Now that i think about it long drives are not so long anymore to me. See everytime i get transferred it always involved with a 8 hour bus ride to nairobi, followed by another 8 hour bus ride the next day. So ya long drives back home to grandma's or to logan are not long at all. Esh now i will have no problem i will just say lets go. Anyways though ya this week was good. Esh i was so proud of my son yesterday esh we had to teach alot of lessons at the church yesterday and so i told him to find a branch missionary and go teach this one guy named jared, while i went and taught another investigator with another branch missionary. And ya as it turned out both lessons went really well. And i think we are going to invite them to baptized this week. Kinda excited for it. But ya this past week was kinda tough. Had alot of opposition, or more than usual. Anyways first i had a dumb guy from north or sound dakota at a ladys house who we teach and he does not like mormons. Ha first he started attacking me and calling me bogus but me i was like dude what are you doing? So then i started calling him bogus and he was getting mad but didnt want to show it. So finally i told him i know you hate me and hate my church and you think were wrong but that still wont ever change what i know to be true. That kept him quite for a minute and while all this was happening the lady pastor came over. And that was no help at all. Esh she started at us as well. And from the time we got there till the time we left we made no progress, we bible bashed yes and it goes to show that bible bashing and arguing get no one anywhere. So we simply bared our testimoneis and prayed and left. Not sure if it helped but made me feel a little better. Not to mention a little kid early that day like ever day kept calling me mzungu or white person. So i started saying no you are the myzugu. And then he starts in english by calling me hey white guy, so i answer back hey black kid. And then his languge got very colorful for like a 5 year old. Just know he dropped the f-bomb on me like 6 times. But ya to end that day we got bounced by our last appointment. But ya that day just sucked, but luckly the week got better. after that but still alot of people that week were just not happy to see us. But ya i come to find even those experience's on mission are good and mission is still worth it. Anyways happy 4th of july by the ways! what are you guys doing for it? fire works obivious buy how about a bbq? as for us we are going to the couples flat elder and sister jorgensen and we are roasting hot dogs and haveing cake and soda and stuff. And i have some fire crackers left over from new years eve so im going to light a few of them off. just you know celebrate independence day in america. You know kenyans inpenedence day isnt tilll like december something to bad they wont match up. Thats the plan for day. But anyways as for the secret ha ya didnt work but its going down in two weeks from now......ha ha secrets secrets secrets.......
