(I will be able to Reply to your emails tomorrow) Also you look lovely in the photo of you with the flowers thanks you
Dear Dad,
I saw the picture of you with the fence and it looks awesome!
Man your new bishop sounds awesome. He hit the nail on the head with that one for sure. This mission stuff is no joke. But its all good! I know i have y'alls prayers lifting me up so it all works.
Love you guys so much! (google translate has got to chill, i don't now half of those words haha.) I certenly know paramende though, thats all the kids say when they see a white guy "MZUNGU! paramende! paramende!" and then i say Cina paramende pole sana! sasa nina jua unakwana paramende! (I don't have candy i am very sorry! now i know that you have candy!) then i hold my hand out asking them for candy and they dont know what to do hehe.
But i dont have to much time today sadly. Today we went and helped a sevemala (carpenter) member make some wood carvings for his business. also the rains have come and i haven't seen the sun in two weeks, it makes drying my clothes hard haha but its all good. Love you so much! I cant wait to see y'all next week!
Love- Elder Fuller

| And the rains came! These are amazing and I wonder if they were helping him carve them or learning to carve one for themselves to take home. When Daniel was in Tonga with Hefy, last summer, he gave all of his clothing and everything he brought with him away. I sense he will do that again and bring home cherished relics in his suitcase instead. NOTE: The fine print says I wish he had brought the longer basketball shorts...to the knee millenials...to the knee!! (snowing down south) |

| Our neighbors installed an 8ft fence and we installed a 6ft. The taper is behind the tree but I think it looks pretty good since we didn't have a choice, ha. |

From Elder Tucker's Blog:
Well I am not sure why Elder Fuller and I have started doing what is said on the subject line, but we have been doing it all week. So I had to put it as the subject, I just had to. Things in Mombasa are really really wet! Thanks for the prayers. We have been exploring the area 1 because there are literally lakes sprouting up everywhere! and 2 because the jungle is really pretty in the rain so we try to stay in the more forested areas. For some stories this week was pretty good. One day we went to work in a Shamba and it was on the riverside at the edge of the Jungle and the sky was all rainy, it looked exactly out of a scene from the tarzan movie it was beautiful! Sadly I didn't have my camera that day. Then we got to work in a Kamba and make word carvings. I will share some pictures to show you my work. Big highlights of our week.
1: Im already wet screw it!
So on our paths that we walk we are now having to like dodge and work our way around these little ponds around here. A lot of them are next to an area called Haller park which is just a jungle where all these cool animals live. In the morning I left my jacket back at the flat cause the rain looked like it was going to go away soon. ( More proof god has a sense of humor) anyways so the WHOLE day it is pouring. Whilst walking by one of these puddles I see it would be pretty hard to get across but it is a perfect set up to try to wall run, my thoughts on this matter were " if zuko can do it than so can i!" So i give my bag to my companion, get a running start, and I'm going pretty fast... slip in some mud, and end up in the worst swan dive of my life into straight mud and water. Elder Fuller died laughing and so did I cause at that point, that's about all you can do.
2: "Elder, look at what you have been reduced too."- Elder Fuller
Alright so for some background, sometimes the water at our house is kinda like YEET and just doesn't work. This was one of those times. As well the water from the filter is super salty so we have to buy our own drinking water, which was empty at this point. So all of our three cups were dirty, and I was really thirsty, but couldn't wash one. We had a little bit of drinking water left over from me making soya the night before, so I decided to put all the ice I had made into this little frying pan, and drank out of that, and it worked really well, Elder fuller was not impressed. I didn't help that I also was walking around the house hunting flies with my shoe, but hey we have a good time here in Kenya.
Anyways I am doing awesome, still having a whole lot of fun. I will share some pictures with you guys.
Have a great week, y'all are awesome
