Weekly Update 2-16-09

Just a lot of traveling again this week. Felt like we did accomplish a little with each visit we had with our branches. Got another Young man in Kilili started on his mission papers but will probably not be able to have them submitted before our departure in June. Just another one of those seeds that the next people assigned there will have to nourish. Had some more folks show to begin discussions at Kyambeke on Sunday. It is a bit of a challenge to have more than 10 folks in a discussion and they are all at different stages. The young men who are waiting for their mission calls are a great help there and we hope to get several of our potential candidates interviewed for baptism this Saturday. The folks going to the Temple on next Monday are getting very excited as they speculate what it is like to fly and all the other new experiences they will have. With the extra trip we make up-country on Saturdays now we sure seem to have very little extra time to work the tasks that can only be done here in Nairobi which just seems to make the week fly by. We are hoping with the upcoming interviews and baptisms that we can start spending our Saturdays in the recovery mode although I will have to do a Saturday visit to Kilili as the teachers have settled their strike which means President Makiti is back in school when we visit there on Tuesdays and I haven't completed that branch's audit yet. They are suppose to be accomplished in February but events have overcome me and it will have to be early March instead. Well I know this is a little short and disjointed but that is just kind of how the whole week has been with our arrivals back here at the flat being a little later each day. The trip to Johannesburg is going to be a much appreciated respite for a few days. Hope all are doing well and that Valentines Day was enjoyed by all. My treat to Sister Bishop was getting a branch missionary to accompany me Saturday so she could catch up on some things here at the apartment (read that as not having to endure my driving the bumpy route).
