Ok...so I'm a little bit behind posting Carson's last letter!  Thank goodness there's only 4 more weeks of this left to do!  So excited to be almost done!  I can't wait to finally get to see my Carson again! Anyway...here is last weeks letters.........

July 27, 2015

Hey mom

Ya all is well this side. The week has been interesting. The flatt here is bogus not clean and just crazy that is what we have been doing this week and the previous elders before did now work here so there is not any really foundation or any investigators to work on. but ya so we have had an interesting week but in the end we went to church and we have gotten refferals and it looks like next week is going to be super super busy. 

My new companion is awesome he is from eldoret and actually was my district leader in Nairobi so ya all is going great with him/ His name is Elder Anyoso. 

but ya other than what i have said nothing else really has happened.  Ya thanks mom hope all is well at work love you lots

Ewwww.  I would hate to have to come into some yucky unclean flatt like that.  Sounds kind of gross.  But that sounds great about the referrals.  Super excited about your busy week coming up.  And I'm happy that you've got a great companion to work with.

Life in ER is nuts tonight.  We've had 3 stabbings so far, a stroke, 2 heart attacks and many, many stupid whiny complaints. So it's a bit busy here.  It's my fourth night and I'm so excited to have this next week off for a while.  I need to get away from this place.

How big of a branch/ward is there in Kitale?

Well i am in misikhu and we had 64 members there so it was super nice. 

So is Misikhu part of Kitale...or is it a separate town?  How big is it?  Like Lethbridge size? Or Raymond size?

Ya misikhu is far far from Kitale, and it is smaller then welling kabisa.

I didn't realize you were so far away.  I thought you were back in the big city.

it took about an hour and 1/2 to get to kitale it sucked kabisa

Why did it take so long and what was it that made it suck?  Did you ride in a big ol bus?

We had to take a small little bus and everybody was cold so there was no air.  So i was stuck in the back stuck inbetween some people sweating like crazy and i got some motion sickness but all is well now.

Oh that does sound like it would suck.  So when people are cold...how cold/warm is the temperature?  What passes for cold over there?

Any big plans this week?  I know you said you have lots of referrals but anything besides that?  What else are you doing today?

here more just a cool breeze just bout closes schools for a week this morning people were bundled up coats and toques and then there is me t shirt and pants.  Nothing much i m afriad not to many big plans well just have to see what happens

What's the temperature for you today?  Lately it's about 25-28 above.  Are you ready for some winter yet?

like today it is around 10 = 20 but i don't know bout winter yet can i look at it while sitting on the fireplace and drinking hot coca




And then I got REALLY busy at work and wasn't able to finish talking with him.  Too many stabbings and not enough nurses!


Here's Ken's letter:

Hey dad

Ya all is going well, i m not to happy with president but atleast i know the general area here so it is not a complete white wash but a few of the members have been making fun with me. One is a return missionary from uganda that just came back and when talking bout missionary work she tells me to go somewhere else and that i am dead and my spirit for missionary work is down, but overall all is well.

YA i m excited for that but i just hope i can still shut straight lately my eyes have been some how irritating me i don't know if it is the sun or the dust or what but they are really bugging me. 

ok ya when i get home i ll really want to go back to work so ya i haven't talked to mark at all but i would really like to start with them but if they don\t have any work for me to do then somewhere else would be fine i guess.

Love you lots dad

Have a great happy birthday i don't know why but i thought your were up in the 50 for some reason but 49 is still good wow 

keep it up
Have they said what my topic is for the 13 so i can start preparing



And here's Carson's letter to Grandma:
