Welp this week has been pretty darn awesome.  I honestly can't complain, here in Kenya you don't get packages super often, so when they come its like Christmas. I got one this week and it was great here are the highlights.

Item 1: Goldfish

Now anyone who has ever talked to me for more than a minute knows that I am addicted to goldfish, in the package was in fact Three Cotsco bags of goldfish.  After finding said goldfish I proceeded to open the bag and lay down on the floor of the church, and feast open little cheesy crackers until my interview with president rolled around. It was magnificent.

Item 2: Baking goods

So my flat in this mission is one of kind living in it is a privilege. You see we live next to a deserted couples flat, and the mission told us they were closing it down.  So we did what every normal 19 year old missionaries living in Kenya would do, we ransacked everything and took all that we can lift, which includes but is not limited to, a clothes dryer, a washing machine (broken, don't worry Le Chem, I will keep my promise, hands only.)a few rugs, posters, new study desks, chairs, and finally AN OVEN.  In the package was brownie mix and muffin mix. Yesterday I made brownies from an oven for the first time in almost ten months. they were amazing, i drank them with milk in a bag, and it was great.  Also to show respect for my trainer ( cause I know he would've loved to be there), I cleaned the bowl with my magic tony the tiger spoon we fished out of a rice krispies box my first day in Kenya.  It too was magnificent.

Item 3: Double Stuff Oreos

Here in Kenya, regular oreos are pretty easy to come by, however double stuffed oreos are more precious to some of us mzungus than gold.  After opening the package of the delicious cookies, we ceremoniously passed them around the district and all thoroughly enjoyed, the chocolate icing. It too was magnificent. 

These were some of the highlights of my box, funny thing though, my body is used to african food now so after eating the brownies, I felt super sick, but it was soooooooooooo worth it.  It has been so long since I've had good brownies. I have most of them in a tupperware so I can share them with my district today.

Had an awesome baptism this week as well.

Momma-

Ok before you freak out let me give you the details of the whole Kenya politics.  The government as of now is Jubilee, mostly made of a tribe called the Kikuyu's.  The tribe I was adopted into. They have been in power for about ten years.  Now the other two major tribes the Luo's and the Luya's don't like giving the power to the Kikuyu's because they don't help all of Kenya as much as they help the Kikuyu's.  So when Jubilee won the election it went to court, and it was found out that somehow Jubilee cheated and rigged the election.  So another election will be held in two months because of the evidence found against Jubilee.  Mostly people have been super happy about it, and those who support Jubilee, have been peaceful so really everyone is safe and fine, there is no problem whatsoever as of now. We are all safe. Teron
