something exciting to write about to you tomorrow.

So do you hear about transfers later today?  Any ideas about what will happen?

How much does milk cost over there?  Do they have such a thing as powdered milk?

hmmm i don't know if i can handle this one these elders here are making fun of me "What if she gets called to Kenya?" all i can say is Not possible....

Ya later tonight probably around 8 tonight... nope i want a transfer but i don't now what will happen.

um milk is like 2-3 000 not too bad but i m cheep so it is a scary thing. Nope but maybe in big people shops we ll see what we can find today.

That's funny...I thought the same thing for a brief moment.  

Why do they wait so long to find out about transfers?  Now I have to wait a whole other week to hear what's happening.  (yes I know...it's not about me!)

Where would you want to be transferred to?

What is big people shops?  I'm sending you a small packet of powdered milk in my next parcel.  

What else are you planning to do today?  

It is because stupid missionaries before the williams would party like rockstars and wouldn't work for the rest of the week. anywhere but i would love to back to Dar. miss those people alot.

Just like a walmart but india style. Ah mom don't do that it will be fine just 10 more months then i can drink really milk to my hearts content.

Go maybe get a haircut and go and eat kuku at the couples PARTY YAHOO

Well, I hope you like wherever it is you get asked to go.

I know...but it's still 10 months.  I'm just curious to see if it will get to you. 

You're going to a couples party?  Hmm..what are you doing there?  How much does a haircut cost over there?  Speaking of haircuts...you should see dad now.  I told you his hair was getting quite curly...well..it is and it's absolutely adorable.  I love it!  But he's getting all sorts of compliments from ALL sorts of women about it!  I'm starting to get a little jealous!   Even at church today I had a few people come up to me to tell me how cute his hair is now!  I'm trying to get him to just put a little gel in it when it's wet so that it has that curled all over look but he insists on trying to comb it down which isn't working too well for him.  I laughed when Heath M told him that the tight curly hair look will help you feel more like you're in Africa when you get home because Dad will have his own version of an afro for you!  

hmm ya. End of transfer party. 3000 hahahah that is funny for sure hahha

fetching heath

I know...he's quite the character right.  I kinda like him.  

What do you do at an end of transfer party?

EAT FOOD AND HANG OUT with the couples...

How much time do you have left today?  Can you tell me something about the people you've been teaching?  

I m trying to send pic right now but it is messing with my emotions.

Uh oh. Sorry to hear that.  What kind of picture are you trying to send?  I'm excited to see if it comes through.  Did you get the pictures I sent you?

You ll see oh those pic of u like a robot serial killer ya i laughed

 Ok...I see the pictures!  You're so cute!  What are you doing to that poor missionary?  And who's sitting in the background?  Where is that second picture taken of?  Those rocks look huge.  Is there something at the top of them?  What is it?  Thank you for these pictures!  I love them!
