Week 4 DTF Jan 19 2017 Nairobi Welcome



Good morning Brother and Sister Fuller,
Elder Fuller has safely arrived in our mission.  We were excited and happy to meet him!
He arrived Tuesday, January 17 in the late afternoon, received training all day Wednesday
and then left for his first area this morning.  I am attaching a letter from President Msane
and a photo of him with President and Sister Msane.  (Actually, I’m sending two photos.)
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me!

Sister Torrie

Daniel has arrived! The Mission President has assigned him to the Mombasa District where he will start his first assignment.  This is right on the Indian Ocean and I could not resist posting some tourista type pictures here just to see the lay of the land.  He will be able to write next Monday but we did get some pictures here at the welcome dinner they had for the new elders just arriving from Johannesburg mTc.  He looks tired but still the same ole Dan as you can see from some of the pics.  I am anxious to hear about his adventures and how he got to Mambasa. It is pretty far from Nairobi but we shall see. Kenya is similar in size to TX, so it looks like quite a drive and that will be a story in itself. It's all about being patient and waiting sometimes! I am so thankful to hear such great news today!!  And we got to hear from Rachel too!  

Emails are great but I know he would be very pleased if you would send him a handwritten letter. When the elders get to the mission home, rarely, but when they do, they always love to have some mail waiting for them.  Daniel really appreciates your letters and they actually do arrive all the way south of the equator!  (Address above - send as written)

Heads above the rest, he will always stand out and not just for his height.  They say the missionaries really stand out here.  Hopefully they are outstanding as well.  Outstanding in the field is even better, I'm so punny.





Right on the coast.

Look how close it is to the equator!!

It is going to drive Daniel nuts not being able to get in that water or ride that camel!

Apparently they have very big elephants in this region.

I wanna ride a camel by the seashore in Africa!

Tired but happy!  With a fresh new pillow no less.

This elder is just in from Mombasa.  They said his hair is bleached even blonder because of the hot sun.

Bigger group.

Crazy group!!

Gentle giants in the wild, not the zoo.
