Comfortably Numb

October 23, 2017

A pretty good description of how I feel. I don't think things are too good here. But I'm coping well. I wish that things could be a li'l different than this, but I guess that it's all part of the journey. 

I do feel a little down. Kisumu isn't helpin' a whole lot, but that's the condition of the whole country so I'll hang on. I'm trying my best to be an optimist! Haha it may feel like hell, but at least it's not cold! 

It's hard not to think about home though... Especially being inside for so long. I don't know if you heard about Madagascar, but almost all of the missionaries have been taken out. I don't want to spread rumors or anything, but if it can happen there than... Well, ya know.

About Bednar, yeah he came, but he was in Nairobi, so not a chance of meeting him. :( It would have been cool though..

And about moving around for elections, the people up top seem to think it's gonna be okay around here this time around. So we stayed here in Kisumu. HA. We will see.

And the work is good, though we don't have much time to teach. It makes the work difficult, it's not easy to find investigators, and when we do, it's not likely that they stick around, because they are either participating in the ruckus, or they are running away from it. So we all hope and pray that things will cool off, and perhaps people will be ready to learn and accept the gospel, and reap the blessings in their lives. but yeah :(...

Anyways, oh gosh Portland sounds nice right now... When you talked about Sizzle Pie, my mouth was literally watering. And getting lost for hours in Powell's Book store sounds like a dream. I hope everything is amazing for you back home! I pray the business is finding success! And I hope those new love birds are lovin' life! I'll hopefully talk to you next week! Lots of love!
