(Old pictures I know, but sometimes I just want to look at him)Dear Family!!!
This week was good. We traveled up to Eldoret for part of the mission tour on Friday and then Saturday we picked up President Broadbent and Elder Watson from the Eldoret airport and drove them around all weekend. I was scared because President Broadbent kept talking about Elder Watson like he was this super strict guy that would just blast you for small things, but he wasnt, and it turned out to be kinda cool. but i did have to drive really slow, he wouldn't let me get out of third gear unless we were on the highway and then i still couldn't get in to fifth. I guess the cool part of it was actually getting to know him before he gave his training, because it made the training seem so much more real and you could see that it was part of who he was and not just some speech that he wrote because it would sound good to a group of missionaries.
We have another conference for the mission tour here in Nairobi tomorrow. hopefully everything will turn out well. there are still a few things out of place that we cant do anything about until tomorrow, which makes me a bit nervous because in Eldoret those things didn't go so smoothly, but i its also stuff that doesn't really matter in the end, so we will see what happens. so thats tomorrow and then friday we will be trying to get everybody back to their areas and then Saturday will be p-day. today isnt p-day for us we are still busy doing stuff for the mission tour tomorrow but we are taking a short time to e-mail. i don't even know what the rest of the transfer had in store because we haven't planned past the mission tour but i am sure we will still be busy and running around everywhere.
Everybody has started to give me marital advice lately, which i find kind of funny since i am not getting married anytime soon. I guess its because i am going home somewhat soon, but going home and getting married are two completely different things.
Dad, i also got your postcard from Argentina, quite literally just now. the mail guy just came in. he also had the slip for me to go pick up my package with. but tomorrow is the mission tour thing and Friday is a national holiday so i wont get the package till Monday or Tuesday probably. Thanks for the mail!!!!!
when we went to drop off president broadbent at the airport the other night so he could fly to Dar for the mission tour there he gave me hug and said "goodbye friend, we will see you in few days." and as we were driving back i was thinking about that and what it must have been like when we left the pre-mortal life to come here to earth. and i am sure there was something similar said. it may have been with years instead of days and i imagine it as a hug instead of a handshake, but i would imagine that the Savior sent each of us off in a similar way.
Dad, everything should be ok with that flight schedule, at least as far as the mission president and the secretary here are concerned. but i gave them your e-mail address because the secretary here has to go through some lady in salt lake so if there is anything different with that then they should e-mail you. i will tell you of any up-dates if i hear of them just in case.
I love you guys!!!!! and i hope you all have a great week!!
Love,
Elder Harris
