So ya the hike ha these mountains are kicking my butt. But no worries they are not getting me geared up for Kings Peak. They are getting me ready for Kilimanjaro. Yep by the time I’m done here I'll be ready for it. You have no idea these mountains are getting me in shape. So anyways though as for us we still have no power here. And as of right now the power has not come back 12 days now. And it doesn’t look like its coming back anytime soon and to think some people at home can’t handle it for more than a few hours. I don’t know what my house looks like with the lights on. I might never see it with the lights on at least that’s what the people tell me. The Kenya Power Company is bogus. I’m gonna have to go and bribe to fix it faster. But you know these things are just there and I am just enduring. But no worries I’m loving all of our forced candle light dinners.

Hey the couples are nice. They baked us a cake and it was freaking nice. The halls are sweet. They live in Nairobi and drive out here twice a week. So ya it’s nice to have them around. Anyways though the work is good here. And ya imagine our branch president feeds us all the time. It’s nice we are slowly being adopted into their family. I love going over there and playing with the kids and just playing games with the whole family. It’s nice though. Although I wish you could see this place though. I know you would love it. As for the temperature its going up a little but I’m still cold. But hey I’m going to Mombasa next week for zone conference it will be hot there.

We had some baptisms this past week, 2 from us as investigators and 16 as children who are turning 8. So ya we had alot to dunk. And for confirming them, ah it took the whole hour to confirm them and I think every Melchizedek priesthood holder confirmed including me and my comp. And then after confirming we had the sacrament and then the primary program. It took up all of Sunday school so ya sacrament meeting was 2 hours long. But the primary program was good. I enjoyed it. Those kids can sing and they are loud. Loved it. Anyways though ya that was the highlights of my week. Pretty nice ya? By the ways I still have not seen conference yet. No power means we can’t watch conference. So I don’t know maybe I’ll have to just wait and see it when I come home. It’s killing me.

I’m super excited to go to Mombasa to Zone conference next week! And also I finally get to see Munatsi again. It’s been almost 7 months. But ya I finally get to go to Mombasa and see it. That’s the one place I wanted to go in Kenya so ya I’m gonna take some pictures for ya. Anyways though home sounds good. I miss home. I don’t know why but I keep dreaming of home and its killing me. Ah but you know i don’t have much longer. As for the package by the ways don’t worry about it I’ll get it. The couples live in Nairobi and they come out this way twice a week. So I’ll get it whenever it comes. But I’m gonna go for this week. Just know I’m okay and its warming up now. And next week will be hot when I go to Mombasa. Esh I’m excited. Anyways I’m gonna go for this week, I can’t wait to tell you about the climbs of this week. But I’ll talk to you later.
