<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif;">New Years Day was spent at Kilili for family visits. The Olsens went with us and we visited John Kithange family and Johnfred Muindi family. We shared a message with John’s family sitting under a large Mango tree. Then they shared with us how they joined the church. It was peaceful and beautiful. When we went to Johnfred’s home we sang, had a prayer and then they shared with us what they like about being members of the church. It was moving and sweet. Both of these families have been sealed in the temple and both strong families. We said our good-byes knowing that we would visit the branch on Sunday</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Wednesday we said good-bye to our good people in Mitinit Branch. We had a large gathering at the church where we sang, shared our testimonies and received loving gifts. It was hard, sad, and yet sweet all rolled together. Tuesday was another day of good-byes at Kyambeke Branch. After visiting three families we returned to the chapel and had another hard, sweet, and sad good-bye. Again we were given gifts of love. Francis and his wife brought us a live chicken to take with us, a token of his love for us. It pooped on the church floor a couple of times and then put in a plastic bag for us to take home in the back seat of the pick-up (it’s head was out of the bag, it squawked a lot). Lucy made me some leggings and Bruce a monkey-face hat. Bruce made everyone laugh a lot and it helped me not to cry. Friday was our last day at Ilima. We said our goodbyes after the priesthood class and one more family activity. We also received another chicken from Brother January, woven baskets, and scarves.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Friday evening was our good-bye dinner at the Broadbent’s and it went well. We didn’t cry and again Bruce had them laughing.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Wow it’s emotional to say good-bye but I guess because it was the last, Kilili Sunday, was the hardest for us. After giving us each a gifts and a book they had written in, they all stood and sang this sweet song of good-bye and waved to you. We were emotionally drained after this week.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">We met with some of the missionaries we have worked with at the mission office today. It has been so fun to see their growth and be able to work with them. We bought them and the office elders’ pizza which really made them happy. The next three days we will get the keyboards ready to turn in to the mission office, pack our bags, clean out all the food in our cupboards and finish up those last minute items. We are filled with mixed emotions but we are so thankful for the mission we have experiences and the opportunity to serve here in Kenya. We wish there was another couple to replace us but there is no word of anyone coming yet.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 18px;">The last few weeks have been packed with a lot of anxiety and preparation for the temple.<span> </span>Everyday something would go wrong or news would come that something was lost and needed for the visas.<span> </span>Slowly, slowly things came together.<span> </span>Bruce’s anxiety and nervous energy was hard to deal with for us both, but we found it drove him to do projects that made for a <b>very </b>organized and wonderful trip to South Africa.<span> </span>He had a packet for each family loaded with <b>everything</b>they needed right down to a black pen to fill-out the immigration cards.<span> </span>It is hard to write all the feelings, blessings, and joy we experienced as we took 18 wonderful people to the Johannesburg Temple but I will share a brief report so that our family and friends will know a little bit of</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The five couples and eight children came into Nairobi on <b>Wednesday</b> morning, where President Broadbent individually interviewed each person.<span> </span>He did not rush but made it a personal visit.<span> </span>They had a simple lunch provided by their good branch president and his wife and then they were taken to a hotel where they were served dinner and stayed the night.<span> </span>They wore their very best clothes and were so excited.<span> </span>One young boy had on a shirt, blue polyester jacket and pajama bottoms.<span> </span>His older brother had on a white thread-bare shirt and a pair of red wind-breaker type pants with white stripes down the side and their youngest brother had on a worn long sleeve shirt and fringed jeans three inches above his little ankle.<span> </span>It was their best and they were so happy.<span> </span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Thursday</span></b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> morning the group was picked up by Victor and at the airport when we arrived at 5:30.<span> </span>Every time we turned around Angels were in our path-way.<span> </span>A man asked if he could help us with the boarding-pass machine and then stayed to help Bruce and I fill out 20 detailed immigration cards.<span> </span>(Only two of the members knew how to read and write, none of the wives could write their own names.) They were frightened by the escalator but eventually everyone got brave and tried it, then liked it.<span> </span>They loved the moving walk-way.<span> </span><span> </span>After three hours and banana cake for everyone, we walked to the plane in thin plastic rain-coats furnished by the airline. (They loved them and all wanted their picture taken).<span> </span>The plane trip went well and no one seemed to be frightened but there were some big eyes when we finally took off.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Arriving in South Africa and getting through immigration was long but went quite smoothly.<span> </span>Going to the bathroom at the airport was an adventure.<span> </span>They loved the water that would come on with a wave of your hand and the hand-dry blowers were another item that entertained them way too much.