Carson's letter was short and sweet today. We mostly chatted about what time he would call on Christmas. Only 3 days away now! Can't wait!!!
hahah wow t hat is powerful. Sounds like a very eventful week.
um for me i have been transferred again i m now in Riruta and my companion is a
Kenyan from Eldoret Elder Njugua i think. But ya after that not much has
happened this week tuesday we worked.
Wednesday DDM
Thursday Transferred hung out with the aps.
Friday hung out with office Elders helped out with that funny
work then i went to my new area
Saturday Christmas party eat food kabisa
Sunday Church introduced myself and had a baptism and a DA and ate
more more food.
Of this week was a good one.
Next week i can't say we will be working for the most part.
Wednesday we will have DDM in Upperhill. and thursday we will be at presidents
house having a christmas party. after that ?????? probably more work but ya
lots of fun bouncing over here really enjoying. Hope all is well with you but i
think u said to phone around 7 right... thats hopefully when i ll call so just
be ready. He so thanks for writing talk to u on thursday love you lots
Sounds like a great week! How long has your new companion
been out? Dad asked if he's a full time missionary or is he a service
missionary? How far is Riruta from Nairobi?
How was working with the office Elder "funny work"?
Sounds like a party at the Presidents house will be
awesome. Hope you have fun with that.
Just so I'm sure...are you calling at 7 your time or 7 am my
time? Sorry...just want to be ready!
Dad wants to know if you have a swahili book of mormon. If
everyone over there has a different dialect....are they still able to use the
swahili book?
Ya Elder Njugnua has been out for 7 months and is a full time
missionary but a visa waiter he is suppose to serve in Cape Town but because of
his visa he is serving here. Ya doing refferals and other funny office stuff,
It was alot of fun... ya even me.
Um ya you can usually use swahili over here but English is the
national language her so most people know English so we teach in english, but
ya i have the triple comp in swahili and a bible in swahili but i don't know
how good the translation is like in English because i don't think it is the
King james version. People who own the rights to the King James version will
not let the church print it out in Swahili???????????
Sounds awesome!
Hate to be a pain...but can I ask again what time you'll call on
Christmas? I know you said 7...is that your time or mine? Right now it is
7:43 am my time...is it 5:43 pm for you?
Carson...you'll never believe it...I just looked up
Riruta....and it's next to the Ngong racecourse for Thouroughbreds. That
got dad's attention!!!
Wow that is awesome heheh. like how close. um ya 5:43 ya pretty
close to there
ok so i m out of time so i ll talk to u more on Thursday love
you lots Carson
So you'll be calling at 5 ish pm your time....which will be
about 7 am my time right?
ya ok thats what i ll do
Ya hey dad. Well this week
has been interesting. my companion left on Thursday and i was with the aps on
until friday when i got news i ll be transferred to a new area. I ll be serving
in Riruta ward. Kindo of sad to leave lucky summer but i m really liking Riruta
this ward is nothing like any of the wards i have served in, They are all great
and unified, We went to their Christmas party and everybody brought food and we
ate and ate... they had so much food people had to take some home. and the
branch didn't even spend one shilling which was very very powerful. Reminds me
of the home ward everybody is happy not to many problems and everybody is
friends. for sure miss home but i think i ll be enjoying this ward while i m
here. But ya after that all is well. I hope to be able to work hard in this
ward and help them out. Sounds like news is continuing to spread all over i
hope everybody is doing good that side. ya well hope work is going good that
side. oh and shooting those badgers eh, hehehe that was a big one yo. love you
lots and i ll talk more on Thursday when i call. Love you lots
Thanks for writing

"I need you to go to your hymn book page 319, 3rd verse When I think of
this I know that my grandson is doing the things that make him the most happy,
the most rewarding, and I love you more than I know how to say."

I tried to find his new area on the map. I think this is it. Funny that there's a horse race track just south of his area. What are the odds?
