I'd like to start of this email by saying that they finally gave us something nice in our mission!! We are now driving Ford Rangers!! (Check the picture) This week we helped a recent convert open up a Family History account, they were really excited about it when we were doing it and wanted to do it for like 5 hours!! but we only gave them 1 and said we can continue another time haha!! We visited lots of members this week. Lots of less-actives and active memebers. We got nice breakfast and the branch presidents house and we did some contacting to an old couple who we had basically no way to communicate because they were speaking there tribal language and we dont speak it as deeply as they do! but it worked out in the end. We also did some other finding and found 3 other people who are intersted to know more about our church! 3 is a great number for Mautuma! Remember we are in the middle of no where! haha We are planning to have a baptism on Sunday of Sister Sharon. Her mother is a member in Buru Buru 2nd ward (where i served) but she is here schooling and staying with her aunt, who happens to be our land lord. She is a great girl and has grown up in and around the church it will be great! We are working with our other investigators and they are loving the lessons!! The work is much different from everywhere else i have served but i love it. I love the change and the new challenges i face here!! Church we are setting records i think haha!! We had 20, yes TWENTY, less-actives at church!! Church was sooooo full!!! We had 87!! That is a loooooot especially in Mautuma!! We are super excited for all the progress we are having and how the work is going!! :) I love to be a missionary!! This might sound horrible especially as a missionary. But we work with a member named Evans. He has a mountain bike and i find joy in his bike making lots of noises like it is breaking and how his chain skips. We also cleaned out Mautuma of phone credit 2900 shillings worth! for the whole zone to call home for mothers day! Also one of the best feelings in the world is when you are under your mosquito net in bed and you hear one of those pesky things trapped outside buzzing around. haaha!! Hope you all have a great week!! Lots of love Elder Merz! PS- We dont really have cars....that is the new senior couples truck in Eldoret.
