It's Wednesday afternoon and I am just finally getting around to an update so it will be quick. Kennedy and Julius came back from Kilili with us Sunday and we spent Monday working on shots and Visas as they leave for the MTC 4 Sep. We took them back to Kilili yesterday so was finally able to get at the computer after spending the morning at the St. Mary's pharmacy and restocking our cupboards. Our time up country with each branch is still the big part of our week but our Thursdays at Kyambeke have been our busiest as of late. Besides our English and Keyboard classes, we are working on a "Teacher Development Class", Missionary Prep. (there are 4 potential candidates in Kyambeke that want to serve now) and we have the 3 investigators there also. Because school is out right now there will probably be a few extras show for keyboard at each location. Doesn't look like the youth activity is going to happen this month but they have committed to try and have something planned for the break in December. This month will still be plenty busy though as we have an Mission Conference here in Nairobi with President Watson from the Area Presidency (he was the secretary to several of the prophets), assisting Sister Joseph getting back to Kilili (she completes her 18 months at the Salt Lake Visitors Center Mission on the 21st), and then having training/PPIs for the Branch Presidents here on the 28th. We are bringing the prospective Temple Patrons from Kilili to Nairobi to finalize their passport applications and complete their recommend interviews with President Taylor that last week of August and then their Branch Conference is the 30th.
I think it must be warming up again as I noticed my companion is back in her summer pjs of an evening now. We are looking forward to the rainy season which starts in September as the roads are so dusty now that the truck is covered with red powder as are we if we touch any part of the exterior. It's a little tough to unload the vehicle without touching it so I am just rather dirty most of the time up country. We did get our vehicle back after having it in for service and repairs. I had asked them to check out a couple rattles and loose panels and they took 3 weeks just to tighten and re-weld everything. General Motors of Nairobi is claiming they have never found so many loose and missing parts on a vehicle they have serviced before which I guess makes us a little infamous in their eyes or they figure the church is just an easy mark. I am sure glad that God is our co-pilot as we travel each day.
Well must sign off as I have several lessons that I need to finish up for tomorrow. Elder & Sister Bishop
