WEEK 5

Letter to MOM:

So we have been teaching lessons, its almost entirely in Swahili so I really cant tell you anything else about them...

Our days usally look something like this: wake up, shower breakfast etc.

I study Swahili for 1 hour then we have comp study (where elder Otika informs me about our investagtors that he will be teaching :P)

We usually leave about 12:00 then walk for about an hour to someones house that is a ways away, usually a less active member, then we walk back stopping at various homes to teach lessons and meet new people

About 6:00-6:30 we arrive back at home (it gets dark about 7 so we can't really proselyte anymore, We are allowed to be out until 8:00) and then walk down to the market to pick up food for dinner then we get ready for the night and I study more Swahili and such.

Everyday we go to a different area and we rotate which area we areas we are going to so every Tuesday we are a specific hill/area etc.

my companion (Elder Otika) is a Kenyan native from a town call Eldorid (I think) which is northwest of Nairobi. He is a little soft spoken but can be pretty crazy to haha. His favorite movie was Pirates of the Caribbean  and he quotes it a lot, its funny.

Letter to Dad:

Jambo! to you too! (its with an a :P)

I will remember mom next time I fast and in my prayers, hopefully it works out well.

Kyambeke is a very beautiful area and I am grateful for that, its nice to have a good view after we spend an hour hiking up a hill. I look forward to being able to speak Swahili so I can actually help in the lessons! (the mtc really needs to teach Swahili because its is 100% necessary to learn here haha)
