This week Elder Limu and I went to Nairobi again for MLC. What a looooong ride it is. We went and stayed the night in Eldoret because we had a meeting there and then we went to Nairobi the next day. We took a shuttle (a car) instead of a coach (bus) and we got there about an hour and half faster. It is like a culture shock going from Mautuma to Nairobi. There are so many cars, people, shops, nice things, hahaha it is weird! I learned a lot from MLC and the great missionary leaders we have. The mission has really changed and we are definite stepping up as a mission! I absolutely love President and Sister Msane. They are so smart and really love each of us missionaries and help us to grow. Not much to report since MLC took about the whole week. We got more African rain storms, and extended a baptismal date to Bro. Tom. He is progressing very well, loves church, and is even singing the songs and participating in classes. He is really prepared and is understanding the truth. Being a missionary is the best thing ever 😊 So a few funny things from this week....hey Will, Luis, Spencer, or any of my Uncles....ever seen someone do an alignment for a car with ropes? Yep these guys were using ropes to try to align everything "straight" i wish you could have seen it you all would have laughed so hard! Another one....So this one comes from MLC. So it takes us in total about 14 hours to travel to Nairobi from my area. And here they dont have stop lights, just speed bumps. So we were coming back to our area and the bus drivers switched. We we going pretty fast and the driver didnt see a speed bump so we hit it and EVERYONE was out of there seats in the air, scattered around the bus. And they also dont use seat belts....so like me i was in the very back (where it is the worse for bumps) i was laying down across the seats sleeping and then we hit it and my legs hit the seats in front of me, my feet hit the windows, and i fleeeew into the air and off onto the floor....hahaha it hurt and like everyone was upset, buuuut it was a fun experience haha! Just imagine now being someone not in the bus but on the road...you see a big bus (a coach) flying towards you and you know there is a speedbump...but the bus does not seem to be slowing at all....the bus hits the speed bump and probably gets some air its self and then you see everyone inside go flying hahaha!!! What an experience!! 😂😂😐 #OnlyInKenya Shoutout to my Sister Alexis who is getting married on the 10th!!! I wish i could be there in person but ill be there in spirit! Enjoy your special day and know that ill be thinking about you!! ❤ Until next week, Elder Merz
