Im always having fun, kinda weird, you know everywhere i go im known as a crazy elder. Even among missionaries and elders, those who know me, know me as a crazy elder. And you know i like it, i like having fun where ever i go. As for me im still just chilling in kisumu, not moving anywhere yet. But wow i have to say how fast time goes here. See this is my third tranfer in kisumu and wow does not feel like it. And you know im thinking my next area will be my resting place. At least thats my hope, i want my next area to be the place where i die. And you know where i want to go. So anyways church was fun yesterday. Me and elder olsen were invited to the primary, which we did attend and it was fun. We got to teach the kids give said the little stream and it was fun. Suprised me though how many songs they do know already. They sang praise to the man from memory. I was like ya you guys are awesome. But ya anyways it was just fun from a changeup of sunday school class for investigators and preistood, dont get me wrong there good but just need a little change sometime. Anyways this week was good ha on thursday we contacted a guy named oscar and he invited us to teach him at his home on saturday. Now that does happen alot but when the day comes to see them they never answer phones or tell you they are busy. But this guy the day came and he called us and asked us if we are coming still. He called like 6 times. So ya we went to see him and he was ready and had 2 other people there for us. So we taught them and they listened and wanted to know more. Esh and after that he made a huge meal for us, esh alot alot alot of food, but ya it was good though. So we told them to come to church tomorow. And guess what he did! ya he came and he liked it. We get to see him this saturday again. Pretty excited. And while this was happening another guy named andrew came, he works at the orphange we do service at everyweek. And him he wants to know more and were meeting him this week as well. Yep all i can say was it was a awesome sunday. But anyways though ya thats the highlight of last week for me. Its good sometimes when the lord just says im gonna give you these two awesome investigators, and he leaves it up to us to take care of them. Esh though makes the work alot eaiser. But anyways yesterday was funny, see we were going to an appointment and on the way to were we get matatu's we saw like 50 people all holding clubs. And we saw like 15 more people run past us with clubs not sure they were going and as we were at the bus station we saw even more people holding clubs. Still havent figured out why they were but i have to say i dont even wonder anymore. See this is kenya and these weird things happen. Like esh man i've gotten used to kenya culture. Like i no longer respect personal boundries. Esh kenyans sure dont and i have to say its rubbed off on me. But at least i have problems still holding another guys hands. Esh whenever i see that here im like no you guys stop that aint right. And esh my branch president here loves holding hands. He has tried to hold my hand like 5 times since i've been here and he has not gotten me yet. And i wont let him get me. But for my comp he just holds his hand and there is no problem .And for my old comp here ha he got him once and it was funny to watch him try and get his hand back. But ya just funny sometimes. So anyways though yep thats what i wanted to share this week,
love, matt
