Well things back home sound really nice actually. Im glad Davis beat Viewmont, always need some davis pride. So ya we do have zone conference this transfer. We are going to eldoret on wed. for it. So ya kinda weird im starting my third transfer here. ya im back in my area after 2 weeks. All the people at church were asking me if i got lost By the way i got my new comp. his name is elder Magero. he is from Kenya. And he actually has family close to where we are. So ya he speaks swahili and that is very nice. He is very tall and skinny. And very laid back and chill. He is not to excited about anything. But he saw our type of area when he took the long bus ride from nairobi and he doesnt like it. Its just too much in the bush. He says that he wants to leave. And he really seems sure that he will next transfer. But we will see. So ya the area im in, is actually one of the hardest, cause its in the bush. The area thats similar to mine is called Chyulu and i wouldnt be suprised if i go there after this area. But me i dont mind the bush. Im actually getting really used to it. Like the mud houses with the tin metal roofs are now pretty sweet. You know peoples kitchens are sepreated from their house. Usually its like a small tiki mud hut, next to their house. and there they do all their cooking. So ya its good to be back in my area but sadly im going leave again this week cause of zone conference. We have to leave wed. to get to eldoret and then we stay at the zl's flat. The only bad thing about this area is how much you travel. We get 2000 shillings at the end of the month to make up for transportation. We really do travel alot and it ends up costing alot of money.But he is a cool guy. He even made a big dinner for me on saturday night. He is a good cook kinda like all kenyan mama's. But something i found out is that Tanzanians are better cooks than kenyans. Just from what i've experienced. One of the things i miss most about my last area are the mwingira family. They had us over every friday night for a DA. And wow that mama could cook. And not to mention their families is one of the coolest families i've meet on my mission. So even last week i got a letter from a member in my last area. He was wondering how i was doing, and told me what he was doing back in changombe. I miss that kid alot. So im excited to watch conference. I dont know when they will do it here, or if they will, cause i wont lie our area is out in the middle of no where. The president doesnt even come out this far. So ya i know what he was talking about for more missionaries. Out of the 6 missionaries that left last transfer only 3 came to replace them. They even had to close down one of the area's. We even loose 5 more missionaries at the end of this transfer. I dont know what were going to do. Slowly we are decreasing in missionaries. We do need more, and i hope we do get more. So its andrew's birthday on Sunday. And i want everyone who reads this to email him, write him, or contact him somehow to tell him happy birthday. And his comp better buy him a cake. I did when it was elder mkhabela's b-day. Speaking of elder Mkhabela, he is now with my father. Kinda cool my dad, and my step dad are now working together. Im going to text them this week, to with them both a happy 1 year mark.
So ya i cant believe we beat BYU finally. And i wasnt there for it. Still way awesome though. And bronco fired his defensive cordinator. Ha funny, always blaming others. But prob someone needed to be fired, i bet the university was pissed. So ya 31 to 6, I cant believe it. ha i wonder what the byu fans there were like. Prob couldnt say anything. Now when byu plays utah and tcu, thats just going to be flat out sad. But wow nice. It was on espn, thats actually way sweet. Anyway football season is killing me, i just cant believe im missing it.
-love jack
