A Week of Miracles!!!

A Week of Miracles!!! 
      I love Eldoret! I love my companion! I love the people! Its like i have come home!(Kinda) Man what a great week! Okay first of all talking to you guys again was so fantastic! So there is one down fall to Eldoret, the places to email. The computers are terrible. So Thanks for sending me a voice recording, but i wont be able to hear it for a long time. I have tried to down load it on 4 different computers and they are the best most expensive place in town soooo its all emails for the next while I am here. Sorry! 
      So let me tell you about my week. Alright so tuesday was amazing. We got a call monday night from a guy who lives in Sango. A town about 40 miles from eldoret. He said he found a gospel principals book in Nairobi and was very touched and wants the missionaries to come teach him and his whole family. We didnt know this place even my companion has only been in the area for 1 transfer and his last comp was a little dead he didnt see much of it. So we have been counseled to sick to center of strength so i really was kinda sketchy on going. Even if they want to be baptized they have to be attending church and its to far for them to travel. So we kept having the feeling we need to go. So we did. So we took a matatu to a town called soy. Its about 30 miles. Then we hoped on some piki pikis and headed into the deep bush! Along the way i wash thinking this is crazy we dont even know anything about this cat! But we finally arrived in a little town called Sango. And by town i mean 2 buildings. There we met a lady who spoke perfect english who said her husband is Wycliff, the guy that called. So we took a walk. We walked for about 45 minutes. before reaching their place. So along the way it was the prettiest green place ever! The trees were growing in an arch over the roads. So cool! So we get to his house that is like on the top of a hill over looking a huge beautiful valley. Like so green and the mountains are just awesome. It was like a movie! So i head somthing kinda loud so asked wycliff what the noise was, he said its waterfalls. just 5 minutes walk from his home is like 40 foot water falls. I think i might buy a mud hut there! So we go into his home which was not made of mud, it was a legit nice nice house. He has turkeys chickens ducks cows and the biggest personal garden i have ever seen. So we go into his house and sit in his giant living room. He has a full book self in there that is labeled "the church of jesus christ of latterdays saints library. He has hymn books, books of mormon, Gospel principals, ensigns etc. Like my heart started pounding when i saw that. So he sits down with his wife and kids and tells us his story. He found a gospel principals book in Nairobi in a trash can at a bus stop while traveling to his home.He read the whole thing and called the number and connected him to salt lake. He talked to a girl who was from kenya but serving in salt lake on her mission. She directed him to a branch in nairobi he could attend. He was taught and baptized and now lives deep in the bush. He got married and had children and teaches them everyday. They read the book of mormon as a family every night and hold their own little church service in that living room. It was amazing. He told me to ask his three year old daughter who is the living prophet and of course she said thomas s monson. I cant believe some peoples faith. He said he even pays his tithing and fast offering. His tithing he sends to the branch in nairobi where he was baptized and fast offerings he pepares meals for his really old neighbor who doesnt have anything. Man i cried! So we taught his family how to conduct music because thats all they are lacking at this point. So i taught the mama how to lead and we sang hymns for like an hour. Thanks to sister worthen i am awesome at leading music now. So this man called the mission pres and invited him to his home. Pres B says we will go together when he comes to Eldoret next. Man i love my mission.
       Next I got a call from brother David. A baptism i had in mombasa. He said he is a branch missionary and spoke in church on baptism. I was so happy. He said he has already got his passport and everything preparing for his mission in Jan. Exactly 1 year after his baptism. Man that one i cried like a baby. He is so converted to the lord.
      Next we contacted a guy named timothy. He is a very lonely sad guy about 45 years old. He has allot of problems in his life. We invited him to church and he was there 30min early. He participated in classes and loved every minute of it. So when we contacted him we gave him the joseph smith pamphlet and he said he had read it 5 times. and when he showed it to me it looked like it went through a washing machine. He asked for a book of mormon and we taught him the restoration through out the week. He came again to church 30min early. I am just astounded by this guy. You can see he hasnt eaten in a while and walks two hours to church and has never once asked us for money. In elders quorum we had a lesson on prayer. The teacher asked if anyone had recieved a answer to a prayer lately and would like to share. Timothys hand was the first one up. He stood up which was kinda cool and told everyone that he prayed about the book of mormon and knows its true. He said he has never felt such love before in his life. He teared up and said he has found god and knows this church is true. Man we arent doing anything the lord is doing this work for his children. Timothy is getting baptized very soon. 
      So to top it all off we received a referral from the elders in town of a guy on the matatu who asked a few Q's. We were able to go to his home after church. He was a young guy named Jared. He is newly wed to his wife Honest. I have never seen an african respect his wife like this guy. You could just feel that they already know gospel culture. I have never felt the spirit like i have in that lesson. Once again i cried they cried we all cried. They were so interested in life after death we talked allot of the Plan of Salvation. They are coming to church next week and want to be baptized. Man i am turning into a softy out here.
      So that was my week. Probably the most spiritual on mission so far. So a little bit about Eldoret. We have 4 branches here one has a chapel and they have a district. Its sooo nice. We have a senior couple here called the Babcocks. Sister babcock is nice but that elder babcock is a little different. I wont say anymore about that. haha They just are still learning culture and that Africans are smart and educated people too. hahaha members dont like them which is a little problem but we are praying for them. I wish the Worthens could have just transferred with me. haha
       Oh oh oh so another thing. So we have a big yard where we stay and i planted a rather large shamba!(Garden) I planted the squash that maria sent and i found watermelon cantaloupe and Sweet corn. Pssh who knew right! So  i will up date you on how that goes. haha
     So that has been my week. This place is so good! There are some problems in the branch but we are working well with members to get it fixed up quick. I love you guys and hope you are doing so good. Man i am really lost in the work here. Its like i am back in mombasa again.
     IMPORTANT!!! Okay so Matt Meree if there is any way humanly possible to pick me up from this place in just over a year from now that would be so amazing! I can give you all the info in the world but unless you are here you will never understand. As long as you can pay for flights everything else is not a problem. We can stay with couples and I know every form of transport for hardly anything and members will feed us. It would be so cool if that is anyway possible. think about it and get back to me!
   Well i love you guys I hope you had a fantastic week. I pray for you guys everyday and again thank you so much for all your support and all you do for me. I love you guys!
