Welcome Elder Fuller! DTF Dec 28 2016 Johannesburg MTC

I know one of the Nairobi Missionary Mommas was concerned since she didn't hear anything from her son in 3wks.  They worked hard to get her some news.  He had been helping the survival of babies and new mothers organization of some sort.  Things are different there, he will be giving up all forms of technology including microwaves, although some elders have them.  They definitely have to wash their clothes by hand and hang them out to dry.  Also I know they have to be in before 9 at night when the animals start coming out.  He read a story from a previous set of elders that told of getting out of the mission office a little late.  They were almost to their fence which surrounded their house and heard the hyenas behind them whooping at each other to come in for the kill.  He said it was a matter of him getting the key in the lock in time without dropping them, he opened it just in time.  Very harrowing experience and one that he learned a lesson from immediately.  Obeying the mission rules is paramount in any area, but especially Kenya!

So happy to hear from Daniel:

Hey! i made it alright! turns out it is the longest flight delta offers! im safe here in the MTC i was on the plane with four other elders! their all awesome! i can email yall more on Tuesday. love ya! bye!

Short and sweet...to the point.  I hope this isn't foreshadowing of things to come.  
It appears I will have Monday Pday, Tuesday Pday, and Saturday Pday.  How am I going to get anything done?!
