Habari zenu,

Well so last week I tried that day by day thing, its good but i don't really like it.  So I'm just gonna tell a couple stories. Other than the stories its pretty standard mission stuff.  Pray, walk, walk, walk, teach, walk walk walk walk, sleep, so on and so forth. Anyways Gather round Kids, it story time!!

Story #1

I've talked a little about mud huts previously.  A lot of people live in them and you kind of have to keep adding stuff to the walls to keep them sturdy so we went to an investigators house and she was spreading "mud" on the wall.  We talk with her for a little, she only speaks Swahili so I am getting about seventy five percent of the conversation, but can't say anything.  So I find out my comp is asking her what goes in the solution, then offers to help her.  Fun fact mud is a very small part of the solution.  So after using our bare hands to spread this stuff on about half the wall. I turn to my comp to ask what is in this stuff, cause i didn't understand the lady's answer.  Its cow poop and water with a little dirt.  Yeah too late to turn back now so we end up finishing the wall.  When in Kenya be Kenyan I guess. ( He was in his white shirt and slacks.)

Story #2

Me and my comp are contacting, we give a couple guys a pamphlet. Two very very drunk men see and want one for themselves, hey a contact is a contact so we give them one.  BAD IDEA. These two proceed to speak gibberish and follow us for about three blocks. We keep saying "that's great we need to leave" and pick up the pace. These guys follow us.  At this point me and elder L are running and these guys are running after us waving the book in the air and shouting something at us. I don"t know what it is but he was passionate. Suddenly we are like cross the busy road and they wont follow us, WRONG. We cross just fine these guys drunkenly run right in front of a bus and a motorcycle.  We went about two miles before they gave up and left, to this day.  I have no clue at all what they said whatsoever, twas great.

last one

There is an elder here who convinced me for the past three weeks that he was from England, only on Saturday did I find out this guy is from Murray and had been acting this whole time, yeah it was fun.

Anyways have a great week,  enjoy the snow, love you guys, happy new year

Love elder Tucker
