Hey!
First off i gotta let you guys know how blessed you are to have washing machines! hand washing all your clothes is a workout, and in this heat? forget it man I'll swim in crocodile waters to clean my clothes instead. haha.
but life here is still great. hard, but great. a couple things happened this week.
but first i wanna tell you about baboons! i haven't seen any yet because they aren't in Mombasa but one of the elders from Elderette was telling me about these guys, man they are not to be trifled with. they are just mean. one of the elders saw one grab a baby goat and take it to the top of a tree and throw it off to kill it, just for fun! another elder was on safari and was throwing peanuts out of the window and one of them jumped in the window bashed the elders face into the other window and took his peanuts and just jumped out and ate them on top of the car, he said he was bleeding pretty bad. i think they're on my list of fears now, along with turkeys and chopping onions.
but anyway! here in Mombasa there are a ton of farm animals running around freely pretty much everywhere, so we were street boarding on the corner of this dirt path all the kids take home from school and this random obese mbuzy (goat) comes sprinting out of the bush next to us and just stops SUPER SUDDENLY in front of our table that we had set up with pamphlets on it. so he looks at me, then he looks at my companion, there is no one around so we are just like "oh that's a fat goat" then he looks me dead in the face and takes a massive dump right in front of our stand, i was so mad! but before i could express my displeasure with the beast and give it a swift kick, a pack of wild dogs came flying out of the same bush he came out of just seconds before! the goat looks back at me, lets out a loud goat screech, and runs faster then i have ever seen an animal move!
( especially for how fat this guy was)
anyway! i love and miss all you guys! you're all fantastic, peace be with you!

Subject: Re: HEY!!! YOU THERE!!
hey so about that 7500 ksh, i just wanted to have money ready in case of emergency or just cool stuff i need to buy, atm charges here are crazy high so its better to pull out alot at one time! so im keeping it safe at the flat! dont worry. the only cool thing Ive bought is some leather sandals! and dont worry im keeping my matako safe, nobody is gonna trick this mzungu! but anyway. HI! i hope you and mom are doing well i didn't know if mom received my email or not but i sent her one. im
doing pretty fine. just thought i would tell you some stories and send
some pictures. (also if you want to see all my pictures you can just go
to my google drive im putting them all there.) two stories today!
ok
so we are mainly teaching less actives and recent converts but there is
this one investigator that we are teaching whose story so far seems
almost as miraculous as something out of the bible. he was lame, his
legs were messed up and he couldn't walk anywhere, he couldn't walk for
so long that his legs have deteriorated over time, as a result he
couldn't work so he was really poor, but since he started meeting with
the missionaries, (like two weeks before i showed up in this area) he
found he can walk again, i witnessed this
guy stand and walk freely! its incredible! he is a powerful man, and
his faith is immense! but that's the only miracle i have seen so far.
here are some photos.
so its bad for people not to mess with the lords anointed, as it turns out its the same for animals too.
so we were street boarding on the corner of this four way dirt path all the kids take home from school and this random obese mbuzy (goat) comes sprinting out of the bush next to us and just stops SUPER SUDDENLY in front of our table that we had set up with pamphlets on it. so he looks at me, then he looks at my companion. then he looks me dead in the face and takes a massive dump right in front
of our stand, it made me so mad! but before i could show my displeasure
with the beast a pack
of wild dogs came flying out of the same bush he came out of just
seconds before! the goat looks back at me, lets out a loud goat screech
and
books its out of there! i had no idea a goat that fat could run that
fast. the dogs literally scared the crap out of him tho. it was probably
the most ridiculous thing that happened this week. |
