Sooooooooooooo hey guys.   This week we had bounces like no ones business, so what do you do when you are a white guy with a fair amount of knowledge of the gospel, you end up arguing with drunks. Here are some of the highlights.

Number 1 The good news.

So just after finished fighting off a matatu conductor ( they really don't like you if you want to walk to your house).  This drunk man starts to walk with us.  He wasn't asking for money so that was a nice change.  Anyways he asks "If we are men who work for jesus?". We say "yeah in fact we do".  Then he asks us, "is he coming here?" ." Yes" Then he gets all excited and he shouts "I KNEW IT WAS TRUE!"  I was like "what do you know"?  He is like   "Jesus is in America and he is waiting for his visa to come here!  Last I heard he was in Florida."  Then he just danced away, not walking dancing. Turns out Jesus is chilling in Florida waiting for his visa to come to Kenya; could be a few months though cause I know how pesky those visa papers are.

Number 2 Nataka kuongea na msungu pekee yake, si wewe. (I want to talk to the white guy alone.Not you.)

This was told to my companion after a drunk man came to the gate of the church and wanted to meet with us, he of course wanted money.  But he hated my comp and really really really liked me.

So after talking to this guy for about four or so minutes, we are trying to leave. This man after a little is shaking our hands and he holds mine for a little while inspecting my white skin. Then grips my hand real tight and pulls me into a head lock and starts inspecting my hair, like a mother gorilla.  Not what I meant when I said I am the real Tarzan.  Anywho I fight my way out of the headlock and this guy, goes in to kiss me on the cheek!! I am furiously pushing this mans face away from mine, but he still has is one arm grabbing mine. So I ended up kicking him in the gut, and he never made it to my face. Then I am like get in the church, so we get on the opposite side of the gate from this dude,  and we lock us in the gate of the church.  HE WON'T LEAVE!! I am a missionary so we give him a word of wisdom pamphlet ( My personal favorite for drunkards) and he proceeds to almost do the splits put his hands on his chest and say " ninakuwana mwanamke"  ( I have a woman). So we gave him another pamphlet whilst totally failing to keep a straight face. 

Number three what flavor is this?

So on Saturday we went to the duka (small store) across from our flat to get food for sunday, and some candy so we don't fall asleep in sacrament. We ended up wanting soda. I knew but I wanted soda but I wanted to try something new. So I see one that looked good and tried to find what flavor it was.  No flavor all it said was not for children.  So I am like whatever lets get it. When I reach the counter my companion is laughing his head off.  Turns out that I was about to buy some vodka mix soda. Apparently though you only have to be eighteen to buy alcohol here.  I ended up getting fanta. 

Apparently Jesus can be resurrected and appear to the apostles, John, Paul, and other people at different times in the Bible, but if he is seen in America it's a problem??? We hope to have another baptism in a few weeks. You can pray for us to find people who are searching for the truth. 

Anyways that is some highlights from my week,  tune in next week for more!
