Hello Fam

July 16, 2018

Just a small update this week. It's transfer day and things are always a little tricky when that happens... But things are good! I'm stickin' around El-d for another transfer, and I am very happy about it. Crazy for me to think that I got one more round of transfer news left... 

This next week we are going to Nairobi for some foreigner paperwork which shouldn't be too bad. Hoping to try Pizza Hut's all you can eat thing while we are over there. 

Things in the Huruma branch are good. Although we were to have some baptisms this last Sunday, but because of polygamist problems, that has all been canceled... It's sad. But in good news, the family that was supposed to be baptized are super strong, with awesome testimonies, and we are really hoping they can stay strong even though they've got this tough trial at this time. When we broke the news to them, their reaction broke our hearts. We were told the next day at church that the kids refused to eat that night and cried themselves to sleep. Super bummer... Love em though.  If you could keep them in your prayers so that they will stay strong, "Ruth's family". Man, I wish you could hear their testimonies. So strong. 

I don't have much to report on this week, but maybe I have a couple pics that I can send your way... I think that's the only one I got right now. That was when I was with Elder Mahanzu. From left to right: me, Elder Merz, President Kogo (district president), Elder Mahanzu, Elder Limu. That was just after a meeting we had with the president over Eldoret and Kitale. Me and Elder Merz came in the same group. 

But yeah! That's what I got this week! Love you! 

Wait maybe I can tell you what I've studied lately. I have been doing something interesting. I call it "culture vs legacy" just thinking about what will happen after mission. I have been studying the final words of the Book of Mormon prophets, their perspective in the end. I would highly recommend it! It's a really interesting exercise! You can ask yourself, "Who do I most relate to?" is it Lehi, or Nephi? The ones who left their comfortable life with the promise of a greater one? Jacob? Who was born in tribulation and seemingly without a place to call home? Or maybe Enos, who after seeing the change the gospel made in his life, labored up until the end of his days teaching it? It is really, really interesting! A lot you can learn from it! So please, if you don't already have something you are working on study wise, try it out. It's cool. And if anyone is comfortable sharing, let me know what you learn. 

Anyways, love you all,
