Miracles Every Day

Hey Family,
      Man it sounds like you guys are having a summer dream! I am jealous really only slightly cause i know all that will be there when i get back. Thanks for always taking the time to write! It really means so much to see you letter in my inbox. Man i bet you really had a blast this last week. I love our family and i honestly forget sometimes how cool they really are. Matt, you are serious?! A triathlon. I am so proud and surprised. haha i just laugh out loud so hard. You havent been drinking as much coke to prepare. I know that is something that your dad would say without skipping a beat. And about the cabin, i think it is a must. Man i miss boarding so much. But this makes you appreciate those things even more i guess.
     What a awesome week it has been. Not so much on the work side of things but on the spiritual side for sure. So we had zone conference and our them was the atonement. Man i am not gonna lie i totally did work son! Man the spirit was strong. President said I gave the most powerful training in all the zone conferences this round. That made me feel real nice. Man zone conference preparation is hell but seeing the fruit of you stress is so sweet. We ate ourselves silly and learned so much. We were challenged to read the book of mormon before christmas and i challenge you to do the same. Getting the fullness of the atonement through the book of mormon. If you guys read 5 pages a day you will easily have it done before then. I love the book, and i have missed it. I have been studying the bible so much lately i have almost forgotten how much more i love the book of mormon. The funnest thing about zone conference though was to have the APs and all the other zone leaders stay at our flat. We hardly slept. I think slept is a huge exageration i believe blinked is the proper term. So i went and had a few ping pong paddles made on the street and it only cost me 3 bucks. I love Africa(kinda). We stayed up all night playing ping pong drinking coke and eating african made popcorn and  frooties. It was so freaking fun. The best part is one elder in kisumu who just came on mission also stayed with us. He is from Leeds england. Dude the kid is so freaking funny. They he says things make me laugh so hard. While were playing ping pong and it came down to game point he would say "For queen and country" hahaha i cried i laughed so hard. I also got him to say "That was one of the all time great world cup goals" ah man funny stuff. He is also a firm believer that the americans would have lost the revolution if God wasnt on our side.(Restoration) haha that one we can agree on. Man it was so fun. Did i mention the church is true? Oh in case you forgot it is.
     So like i said it was pretty full the whole week so not much work in our area. But something amzing happened. The guy i told you about who stays way far came to church. He and his 5 kids and wife. They have been saving for months to be able to make it and how amzing it was to see them make that sacrifice. Like we are talking a two hour trip(one way) and a months salary to come to church. Say it with me 1 2 3 "the church is true" Brother david got confirmed and he will receive the priesthood next week if he is not running on kenya standard time. Also we are still waiting for sister miriam to get married so she can get baptized. Brother muthoka our recent convert taught the investigators class on sunday and did a bang up job. I am so proud! He is so converted. He gave the lesson on work and self reliance. Some members were like saying that life is hard and that they deserve assistance because on their hard lives. He said no your bogus and lazy. Everyone born in this world is given the same opportunities. He told the members to quit being lazy. haha i loved it! He said there is no such thing a poor circumstances just poor lazy attitudes. The branch really needed to hear that. In our effort to reactivate people the cry for poverty is the same. They said if Luba or church money is there there they will be also. Its such a hard situation. 
    Anyway other than that we are continuing on. I love my mission!!!!!! We see miracles everyday and my love and patience is growing too! I love you all so much and thank you for the constant support!
