Remember The Name...

March 26, 2018

I HAVE SOME BIIIG NEWS... A friend of mine just told me that they are pregnant!!! Sososo exciting!!! AND EVEN BIGGER NEWS... I might have convinced them into naming it after me! I could be someones namesake!!! So excited though! He is awesome.... Just kidding... Guys can't get pregnant, SHE is awesome! BUT, due to some confidentiality things, I am not allowed to disclose the name.... Sorry! BUT, after she told me I just wanted to scream it from the rooftops and run around telling everyone, because it made me so happy! And because of that, if Aanika or Amber are to have a cookie baking in the oven by the time I'm coming home, I strictly do not want to know about it. I strictly do not want to know... I want to be told in person and emailing would not be very exciting. So I do not even want a hint about it. Spread the word, get it out that if i hear any news about that type of thing I will be very bummed. Not to say it will happen, but none the less, accidents happen, and if it does no one can tell me. PLEASE I BEG.

And this past week have been really good though!!! I really really love it here in Eldoret, and I earnestly hope that I can finish my mission here. That would be a dream! I have so many friends here, and the work is great, and we have been seeing a great amount of success, and one of the best parts is the weather... It almost feels like fall in Utah. It's a little chilly but still warm, and mentally its almost like a wave of relief like "That was the flippin' longest summer I have ever had and finally it is getting cold, finally winter is coming...". I think if i can enjoy this weather till the end it could just make this October that much sweeter...

Yesterday at church we had a baptism for Ann and Irene!!! Really happy for them, and I had always thought that when missionaries come home and you ask what their favorite part was and they respond saying it was seeing the change the gospel brings people- it was a BORING answer, but they are totally right!!! It's the best part of being a missionary! And when you see that happen to people it changes your life forever as well!!! I love the gospel!!! Next week we are to have a baptism for a sister named Sarah, and then hopefully if all goes well, we will be having another baptismal service for Raphael and Caroline with the rest of their family! Exciting times here!

Today we had quite the adventure... We went to explore this water fall, and then we traversed this river, and tried to catch crabs, and then hopped this fence that we found, then almost got chased by dogs, then got saved by the owner of the dogs, then got a tour from the guy who saved us who tried to go and take us to see wild hyenas, but unfortunately they weren't in their dens, they were out hunting for food. So if that tells you a little bit about how crazy Kenya is then... More of that story to come in 6 months... Just remind me...

I am super bad at answering questions... sorry, 

But, about the prophet, no one knows at the moment... I will say that all the missionaries really hope to go but don't get your hopes up... But we will see! Pray for us! 

Small spiritual thought since I am pretty much out of time... How amazing is it that we have a prophet on earth today? It's so awesome! Some one who is super close with Heavenly Father and telling us what he wants us to know... Wow. 

There was something really interesting that I read the other day. but I can't remember what it said, sorry... 

But i love you all! France looks awesome!!! I still really, really, want to go to Switzerland, and I didn't know that you went to Florence as well??? 

BTW, I still got all the other post cards! 

BBTW is Matt climbing everest? 

BBBTW love you guys,
