Week 47 DTF Nov 13

It's fun to think about this crazy kid fulfilling a dream of traveling to exotic and unknown places.  He is loving this opportunity to be in new culture, learn a foreign language and meet interesting people.  All with a deep love in his heart and a faithful commitment to our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is testifying of the truthfulness of the gospel to many every day.  What a blessing and an honor for him to dedicate these two precious years!

Hello everyone,

So we had transfers this past week and guess what? I got transferred to Nairobi, Yes i have finally entered that black hole that once a missionary enters, he never leaves. (in fact our current AP is going home soon and has never served outside of Nairobi.)
But good news is i would like to stay! This place is great, we just got done playing football with both Nairobi zones! I am now serving in an area called mountain view and it is gorgeous! The flat is amazing and doesn't have rats or any weird stains on the ceiling that leak black goo. It's nice not to have any black goo dripping on your white shirts haha. 

My new companion is from DRC the congo, and he is still learning English but he knows some Swahili so we get by just fine. His name is Elder Mbaya, which in Congolese means "first born" but here in Kenya it means "bad person." he has had a lot of heat for it haha. 

Also I got to go to the rift valley to do an interview for some other elders and it was such a view! I felt like i could see all of kenya from the view point, it was soo sick! (I will try to get pictures next time we go there.)

Also here's a funny story for you, we were waiting for a matatu to take us into town and this shoeless dirty man came up to us and started talking to us, I was genuinely interested in what shoeless guy had to say. He started off so nicely and said that I looked like Jesus, (which is an awesome compliment for a missionary because we are trying to represent the Lord.)

And i thought "hey maybe this is just a kind modern gentlemen who just thinks modern footwear is complete dross and vomit (like myself.)." 

But the conversation went for a wrong turn and then to a plummeting death with his next sentence. He then said "yes and because you look like Jesus I would like to crucify you, with ten inch nails." 

TE....TE...TEN INCH NAILS?!?!?! I mean beside the fact this guy wants me to die for his sins why ten inch nails? I mean wouldn't 7 or 8 be sufficient?!

My companion and i promptly started laughing and leaped onto the first car

that came by. Yes, shoeless guy turned out to be a complete loon, But i still stand by what i said about shoes being just about the worst thing since monkeys discovered they could fling poo. 

but Nairobi is sweet.

Much love, Jesus is the way, Keep working hard friends.

Cheers - Elder Fuller