<span> </span><span> </span>Getting through customs with such a big group was made easier when an employee directed us to different gates which made the task go faster.<span> </span>We were so happy to see our van drivers there waiting for us.<span> </span>They also helped Bruce change Kenya currency to Rands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">We arrived at the temple patron housing around 1:00 and were shown to our rooms.<span> </span>They were very nice with a tub, shower, and clean beds.<span> </span>Then we went to lunch at the patron cafeteria.<span> </span>That afternoon we did preparatory temple work, because of the language barrier this took a long time. Then we were able to attend a temple session as the matrons cared for the children.<span> </span>Elder Carl Cook, wife and daughter were able to attend the session with us.<span> </span>It was after 8:00 before we returned to patron housing where we had supper and everyone went to bed.<span> </span>We were all so tired.<span> </span>It had been a wonderful and busy day.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Friday</span></b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> morning we ate breakfast and at 8:30 Bruce took the couples to the Family History room.<span> </span>Three good things helped this experience go quickly and smoothly; Elder Scott (MLS Mombasa) had prepared accounts and passwords for each family, Bruce helped each adult complete a pedigree chart, four temple workers came in early just to help our group. As received their copy of work that needed to be done, they once again returned to the temple.<span> </span>I stayed with the children and by 12:30 we all had lunch together.<span> </span>The afternoon was of course the very best as we attended the sealing’s of the families.<span> </span>The children were all dressed so beautifully.<span> </span>The little girls all had bands, bows or flowers.<span> </span><span> </span>There was so much love in the faces of the family members.<span> </span>I will never forget how spell-bound I felt and so thankful.<span> </span>That evening at the cafeteria, we ate supper and had a special prayer all together to thank Heavenly Father for not only watching over us but also for the wonderful experience. <span> </span>We gave them each a little token to remember by and then gave each one an ice cream cone.<span> </span>This was their first experience eating ice cream.<span> </span>They are not use to eating anything cold so at first they weren’t too sure but then they licked and licked and loved it.<span> </span>It was so fun to share this with them.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 18px;">So many things have come and gone, this is the longest I have been without writing in our journal.<span> </span>I need to mention our last Sunday meeting with Ilima and Kymbeke branches.<span> </span>We presented them with the “History of the Church in Kilungu Hills” and also their binder of collected personal histories.<span> </span>We bore our testimonies and told them we loved them but they knew we would be coming back for a weekly visit before we left.<span> </span>Ilima branch was filled with sorrow as Jacinta’s five year old daughter who was hit and killed by a car.<span> </span>She was their only child.<span> </span>Her funeral was Monday so the branch delayed the Christmas party until Christmas day.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Christmas Day we spent with the Elders at the Mitini.<span> </span>They requested sloppy joe’s, potato salad, carrot sticks, juice, chips, banana cake, and Rice Krispie treats.<span> </span>We sang, and shared our testimony of the Savior’s Atonement.<span> </span>All the missionaries had been challenged to read the Book of Mormon to learn more about the Sacrifice that was made for us.<span> </span>This was to be our gift to the Savior for Christmas.<span> </span>The missionaries gave powerful testimonies and the spirit was so sweet, not rushed, just peaceful.<span> </span>We will probably never spend a Christmas like that.<span> </span>We also watched the mission video for the year 2012, (everyone sent in 5 pictures) they loved seeing each other and their past companions.<span> </span><span> </span></span></div>

For family night the couples put together 10 beautiful plates of Christmas treats and took them around to different apartments close by. We sang "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and handed them the plates. It was so fun and the response was wonderful. One lady came to the door with a shower cap and a big towel wrapped around her and she said "Oh don't go away I'll be back". She came back quickly all dressed and was so happy with the plate and the visit. Oh it was just fun and we all laughed. I bet it was quite a sight for them to open their door and see 12 white people and singing no less. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 18px;">The last of November was family visits and again it was a priceless experience. We treasure these memories. We did a lot of climbing up the mountainside and I think I’m getting stronger. Each day, the weather was pleasant and coolish and that helped. We would come home very tired and happy when it was time to climb into bed. Saturday we again traveled out to the Hills for the baptism of five youth and nine adults (from three branches). The men, who were baptized, speak English and will be such an added force to their area. Wow it is growing so fast. I just get so happy and the spirit is strong at these meetings. Our Elders are just the best. Transfers were Saturday and although we are losing four <u>wonderful</u> elders, we are also gaining four more and this will be the group of elders that we will spend Christmas with out in the Hills. It will be an amazing day. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span></span></div>

