I saw Jimu this week, he came to nairobi for zone conference. Esh i was very happy to see him again. Ha he told me when he got to nairobi, he was home. Just goes to show that our area was awesome. And we did have fun together. And you know this is stilll my favorite area. Members are the best and the work is good. And you remeber that guy i told you about who looked up the church after talking to a sweedish guy. Well he accepted to be baptized on sunday. Esh freaking sweet. Again it just shows what talking to someone about the church can do. But anyways back to that, i got to hang out with jimu for a day. And it was awesome. He bought me a swahili, shirt and a bag. So again pretty awesome. And you saw the pics of the hospital. ha that was a fun and crazy day. Esh i cant belive we got the bounce castle into that small hall. Didnt think it could fit. But ya eveyone seemed to enjoy it. I got alot of pics of that day. And the christmas party. So ya for service, we just kinda do anything. We help member with whatever. Sometimes we go to the orphanage. It just depends. Like this week were going to a members to help them with yard work. And by the ways i love that family. Ya i know english class in Dar was fun. And i miss those guys and some of the crazy questions they would ask me. You know any english word they would find they would bring it to me and ask me what it means. It got hard when they were taking rap lyrics and asking me what they meant. Or they ask me a few swear words and tell me to explain. You know its kinda crazy to think that i was there a year ago. Doesnt seem that long ago. ya we had to go to a big mizugu market to meet an investigator. Seemed that our contacting did pay off. But anyways ya there is some nice mizugu things there that i didnt even know they had here. It reminded me of home too much and was even making me feel uncomfortable. Im still very much excited for jimmy. The guy who came to church. The guy who looked up the church on the internet. And by the ways that guy is awesome. He is powerful investigator. Although he has a sad story. He is a refugge. He is from congo. Some people had a dissagrement with him. And they wanted to kill him, so they went to his home, and he wasnt there but his wife and kid were. And when they didnt find them, they killed his wife and kid. So he had to leave the country. Kinda intense stuff. But it was good to share the plan of salvation with him. He was happy when i told him he could see his family again. But all i know is that that guy is powerful. And he wants to be baptized by the ways. He asked me on sunday after he told me he got his answer when he prayed about joseph smith and the book of mormon. So ya as you know it was a pretty awesome experience. He is excited to be baptized and wow he is very smart. He understand things. Esh he think on every word you say. Ha on church even he was contributing in sunday school, and priestood. People thought he was member. Kinda funny since thats only his second sunday there. But ya this week should be an awesome week. We get to see conference on saturday. And im excited for it. You know last october i never got to see the preistood session, kinda bummed me out. But i hope i will get to this time. Anways ill talk to you next week.
love, matt.
