Last week we went to Nairobi so that show that we are good and legal to be here in the county. We had to do all this stupid stuff to show we are good to be here, so literally the entire mission went through Nairobi last week. But while there we got pizza one night and we shared stories with Elder Call, Fuller, Segale, Bigirindavyi and I at the Assistants flat. Sleepin on the floor with a little mattress has just become something i am now used to. We also got to go to the mission home and i got to see a lot of my good friends! Such as Elder Bandi who is training someone and STILL in Mombasa!! Lucky guy! I also got to see the missionaries that were going home! My good friends Elder Cox, Cotts, Covarubias, and Elder Egbert! We went to the upperhill chapel and got our papers saying we are okay to be in the country and then Elder Fuller, ncube, Bigirindavyi, Shongwe and I walked to the immigration center in town. We got our stuff sorted out after some hours. Elder Fuller had a problem where on one paper it said 10,000 and the other it said 100,000. So we had to go up to some rooms to figure it out, all they did was just scribble out the 100,000 and write 10,000 hahaha niiiiice. Ncube left to fly to Dar Es Saalem and the rest of us went and got all you can eat pizza from a Pizza Hut there in town. We destroyed the place. The evening we got dinner at the mission home and got to meet the new missionaries more and the trainers. Saturday was a bit rough. We had 3 interviews total for the zone. For the day i biked a total of more than 40 km uphill and the interviews literally took the entire day for us. That is something hard about being in an area soooo far away from others. Barbra was baptized on Sunday! It was a great great day! She was super happy and the service went very well. She is a super smart girl and we gave her a little CTR ring that she wears every day! Randomly during the week i got a smell of like a Nelson summer BBQ....ALSO we are the LAST bush boys left. We are the only missionaries now serving in one of the "bush" areas. Another good week but super busy with unexpected travels to Nairobi. Good thing we got registered though or else they would have deported us or taken us to jail. Hope you all have a great week. I know it must be weird to get an email from me on a Friday, but on Monday we traveled for 5 hours to go and email and the internet places did not really have internet they were just playing around. It took 20 minutes to try to log on and then 20 minutes to just log off. So here we are. Love, Elder Merz Sister Msane got us super nice new blankets!!
