FINAL EMAIL FROM JOSH IN AFRICA

Hey!!!!

So i dont know if mom and dad will be checking their e-mail before they leave for the airport, but i thought i would write just in-case. This week was great though. the kilungu hills were awesome. I have always said i liked the rural places better than the city and this week just reaffirmed it. we would hike through the hills about two to two and a half hours just to get to the area and then it would be about an hour hike between appointments and then the two to two and a half hour hike back. i think i got shin splints from it, but it was still worth it. one of the days we just went and helped a guy in his "garden" (it is in quotations because of how big the garden is, but it is too small to call it a farm, but all of it is worked over by hand so it is quite the project) the whole day. we spent the whole time just manually tilling the ground so that they could plant it the next day. it was a pretty physically intense week, but it was one of my favorite weeks of my mission.
Today we are just organizing for transfers and trying to get everything done that we would normally have done throughout the week. it will be a busy day, but not necessarily anything super fun to tell you about, just office work.
I love you all sooooooooooo much. i cant believe i will be seeing some of you tomorrow and the rest in about a week. its crazy, absolutely crazy. i really dont think i believe it still. anyways, have an amazing week and i will see you all soon!!!!!

Love,
Elder Harris