So we must quickly apply for Visa’s and get the family histories updated. I am elated and Bruce is pretty overwhelmed but we both know it is a blessing that will conclude our mission. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 18px;">Last Monday we put together our first history book. It was pretty exciting and by Thursday we had 11 completed. We still have more to bind but we can only do it when it’s our Prep Days. We are so happy and feel relieved. Now we just have a lot of person histories to type us but they will continue to come in until the last of December. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">This week was Thanksgiving and Couples Mission Conference. All the couples came in from their areas. Some drove, others had to fly in. Some came for five days others just three. We enjoyed everyone so much and it was fun and inspiring. Thursday we ate great food and Friday we met together for our meetings. Those of us who live in Nairobi, tried to take others to fun places and do a little sightseeing on Wednesday and Saturday. Three couples wanted to come with us to Kilungu Hills Sunday for church. We were more than happy to show off our people as we visited the Kyambeke Branch. By the time everyone left for home Sunday night, Bruce and I were really tired but it was an added sweet experience to our mission. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">This weekend we went on another 2 ½ hour Saturday morning walk, worked on histories, went to Niavasha for Sunday and attended a Public Affair Banquet with Kenya dignitaries and Church representatives from South Africa. It seems that our missionary experiences have such great contrasts. Today, Tuesday we went visiting at Kilili, visiting 3 homes. The conditions were so meager; some were ill, one was blind and two with new born babies. There has been some church relief food but there is no rain relief in sight for their shamba’s/gardens. We shared the 13 Articles of Faith Card with them and Brother John helped with some translation. We left to return to Nairobi feeling helpless and sad. President Broadbent told us we were not here to overcome poverty but to strengthen them with the gospel, but as we drove into the nice apartment compound in Nairobi I just felt selfish. We have been without electricity for two days now and we think we have it hard. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1a1a1a;">Our four-day trip to Mombasa was
fun, pleasant, and relaxing. We went with four couples, visiting the Tsavo Game
Park and stayed one night at Kiliguni lodge. We saw 40 elephants at one
watering hole, many zebras, and giraffes, Cape buffalo and got close to a large
crocodile. Friday we headed for Mombasa and walked in the warm Indian
Ocean, did some site seeing, and enjoyed the Scott’s (missionary couple in
Mombasa). The drive home on Saturday was a 9-hour drive but the good news
is Bruce didn’t have to drive.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">It seems as we continue to serve on
our mission, things are more commonplace and so we don’t write about them.
We are trying to keep our energy and enthusiasm up. We have been able to
catch a couple of sessions of Conference and really enjoy it. We won’t
get the DVD’s for two weeks, and then the Branches will show it to their
members. Speaking of the branches, there is sure a lot of drama,
especially Kilili. Oh my goodness they are in each other’s business and
marriages. I guess they are not different than our wards and stakes back
home. But they do tattle on each other, like we have any control.

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">Three couples leave the end of
October/November and three more couples are coming to replace them. One
couple is from Logan, the Moon’s. Our replacements will not
over-lap in fact we don’t know if anyone has been called yet. Our
branches will be fine, they are strong and the branch presidents seem to be
doing well. I need to go make some cookies and get them in the freezer
for lunches. An Elders mom sent him a package of brownie mix so I need to
make that up and take it to him on Tuesday as they don’t have an oven (but they
do have bed-bugs). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 18px;">We have been on a roll since Casey and Alyson came in on <b>Thursday</b> evening.<span> </span>It is so great to have a little bit of home here in Kenya.<span> </span>We have worn them out and made Casey a believer of the terrible and scary traffic.<span> </span><b>Friday</b> we went to Ilima and they were a part of the priesthood and family lessons.<span> </span>Alyson and I did a quick walk over to visit Sister Anastasia Bernard and her two children before Keyboard class began.<span> </span><b>Saturday</b> was another view of Kenya.<span> </span>We went to JoGo Market where they have 4 large buildings each three floors high, filled with small shops.<span> </span>Each shop is constructing/making different items; purses, book bags, soccer balls, all types of adult and children’s clothes, blankets, curtains, and more.<span> </span>It is poorly wired, no circulation, dim lighting, much garbage, and it is smelly.<span> </span>Outside there are even more shops where people sell their goods and also food they prepared.<span> </span>I call it a “Hot Mess” and I don’t know why but I love to go there.<span> </span>It‘s just so African.<span> </span>Bruce just keeps telling me “we are never coming here again” but I just keep finding friends that want to go.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Next we went to Steven’s Nazarene Children’s Home/Orphanage.<span> </span>We were able to share this experience with the Broadbent’s and their kids Jeff and Aly, visiting from Ogden.<span> </span>They gave a presentation on personal hygiene and we all helped the kids make a bright love chain, which decorated the school room. <span> </span>They loved their peanut butter jam sandwiches with juice and we just enjoyed being with them.<span> </span>We delivered some school supplies and blankets sent from Plain City.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Saturday evening Casey and Alyson joined with the missionary couples for dinner.