THE TOP 2 PICTURES are in Buru Buru from off the net....
Hey family!
so this week i was transferred. i was pretty surprised by it but i am happy about it as well. i am now with elder Lemma from Ethiopia. i was around him at the very beginning of my mission and also in Mombasa so we know each other already and are having a great time together now. i am still in nairobi but my area is a lot less of the main town then before. it is called the buru-buru area. the members in this ward are very active and love to help with the work. it makes the work sooooooooooo much easier. we have a good number of investigators here that i am still trying to get to know, but here we do spend a lot of our day teaching where my last area was a lot of finding. teaching is ten thousand times better. I think i already like this area better than the last. upper-hill was good cause i worked hard and kept busy doing the things missionaries are suppose to be doing but here we get to teach, A LOT!
i got the news that the package arrived but i haven't got it yet. we are farther from the office here and the assistants said they could bring it during the week so i didn't want to take the time to go all the way to the office and back. but i am very excited for it.
Mike, have fun in Alaska. Mom, dont freak out, he will be ok, he will come home safely. he has to. cause he has to be there when i get off the plane in November. everybody does. so everybody will still be alive and safe then. Dad, thanks for getting the information on the colleges for me. as you know i dont really have much time on mondays so it would be great if you guys could apply.
this week we were able to teach a guy named Moses. he is an amazing investigator. most people here dont read the book of Mormon the first time you ask them too and then when we ask specific questions about the reading assignment on our second visit they get embarrassed since they always say that they did read and from then on they will skim the chapter a few minutes before you get there so that they can say a few things and then tell you that the english is difficult so they didnt understand the rest. but not him. he not only read the chapter but also all of first nephi and most of second nephi. our appointments were only three days apart. he said after he read the chapter we left with him he prayed to know if it was true. he said he sat and waited for some sort of answer and then decided just to start from the beginning while he waited for an answer. He said that by the time he went to bed that night he wasn't sure exactly how he knew, but that he knew the book was true. so the next two days he read as much as he could. this guy is awesome. we will be meeting with him again on Wednesday.
i love you guys and i hope you all have a wonderful week.
Elder Harris
