Yeah, Take That, Uganda!



April 3, 2017


"i wonder where we should put the next temple?... Maybe Uganda since the church has 3 stakes in that country and East Africa needs one?... NOPE lets put one in Kenya with their two stakes, cause the missionaries and the saints are way better." Just kidding... i think a temple would be better in Uganda... but YEEESSSSS! We are getting a temple! AAAHHHHH! It’s so exciting! I was literally on the verge of tears when i found out, but I had a major headache so I didn't cry....
But this week has been good! I’ve been sick for a good amount of it. I won’t tell you the details or anything cause they're pretty nasty, but don’t worry! It’s not malaria...
The work has also been going well! We were getting a little discouraged with the work and then BAM! A temple hits us in the face! I’m still so stinkin excited... I cannot even begin to tell you... We may not have cars, or washing machines, or running water/electricity half the time, BUT WE"RE GETTING A TEMPLE! YEE-YEE! so excited...
Now, at this time, I don’t want to talk a lot about Nairobi, because frankly I’m just not much of a fan when it comes to talking about the type a things we see over here, BUT... I will tell you about this awesome adventure we went on today... we journeyed to a place called "Paradise Lost" and just hung out for hours and hours. It was super awesome and I was completely in my element! We got to go into these stone age caves that were literally behind a waterfall (dream come true) AND flippin heck! I GOT TO SWING ON JUNGLE VINES LIKE TARZAN! LIKE LITERALLY SWINGING FROM VINE TO VINE! IT WAS SO AWESOME. AAAANNNNNNDDDDD, I finally saw my first monkey! After 6 freakin months.. I FINALLY saw my first monkey and it was just as awesome as I'd ever imagined... dang... good times good times.
I love it here, I totally want to come back for the temple dedication... But I hope it’s not for a while after I get home... I need time to "recover"... I don’t have a bunch to say this week, If you have any questions, feel free to just shoot ‘em on over to me at aidan.fraga@myldsmail.net but as for now, eh, I do like this place.

p.s. I’m totally going grey! I have so many grey hairs now!
