Letter from Josh 18 January 2010



hey family!!!

this week was. . . i dont know. i feel wierd today because i got transfered, and i am already in nairobi now. i got called on saturday and they told me that i needed to go and buy a bus ticket for myself for monday. we dont normally get transfer news until monday night. so i would just be finding ot today, but they wanted me to travel down with elder patty, who finished his mission and was traveling down for his plane ride. i am in nairobi in an area called upperhill. my area includes the mission office and the main city center/buisness part of nairobi. it should be interesting, mombasa was a city, but we didnt ever work in the main city, just on the outskirts. but here i will be forced too, it should be a fun new adventure.
last week was good though, its just wierd to think of it in the sense that i will never see most of those people ever again. but goergina impressed me even more this week. they gave here a gospel principals book last week and she already read the firts 100 pages, plus her reading in the book of mormon. she is nuts, in the best way possibe. i am just sad i wont be able to see the end of the story. we met with a bunch of other really good people as well but she definitly stood out.
my new comp is elder Sithole (see-tole-eh). i am excited for him. we were in the mtc together and got along really well there so i am stoked.
mom on your blog you said you heard a qoute that says "love turns off fear." cool qoute. look up fear in the bible dictionary and then look at d+c 6:36. that should keep the thought process working for a bit.
anyways, i have to go, its late because i spent most of the day on the bus. i love you guys!!! hope all is well!

Love,
Elder Harris
