Let's see where to begin, where to begin....

Well Christmas was a blast and I will give you a couple stories form there in a sec. I loved talking to my family.  Sadly I missed jeron so that was a little bit of a bummer.  A New Years was just as loud and startling as it was last year, but I was a tiny bit more prepared this year.  I celebrated with a box of grape juice, and ice cream it was nice.  but I know you came here for some stories, so I won't let you down.... dkl;atihwe;rfeahrfjodkjfa; ( just because)

1: Singing guitar

After all the festivities of christmas were over, we ended up seven missionaries sitting in a circle while one missionary was strumming a song.  This then turned into us taking turns and if you had the guitar you would start singing a song at the top of your lungs and if any other person new the song they would also sing along.  IT was really fun mostly cause only one person there actually knew how to play the guitar so it was mostly just screaming and randomly strumming this poor instrument.  It got even more fun when some Elders broke out some glow in the dark neon bracelets, so we had a slight rave in the zone leaders flat. Probably the best night that I have had on my mission so far, we just kept going around the circle singing a bunch of songs of all different types for about three hours, it was awesome.

2. "Do you know where we are?" Nope! -me

So this week we were working in nakuru and trying to meet some referrals that came to us from utah.  Now I don't know what it is I did to upset utah but every referral I get from Utah lives fetching far! And in some area that I don't know.  So we call this one guy and he tells me he stays in a place called Kiamunyeki, near the Aic church.  So after getting lost like thirteen times and walking an inhumane distance, we made it to the aic Kiamunyeki church.  We give him a call for further direction, yeah he stays next to the Aic LANET church, which is about five or so kilometers away from where we are, so we again started the trek. Got lost, then finally found the church, and met with this guy, awesome dude, but getting home was also tricky so we got lost again. Needless to say I slept really good that night. Moral of the story, always get as much information as possible from people before exploring to find where they stay. 

I honestly don't know what to think about 2017. It was a year of some of my most spiritual days, but at the same time I have never had a year that has been so full of ups and downs. This year was kinda like the Rocket ride at Lagoon. I got sick-maybe food poisoning for New Years. My companion went outside to see the fireworks and almost got mugged so this year started out a little rough, but it will get better.

 

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season, and that you will have a great 2018. I mean if that is what you want, cause I can't tell you how to live your life.

till next time
