Hey guys...
It was nice to hear from you this week. I'm sorry I didn't get to email very much last week. I was busy with transfers. Zimmerman is nice though. Luckily I haven't seen any prostitues, but it might just be because i am too innocent to recognize one... This place is really nice in terms of Kenya and it was a big change from Chyulu... A little bit about my area is that it has been closed to missionary work for the past two years and along with whitewashing it, we are also opening it, which is tough, but you know how it goes...
We have had some exciting times over the past week, and although I miss being rejected by those living in the bush, it's nice to be able to have easily over 80 contacts a day! The people here are so prepared for the gospel! It's like those past two years have been fermenting them into a nice golden wine (golden wine only because there are a bunch of golden investigators...) that we as missionaries get to enjoy...
This past sunday we had 13 investigators at church!!! Can you believe that?! 1-3! WOW! Pretty cool! I have some high hopes for this area.
Still having some hard times though. It's been tough lately... But I've been pushin through...
Anyways, there are a few investigators who are really cool that we have met. There is Salomon, who just randomly walked into the church one sunday wondering what it was all about and is now very serious about the gospel. There is also Eric who is a super awesome guy who studies religion and knows he has finally found the true church and he askes some NICE questions! And also a cool guy named David, who was just about to go and becaome a preist for the Catholic church before he met the missionaries and said that we were an answer to his prayers... Pretty awesome! More news on them later!
But one thing that I have been studying a lot lately is Jesus the Christ. If you have not read that book I encourage all to do so! Even if it's just to read a couple of the stories from it because the way Talmage explains all those stories is straight fire! Unfortunately I no longer have that book because someone swiped it from me when we went to the mall the other day, but all i can do is hope and pray that it will bless their life as much as it has mine!
Anyway, I love this gospel, I love this church and I know it's all true!
