Elder! Check out my new horse!

Welcome welcome, so this week was pretty good!  Lots of biking and doing random stuff; all my clothes are intact so that is super cool!  Craziest thing though, whilst biking through an area with a ton of coconuts I saw an african swallow pick up a coconut and fly towards England!  One mystery solved! (Per mom-Monty Python reference. The twins for an unknown reason memorized that movie). Anyways here are some more adventures for you.
Story number 1: More Coconuts
Elder Zingoni hastn't had a lot of coconuts, and they are flippin cheap here so we ended up getting some.  Anyways so when I ate my coconut I started trotting around my house clanging them together, than yelling at my comp to admire my steed.  He was extremely confused.  I still have not explained myself but randomly I just run around the house with my coconuts and every time I reach the room I want I shout "DISMOUNT!" It has been super fun.
Story number 2: Still not immune from moving vehicles even in Kenya!

I have said before matatus are crazy drivers, so it makes life on a bike very interesting.  Whilst riding through Bamburi town on Saturday I was going by a matatu who didn't look in his mirror, then started going towards the side of the road I was on.  My bike has pedal brakes which I am not used to; so I try to slow down and get out of the way but before I can my bike tire hits his door. I go tumbling after rolling about fifteen feet I got up, went grabbed my bike, made sure everything was working on it, and it was all good.  Then I checked myself and all I got was a small scratch on my arm. Then all these drunk guys start yelling at the conductor for me it was super sweet, one good thing about being a white african ( I am not a mzungu anymore cause I speak the language) is the drunks love you! If needed they will fight for you. (Explanation-Teron was out running prior to his mission and jumped on a moving car that luckily didn't hit him because he jumped on the hood. He was only bruised up. Thank goodness.)
Other than that week has been pretty okay thanks for all you guys do.  To all of you who are Dads out there, Happy Fathers Day.  I know that my dad has been the most influential person in my life. I love him so much for it! Dads keep doing what your doing!
