Hey family!
This week was pretty good. it was the last week of the transfer, so we will be getting transfer news tonight. but i dont think i will be going anywhere. we had some baptisms on sunday which was really good. there were two for my area but technicaly only one because the second was a girl that was taught by other missionarys and came here to be baptised because her family stays here and her records will be in the ward of the people that taught her. then the other missionarys in the branch (the ones that i had to show around at the beggining of the transfer) also had two. one of them was a lady i had been teaching and then handed ovr to them, so that was good to see. and then the other was somebody that they found on their own and that is totally commited and awesome so bada-bing one month later and she is baptised. Its funny how some areas can have so many baptisms and others have so few when missionarys are doing their best in both areas. my first 3 months i had 1 baptism then in arusha i had 6 in 6 months and i have been here for 4 1/2 and have had 15. these people are just ready here. which is funny because mombasa is like 80% muslim and 5% hindu. but the ones that are christian are coming fast. its a major blessing.
The rest of the week was kinda just normal. We had to go do some shopping for the new flat. or pricing anyway. we still have to send a list of all the stuff we need with the prices to one of the couples so that they can send us the money to go and buy the beds and couch and stove and etc. We should move in sometime this week. but that will also depend on when we get the money and when the electricity is connected.
We finally got the general conference ensign! i know its like two months later than you all got to hear them but it makes me excited since we dont get to see it here. i havent finished it yet, i am jus starting the sunday morning sesion, but it has all been good so far. i am excited to finish it because most people tell me that their favorites have been from the sunday sesions.
i love you guys. if i get transer news and anything is changing for me (once again i dont think it will but you never know) ill try to come back to send that message to you but i cant promise anything.
Love your guts! you are all my favorite!

P.S. my mom was right. i dont mind that she is a bit obsesive of me and that she freaks out if i e-mail a day late. i thinks its funny, plus its because she loves me. what could be better than that
