NOT DEAD YET!

So sorry I didn't email last week.  I was on a bus for ten flipping hours, but I had my uke so it was chill.  Travels were just long, but it was fine.  and no still not dead. New Area Kitengela,in Nairobi. New comp. is Elder M. he is a cool dude. I like spending time with him.  He is from South Africa, where Jer is serving. Maybe I can learn Xhosa. But you don't really want to hear about travel plans, you just want to hear some STORIES!!

1:Alma 34:33 don't procrastinate

To spare you most of the details, I was not ready for this set of transfer news, like at all!  My companion had been in the area for a long time, and I thought for sure he was going, so did he.  My comp. decided to do all his laundry on Saturday, cause it takes a couple days for everything to dry thoroughly.  I thought that was fine.  Then the big man decided that he'd best teach a lesson in procrastination, and I got transferred. (Thanks Heavenly Father). I packed everything faster than I ever thought I could, left Monday morning, and got to  my new area wearing my last pair of clean clothes.  Only to arrive at my new flat to the wonderful phrase, "We have no water again"  so after getting water I had to wash everything... needless to say washing for two hours straight is never a fun job. and my hands  HURT. Respect those washing machines man, they are a true blessing.

2:  SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *thud* "oh she must've fainted"

So one of our own KNM warriors was coming home to Kitengela(my new area) this week.  So the branch had a party for him.  They needed some help clearing all the food, we knew a few people who could help with that. While me and my companion were destroying a whole chicken and like ten chapatis in the kitchen, the other party members were watching a scary movie in the front room.  There was another YSA there, that was just a funny dude, he kept scaring people.  Well at one point it was very suspenseful, and we just see this YSA, run from the kitchen into the front room screaming, then everyone was screaming, and all we hear is a big thud... then the quote.  Yeah dude literally scared the crap out of this young women that she fainted, she woke up a minute later PISSED!! but it was quite funny.  Everyone is a okay though.

One quote I got told this week I would like to share, was "you can judge a book by the cover, but don't think you know the whole story".  I just thought that was kinda powerful and I wanted to share it.

Love you guys!!

"Alma 34:33 And now as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end:for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed."

Thanks to Sister Msane who emailed Mom last week, so I wouldn't worry.
