So driving Taylor back and forth to diabetic camp up past Cochrane this week and then working a few nights and then planning (and going) to Ken's family reunion campout in the mountains....I totally forgot to post Carson's last letters.  Oops!  Good thing we are almost done this cause I am really falling behind!  A lot!  Anyways...here are his last weeks letters from the third.

August 3, 2015

Hey mom ya all is going well. um ya so as responding to your email. It doesn't matter to me but ya um relief society... ah i would be willing but i don't know what you want me to say i have never been in that class, I have pocked my eyes in the class but it is like they throw daggers at me via there eyes... so i can say maybe what they do but it would be a short spiritual thought.

as for the bedroom doesn't really matter so long as there is a nice bed there ah what ever doesn't matter to me.

ya love you lots to.

As for us this week has been the same very short but that is because we have a big area and lots of people to see so we are working hard kabisa. 

But ya i m good and all is well thanks for everything hope your there to chat. 
love you lots mom

Hi Carson.  Don't worry about teaching us about rs.  They'll probably just ask you questions.  I'll ask better details next week.

So i am at Georgia's house. We had cinnamon rolls cooked in oranges on their campfire last night. So good!  Can't wait to spend the day with her tomorrow. Going to ikea to buy you some shelves for your new room. 

Was going to tell you.  Watching a new show on TV.  You know how I like the weird ones.  It's called Zoo.  It's about the animals getting smarter and taking over the world.  Starts out in Africa. There's a pack of five male lions going around killing people.  Gave me nightmares for a week.  So stay away from any lions over there ok.

Ok mom sounds like you are watching some interesting movies that side.  wow wow but ya that sounds like a lot of fun.  enjoy.

Are you walking or riding bikes in your area?  Bikes might give you a better chance at out running those maverick lions.  Are there lions or wildlife where you are at?

There were also these nasty giant bats that flew to Antartica and covered up the solar panels so all the people froze to death.  I hate bats.  Do they have bats over in Africa?

ya we are biking...wildlife like crazy insects and birds and some crazy rabid dogs and cats but no lions...ya there are bats in busia they were living in the roof so there was bat fecus falling from there it was super disgusting and also this flatt that we are living in now is pretty disgusting too.

Ewwwww! Really?  Now I'lll have really bad dreams about you and nasty out of control blood sucking bats for the next four weeks.  Yikes.  Did I mention I hate bats!  I'm never going to Africa!!!

So what's the one food you look forward to eating most when you get back to Canada? What's the one food you never want to see again?

Dang mom their so many foods that i want to eat when i get home. hamburgers pizzas subway your pizza buns and desserts... you no what lets just say mom's cooking ya thats the one thing i m really excited to eat that. 

ugali and sukuma for sure i never want to see that stuff mostly sukuma.  that one has been messing with me for sure

What is sukuma?  Fish?  Well you'll have to let me know what you want me to cook first for you ok?  I'll have it ready and waiting.

Speaking of food...I hate to talk about trunky stuff...but I was going to ask you about what you want to have happen for your homecoming. Not sure how many of your friends will be able to come as it will be the second week in sept...but do you want a big supper or bbq for friends and family Saturday night or Sunday after church?  Any requests for food or who to invite?  

No that is Kale...

just something small a bbq with family and friends sounds awesome...  Sunday after church cause everybody would be around that time... Hamburgers chips and fruits (Fruit dish grapes, STRAWBERRIES RASPBERRIES watermelon) and maybe even moms famous fruit pizza.  Just something small i don't know how many people that i know will be running around that time so what ever just make it a surprise and i ll enjoy KABISA KABISA  Thanks mom your the best

Awwww...no kale?  Gma will be heartbroken.  So will dad.  He loves the stuff.  Hahaha.

Ok. We will make it happen. If you think of anything else you want...let me know. 

I hope when you go do your fireside for the youth you will make ugali and chapati and sukuma for them. That would be kind of fun!  

Any big plans for the rest of your day? What's on your grocery list?  Any big plans this week?

We ll see i can do chapatii just fine but ugali i m still working on and sukuma i don't even want to look at that stuff.

Nope not really just hanging out tell tomorrow then well have ddm.  and then its exchanges i ll go with the district leader to my area and my comp to his area, hangout till Thursday then we ll switch back and then Frid or sat we might be back to Kitale because my comp has a interview with president.  but well just have to see what happens and that sounds like the week.  

Remember when I tried to make ugali before you left?  Is it anything like the ugali they make over there?

What do you do at ddm? Why do they do exchanges?  When do you have your next interview with the pres?  Did he ever give you advice on future job plans?

some how it was nice. just talk bout the scriptures and strength each other, 

MY next interview will be at the end of Aug. when i m going home. 

Nope he said to tell you that "im preparing to be ready and to be worthy to enter the temple to be sealed to the right girl at the right time....."

Well I guess that's good advice.  But that will happen in its own due time.  No need to rush that stuff.  But I'm curious to know what he says about picking an occupation.  As a girl...I picked something I could do in my spare time after being a wife and mom.  But you men have it hard.  You have to pick something that you have to do every day for the rest of your life.  That's pretty tough to do I think.  So get as much advice as you can about that stuff.  Any ideas yet on what your future plans could be?

ya thats what i tried to ask him but i guess will talk bout that when we get in that interview.  I honestly do not know i feel medicine is what i would like to do but than again i don't now exactly..

Well if you like medicine I know a few docs you could come talk to and get some ideas.  I'm sure it will all work out for you Carson.  Just keep your eyes and heart open to what Heavenly Father has in store for you.  Make the most of opportunities you are given and mostly work hard cause it will pay off!  Haha.  Sure love you.  It's six thirty here now. Guess it's almost time to get moving.  Can't wait to see what Taylor learns at camp this week!

If you think of any other requests you want for your homecoming or what you want to go down when you get off the plane, let me know. This is your big experience and I'll do my best to do whatever it is you want to see happen.  (That's not going to happen too often so take advantage while you can!)

OK thanks mom love you lots

Love you too.  Good luck this week.  Stay strong and work hard.  Thanks for being awesome.  Take care and be safe.  Luv ya!

YA thanks mom talk to you next week.
love you
