Christmas there sounds alot better than christmas here. Snow and everything. Ha i can say there is no snow here. So ya its summer now, and it feels nothing like christmas at all. Its getting hotter and people around here give us cocoa. I dont know whats up. But esh they expect us to drink two cups each. So ya christmas here, doesnt feel like christmas at all. You know girls around here shave there head or cut it way way short. And me i really dont like it, it just doesnt look right. I like girls with long hair, and now i know that i will take care of my wifes hair, cause if she deciedes to shave it esh no ways it will cause shida's. Anyways kinda intersting week. We had another elder come home with us last wed. to work with us a couple of days since his comp. Had to leave the country cause his visa was expiring and they had to renew it. Anyways while those elders were out of there flat, there bikes were stolen. And on friday we got a call and were told that the bikes were stolen and the night guard that watches the compound at night is saying the missionaries stole it. So the next day we go to kitale to the elders flat. And by that time the other elders comp who left the country just returned. And so we were all together. And We had the chief of security there and a whole bunch of other people. and they asked the night guard who stole the bikes. And first pointed at the missionary who had been out of the country. And then he pointed at me. And he said that these ones are the ones that stole the bikes. So ya im being accused of stealing other missionaries bikes. So ya since saturday i've been in kitale dealing with this. We have been the police station and waited there for hours. Finally they took statements from me, two elders, and the nightguard and another guard. So ya thats whats i've been doing this week. But since one of the kitale elders was with us and the other in tanzania i dont think so. They guy is a drunk who keeps changing his story. I dont know whats going to happen, me i was sick of kitale so i came back to webuye today. Kinda bogus, we will see what will happen later this week. I might have to go back to kitale and see whats gonna go down. but you know me and the other missionary have just been laughing about this. Cause that night guard is just making up a story, and it keeps changing. The police want to lock him up for a couple of days until he remembers perfectly what happend. So ya thats been the highlight of my week.. Being accused of stealing bikes, and sitting in a police station. So with dealing with all that i was sick of it, and decided i was going to buy a burger in town, where all the tourists are. And esh its way way way expensive there. But me i didnt care i got a burger and esh i was one the best things i've ever eaten. So ya anyways the mission pres and the ap's came to kitale yesterday. And we got to have a famliy home evening with them last night it was nice. By the way you know david's pizza in kaysville, well that my mission presidents brother. And he told me last night that there will be a free pizza waiting for me when i go home. So ya it was fun last night, but crowded. There isnt enough room for all the elders in the kitale flat. so esh we all were cramped together last night when we were sleeping. So ya its been fun, the ap's wanted to see our area, so we took them and showed them around, they came looked at the area and the flat, not sure what there going to do. They might close it down. They have closed down 5 area's in the last 2 transfers. We are loosing missionaries like crazy and we are not getting any. So esh our mission is getting small. Like way small, we really need alot more missionaires here. Oh i talk to the ap's and odds are that me im being moved after this transfer. Im hoping for mombasa. I really want to go there, but we will wait and see. But anyways our ap's both are way sweet. So ya thats been my week and its getting late so i gotta go. But i love you and miss you. And i hope i dont have to go back to kitale and deal with the bike. But ill let you know how it goes. so ill talk to you next week
