Letter from Josh 10 May 2010

Hey!!!
It was great to talk to you all!!! spencer and sam just made me keep laughing. and i have to say that i am proud that they are still playing pokemon. however if my yellow version isnt thee when i get home i am going to be extremely angry. i'm happy that meg has a plan that makes her happy and sounds like it will work out well. although meg always has a plan, its mike that needs to work on the plan thing, but thats part of what makes him fun so i dont know that he should work on it too hard. i wish i would have been able to talk to him. he is the only one i didnt get to talk to. but in 6 months i will get to not only talk to but BE with all of you.
The week went pretty well. we had some people disapoint us though. Moses was suppose to be baptized on saturday but he didnt come. and now that he is starting school again (the have a month long break every year that starts on easter weekend) it will be hard to meet with him because the school system here is bogus and he has school from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm. and they would they would keep them longer but then the schools would have to provide dinner too and nt just lunch and they still have a lot of homework when they get home. lets just sum it up by saying that i am glad i didnt go to school here. but also brian, brenda, and doreen asked the exact same questions the last three times we have been there and we were shocked as the answers seemed new to them each time. just when we thought they were progressing well we realize they aren't hearing anything we say. however we got an awesome referal from one of the member familys. his name is david and he kept calling the mom of the member family his sister but in kenya that doesnt mean that they are actually related in any way. if you dont say that somebody is part of your family its a huge insult and basically says you hope never to see them again. so we are still trying to figure out just how they know each other. but david seems like a great guy and we will see him later this week so that is good.
so ironically just as i hung up the phone with mom the guy from the good cyber calls to let me know he will be there in five minues so that i can skype with my mom. his cyber is normally open all day, but today for whatever reason that he isnt saying, probably cause i am angry with him and his excuse is stupid, he didnt open till about five. but i got to talk to her and that made me happy. the whole family seems to be doing so good. i'm grateful God is helping all of you o be happy and well. i'm gratefull that i get to have all of you as MY family. i'm not going to lie. yesterday morning i had no desire to go home in any way. it all just seemed so wierd and different and scary. now i am excited to come home, i forgot how funny you all are and how much fun it is to be there. but i still am glad i have another six months here. and i dont want to come home now. i still have work to do, people to meet, and ways to grow. i love my mission for what i have learned here. i love it for the people i have met. i love it because it has made me apreciate all of you so much more. i love you all! have a great week!
