GORGEOUS JOSH one his one year birthday....Whats up Family?
I have to say it, i hate you all for going on a cruise without me, like two days after my birthday. My birthday sucked, but was fun at the same time. I came down with malaria on Thursday (mom dont worry, its not actually malaria, but Kenyans call everything malaria, from a headache to cancer, if you are sick in anyway, it is malaria). so Thursday and Friday i was down and out. and then i gave it to my comp so Saturday and Sunday he was down. but Friday the DL and his comp came and stayed with us so that they could do exchanges with the elders in Bamburi the next day who live too far to travel to all at once. so we played monopoly for a few hours on Friday night and it was dope. never thought that monopoly could bring so much joy, or heartache as i eventually lost, into my life. but when you have been sick and bored out of your mind for 48 hours, it works wonders. Elder Hansen and i played some on our own Saturday and Sunday awhile he was still not well. and we may play again today, but we will see if we have time.
but being sick made this week useless as far as the work goes. we went out Tuesday and Wednesday, and basically just tracted those days. then Sunday we set a bunch of appointments at the church and went straight home after that. the good news is that we will still be havin 3 baptisms next Sunday. all of them are children of people that are already members. Eulontine is the son of the elders quorum president and he is 13 and then Mathias and Brian are the step children of this 75 year old guy from Idaho that moved down here and got married and his new wife was baptized a bit before i got here. the situation couldn't be more awkward and questionable to me. but at least the wife and kids get to learn about Christ and the restoration. Mathias is 16 and Brian is 11. it should be a good week. better than being sick anyways.
i hope you guys have fun on the cruise and that mom doesn't get sea sick and that you get to eat enough. be sure to eat extra for me since i wont be able to eat any of what you are eating there. i love you guys!
Elder Harris
