Letter from Josh 30 Aug 2010



Dear Family,

The rest of the mission tour went good. Elder Watson is actually still here, he will fly out tomorrow morning, but he is in Chyulu at the district conference they are having and we didn't go to that. we got to stay here and look after the office in case there was some emergency. there wasn't any emergency. Church was good yesterday. there was a fireside on the book of Mormon after church because most members don't really know what the book of Mormon is all about. they will tell you they believe its true, but when they are asked what it talks about they cant really reply. It was pretty simple and mostly testimonies and some of the stories from the book of Mormon, but i think it was pretty beneficial to the members.
There isn't a whole lot to say about the weekend though. after the mission tour we just did a bunch of rounding up all the extra mattresses and blankets and things that we keep at our flat for the transfer week and a few other little clean up type things from the mission tour.
I am very excited for you guys to come!!! and mom, you will love it.
Sam, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! and i have to say, when you wake up you look like me when i wake up. I'm glad we have that in common. now i don't have to be the only zombie in the mornings. i knew it was only a matter of time before someone joined me.
I cant send pictures this week because i lent elder thornton my camera for the week because his broke some time ago and they were having a baptism in his area. 27 baptisms actually. all on saturday and then the confirmations on sunday. pretty amazing. i am jealous that he got to go there and i am here. but both have their perks i guess.
anyways, i love you! and i hope you have a wonderful week.
Love,
Elder Harris

p.s. i got the package today. thank you very much for the candy and insoles and everything. it was perfect
