I am always so amazed to learn how a mission is opened in a new area. This article about Chyulu where Daniel is serving now is just extraordinary! I happened upon it from another missionary momma and how grateful to be able to read such amazing miracles that took place in opening the Kenya Nairobi mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hello everyone!
So sorry it's been so long, I will repent and try harder to email every week!
Much has happened since i last emailed but i will just include some of the fun stuff that happened this past week so i'll try not to write a novel.
Story Moja,
My companion Elder Shongwe and I have to ride ride to makutano or darajani every week for the meeting of the district which is where all the missionaries get together to plan and help each other out. It is about a 5 mile ride to makutano and about a 10 mile ride to darajani, so we see alot of things along the way. a couple days ago we were riding and past a borehole and a crazed donkey moving faster then the speed of light came out and t-boned my comp harder then a train pummels a big bag of flimsy spoons. after he picked himself back up about 4 ancient looking mamas came from no where just saying "pole sana, pole, pole." (sorry) And a small shepherd boy who couldn't have been older then 5 yelling about how foolish the beast was in swahili "PUNDA MJINGA WEIWEI!!" It was wild. He is totally fine. on a separate occasion i saw a group of baboons gathered around the remains of something they had just killed. Guess it's just a bad part of the bush haha.
Story mbili,
It was elder cox's birthday last week and we got together to celebrate. And as it is customary here in kenya we were going to wash him. yes washing people on there birthday is weird but it;s just what you do. He is an mzee on mission, of course he knew it was coming so he was on edge. After getting a bite to eat Elder shongwe and i ran back to the flat and filled up buckets and hid ourselves in the crevasses of the compound laying in wait for him. he came in and I drenched him pretty good, then shongwe got him, he started chasing me around but i was much to quick and he was much to slippery for that. he finally stopped just outside the door of the flat and i was inside just dying, then a title wave of water came from above like Niagara falls hits a floppy wet noodle, ...Elder musonda was on the roof... My powerful zoneleader. then out poped elder bandi and waranga with water guns giving me enough time to fill my bucket for one final straiff run, Elder cox was dead on the ground when it was done. haha.
okay enough of the none sense.
We had transfers on Saturday and i got transferred, not far though. i am still in the same district but im now serving in mtito andei with elder bandi. it's nice because i can now buy peanut butter and meat in my area. I will miss mbukoni so much though the people are the best i've ever met. i was sitting in sacrament meeting just looking at all those amazing people i have come to love so much. i got to see brother mutie my recent convert blessing the sacrament for the first time. It was just a great day. but i know we will be killing it in mtito.
I love/miss all of you guys so much!
Cheers - Elder Fuller
