Want a good leg workout? Laundry. Want a good Arm workout? Laundry. Need Socks? Laundry.

So I am not exactly sure why but recently I have love to do laundry, no clue why it kills your hands but it is just so fun.  Yes I am crazy, I know it, I live it, I love it, be jealous.  How's it going though, everyone doing fine? Great let's get started.

Lets see how much cocoa we can make Elder Tucker drink

For the record the answer is five cups, and I cannot feel my tongue at all.  Had a straight pili pili (chili pepper) yesterday, nothing no reaction, it was kind of cool.  We get a lot of cocoa or soya which is way better btw here in Kenya.  Every appointment they we had they gave us some.  As a white guy in 87 degree weather drinking chai ( chai means tea, but really it is used for any hot drink, so when people say chai tea, they just say tea tea) is not great, after our third appointment and fourth cup of chai. I was sweating like a polar bear in Jamaica. Then we got bounced so we visited a member in the area, she loves loves loves missionaries.  We stop in and guess what she gives us, soya.  so we drink one and say thanks and start to leave when she says " Elders, nimesifuraha, kwa sababu mjamliza thermos" she is not happy because we haven't finished the thermos. so we drink another cup of chai, give some to the cat, cause we are done. We go give some to some other dude in the compound and return the thermos.  I was super super hot all night ( I mean I always am, but in a different way this time.)

BAPTISM! ( and the surprise)

We got another baptism this week and it was super super awesome! So we cleaned out the font, and the church on Friday. One problem no power, no power means no water pressure, no pressure, no font.  So we found one faucet that kinda worked and filled up the bottom of the faunt then went home cause it was eight o clock and we have to be home by eight, African rules. So in the morning still no power, so we turn on the generator, get some hoses and start filling it up. But it was not going super strong so we ended up filling it up mostly with buckets, it was super fun.  Now earlier in the morning we got a surprise call from President Msane ( not usually a good sign) he wanted to go on splits with us that evening and said he would be there around five, so we hastily cleaned the apartment and confirmed appointments. In the middle of the baptism (around three) in walks President and Sister Msane.Now the Branch president is all flustered and nervous, the branch mission leader is having the hardest time speaking, and Pres. Msane doesn't speak swahili so they are trying english and doing alright but swahili is easier for them.  The baptism goes smooth and president was very complimentary.  It was my first time in the water with someone so that was nice to hear.  Then we went to the appointment, which went awesome.  The investigator only really spoke swahili so I got to show off my new skills to the big man, it was dope. Then on Sunday B. was confirmed, it was awesome!

These are the highlights of my week. I am absolutely loving Kenya, everything about Africa is amazing, for those of you waiting for a call pray for Kenya.  Its "The mission for men", that's a quote by a general authority not the missionaries here. 

ninapenda wote, asante sana kwa mombe yene, barikiwe
