This place is no joke!
Ah I’m freezing worse here than in Eldoret. Ah I think this is the coldest place in the mission. Ah it rains a lot here. And when it rains it gets cold. It can get warm sometimes but for the most part I’m freezing. So ya Sister Hall is cool. I’m glad she sends the photos to you. And ya I got lucky the Halls gave me a ride down from Nairobi so it was a lot better than taking a bus. But ya I get to go to Mombasa for zone conference and I’ll see Munatsi he is still there. I’m super excited to see him, have not seen him in like 7 months. I still call him a lot though. so i wish i could have been there at Phil’s baby blessing but you know these things are just there.
So anyways ill tell you about my area. I'm in the bush! ha it takes like and hour and half drive to get the closest cyber! As for my area we are according to me now known as mountain climbers. The area I’m in is called Kyambeke and Ilima. live in Kyambeke. Sunday we went to church at Ilima and that was on the top of the freaking mountain and it takes a good hour to hike up to it. I just kept thinking you would have loved it. It’s beautiful up there and everything is green. And you know yesterday we hike like 45 minutes up another mountain to get an appointment. So ya that’s gonna be my area hiking up mountains to get to see people. And the person who named this place hills was confused very confused these are no hills these are mountains! And they are kicking my butt everyday.
But ya we don’t have a cyber in our town we go far very far to this cyber and its not all that good. In fact we have not had power in our town for 5 days now. Nice ya. But our branch president is taking care of us very nice. He is our neighbor and he always comes down to our house and says elders don’t cook tonight we are making you dinner. And I’m like yes sweet! But ya as for my comp he is sweet. I love this kid. His name is Elder Mpahlele from South Africa. So ya he is my second South African comp. But he is sweet. He is making this area alot cooler. But just know I’m enjoying it here. Anyways though this place is good but I don’t like bucket showers though I’ve been taking them alot. But ya I’m just enduring these things.
But anyways my p-days are on Tuesday now and Monday is gone till I come home. Market day is on Tuesday and it’s the only time in the week where matatus run to the place where the cyber is located. I don’t know about uploading pics here this cyber is not good. So you might have to wait till I come home. Esh though I wish you could see it here. It’s all so nice.
Anyways though the area is nice and I’m loving the people. I just meet a sweet recent convert yesterday named Kelvin the guy is cool. He gave us a free ride to the other elders flat. And before that fed us alot of chapotty and beans freaking good. Anyways though ill have alot of stories to tell of this place when I come home. I already have a lot and I’ve only been here a week. Ha imagine ya that we have not had power in 5 days now. So ya thats been nice. Our phone died and we did not call in for 3 days now. Ha it does not matter anyways we don’t get any phone service here anyways. Like none at all. In fact we have not called in the past 3 days. Shows how far out here we are. But despite all that I’m having fun. This place is awesome. So ya p-day is on Tuesday now until I finish.
Love, Matt (Mountain climber)
