Plot Twist!

July 24, 2017

We went fishing... But yeah. This week was pretty darn good. We spent the week in a place called Eldoret which was awesome. We were over there for zone conference, and might I say, it was powerful. For real. President Msane is awesome. We got back to our area for church, which was great because church is church, and it's always awesome. But unlike your guys' ward, our meeting was not canceled because of a power outage... and actually, in fact, I have not attended church here in Kisumu WITH the power being on... It's loco. 

But today, for p-day we went to a place called Impala Park. It was amazing. I'll keep it short, so I can send pictures, but, like I said, we went fishing, and I caught 2 whole fish! Yowza! It was fun. Unlike traditional fishing though, we had to catch our own bait before goin' for the little fishes... But nonetheless, we came out victorious. I like to say "vini vidi vichi". Haha! We did see hippos though! And they are much bigger than previously thought... But along with those exciting things, we got bullied by some monkeys! Yeah, they stole my chips the little jerks... But they are cute from a distance! I tried grabbing one's tail and it started hissing at me, so I said "easy now..." and walked away. There are so many stories to tell along with these, But I'm kinda bored, So I don't think I'll type them all up, but we also saw hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs (we were going to do the whole "pay a sketchy guy 300 extra shillings and pet the darn animal, but there were some schools visiting, so we didn't get the chance.) A BUFFALO that kept licking my fingers! I have a video! Ostriches, warthogs, flamingos, this weird cat thing that we may have gotten a li'l too close to, impalas, giraffes- which also licked my fingers... I don't know what's on my fingers but... Also baboons. Cool stuff. Cool stuff.

I've also been having a reoccurring nightmare, where I get to my year mark, and my mission is over. It kinda sucks...

Anyways, love you all! have a good week! See ya l8r!

Also, as a spiritual note, go and read the talk called "Obedience" by a guy I think his last name is Brewerton or something. I don't know. But it's an older one. If you can't find THAT one, listen to whatever talk you find about obedience, 'cause I'm sure it'll be good. Obedience brings blessings. Exact obedience brings miracles!
