first off i just wanted to say im sorry you have to eat corn. You wont believe how many times i ate this past week. And to answer your question i've eaten corn in two ways. First of course on the cob like we all know. Then the other one they pluck it off and mix it into beans. I cant remember what they call it, its some crazy name. Ya so when i come home i dont want to see corn for at least 6 months. So ya about the kilominjaro pics. They were from the plane, Dar is a few thousand miles away from kilominjaro. But the pics i have are actually really good. Its cool though it comes up above the clouds, its really high up there. Im sure if you would have seen it, you would have def. wanted to climb it. Even i was like, esh that looks fun.
So something i've eaten this past week that was good was guava. Have you ever had the juice in the stores? Well its nothing like the real thing. It legit, its good. All i can say is go find a guava and eat it. Also i've been making alot of chips mayai and i can say that im getting pretty good at it. Did you guys ever figure out, how to make it? Its kinda unhealthy by the way. But what you do is skin some potatos, then cut them up into large fries. Then put some grease into a frying pan(alot). And soak the fries in there till they are crisp. Then take them out put them into a bowl or something. When you made some fries what you do, is take the grease out of the pan, then put the fries in (pan should not be big). Enough to cover the whole pan. Then crack some eggs, in a cup, stir them up real good. Finally just pour the eggs over all the fries evenly. You want enough eggs so you can cover all the fries. Then you just cook it. You need to flip a couple of times. But ya really not hard to make, so if you ever get bored one day, try it.
So ya i gotta tell you about the circumcisions that are about to happen. 14 year old boys get lined up and a really scary guy with a knife comes and cuts. The boys are not allowed to show pain or any other emotion or else they are not a true man. Its some intense stuff. They have been getting ready for it by running up and down the streets with whistles, bells and chanting. Im gonna try and send you a pic i took of them chanting, but these computers here suck, they dont like to upload the pics from my camera, it sucks.
But ya we have some elections this week. The elections are for the new constitution. There have been many people who are on the yes team and many on the no team. They drive around in their trucks with huge systems and play music and tell the people to vote yes or vote no. its pretty cool. I want to get the t-shirts they have. They have a yes green t-shirt, and a No red t-shirt. They are pretty cool, and im trying to find them. The elections are on Wednesday. We are not suppose to work that day, and are encouraged to stay home. But as for us we will be in Kitale aka Kirtland that day. So we will have to see what happens, i dont think there will be any violence but you never know these things. There have been a few incidents around kenya. Including someone getting shot, and there was a missionary there who witnessed it. But ya thats only in the bigger cities. It shouldnt be bad where im at.
But anyways dad, the work here is good. And we are getting a bunch of referrals, like alot. We recived two today already, its hard to keep up. But ya mission is still very good. This transfer is getting close to the end its kinda intense stuff.
-Love matt