<span> </span><b>Sunday</b> was church at Kyambeke and <b>Monday</b> we headed for Kilili for family visits.<span> </span>On the way our truck rolled over 100,000 Kilometers.<span> </span>We have done a lot of driving in the past 15 months.<span> </span>Monday night was family night held at the Olsen’s.<span> </span><b>Tuesday</b> our guests headed for the Masai Mara for three day for a Safari.<span> </span>We hope they have a great time.<span> </span>When they get back we have more adventures planned.<span> </span>While they are gone we will have the pleasure of family visits at Mitini and Kyambeke.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">While Casey and Alyson were on their Safari, we went to Mitini for a family visit at the home of Leonard and Christine.<span> </span>They are new converts and very committed to the gospel.<span> </span>She will have a new baby in October and they walk so far to church.<span> </span>It may seem repetitive but it is up and down steep hills and takes them 1-2 hours one way.<span> </span>Over 60 people came to the small compound and each bore a sweet testimony.<span> </span>We hope that a new branch will be formed soon as there are so many people that are interested in the church and the distance is so far.<span> </span>Thursday we found the same distance problem when we visited Joseph and his wife.<span> </span>They have 5 children and two are very young, just too far to travel.<span> </span>Joseph takes one family member each week with him to church on his motorbike.<span> </span>So his wife can only attend once a month.<span> </span>There is enough priesthood to start a group but President Broadbent will have to make that call.<span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>The church really is growing the problem is “centers of strength” have to be considered.<span> </span>They need to be close enough to a church enabling them to be strengthened, continue learning and keep their baptism covenants.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Casey and Alyson returned on Thursday evening and had wonderful reports of their Safari.<span> </span>We were so happy to hear about their adventures but pleased that they returned safely.<span> </span>Friday they went with us to Ilima where we visited President Simon’s home.<span> </span>Sister Lucy made scuma wieki and ugali for the kids to try.<span> </span>We also had chapattis and cooked beans.<span> </span>After a fun visit we took a baby gift to Stella Mwende who lives on the hill above the Ilima chapel.<span> </span>Saturday was a fun day spent in Nairobi.<span> </span>We went to Kuzuri beads, the elephant orphanage, a craft shop, and the Junction Mall.<span> </span>The traffic was really bad but the company was great.<span> </span>That evening we went to eat with the couples and listened to their funny stories.<span> </span>Sunday we went to branch conference at Mitini and there were hints of a new branch in the future with over 60 members representing the Matua, Kikoko, and Kilonga areas.<span> </span>The future holds so much growth.<span> </span>Casey and Alyson said their good bye to the wonderful Hills.<span> </span>Monday is the last day we will have our visitors so we will go souvenir shopping tomorrow. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">This week in family class we have been talking about prayer and kneeling for family prayers, it took me back when I realized that these families kneel in the dirt. How blessed we are. Sometimes I feel so selfish and ungrateful. This week is transfer week so we brought in two missionaries and Thursday we will deliver two new ones. In the Hills the missionaries get a workout with all the climbing and walking, they lose weight and get strong legs. Kilungu Hills is one place they all want to serve. They love it but are excited for a new experience after 6 months. We sure love and appreciate them. </span></div>

We ended August with home visits. We learn so much more about each family when we get to visit with them. It was a great week. On Saturday after three baptisms we went to Ilima where the Kasue family was holding a gathering/family reunion. The Gideon Kasue family was the earliest pioneers of the church in Kenya, so meeting with five of the 9 children was wonderful. They were very interested in the history we are writing and enjoyed seeing the early pictures we have collected. It’s been a full week and we are glad it is Sunday Evening. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">After nine months of planning and reading the Book of Mormon, the Kilungu/Kilili Youth Conference was held August 22-25<sup>th</sup> at a school and a neighboring conference center at Salton Hummad, a small town/village off Mombasa Road.<span> </span>One hundred and ninety two youth and leaders attended.<span> </span>The theme chosen by the Youth Council last December was “A Light to the World”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Bruce and I spent Monday and Tuesday gathering supplies and last minute preparations for Youth Conference.<span> </span>I finished the Four branch flags for the Book of Mormon Challenge, at mid-night Tuesday and we were at Salton Hummad the next day by 10:00.<span> </span>One branch had been there since 9:00, another bus load came about 11:00 and because one bus picked up 3 hours late, the last group from Kilili came in at 3:00.<span> </span>It started off slow but after a soda and loaf of bread each, they all were ready for games, scripture chase, and Book of Mormon (teams) quiz.<span> </span>We left at 6:30 for Nairobi to pick up a fun missionary couple from Tanzania, the Rydalch’s .<span> </span>They kindly agreed to teach dancing at Youth Conference.<span> </span>Thursday morning we arrived early and heard funny reviews of the evening; the youth had stayed up and played and visited all night.<span> </span>Some took showers at 3:00 A.M. and laid down for a 2 hour sleep.<span> </span>The leaders were flustered but I just laughed because that is just what would have happened at home.<span> </span>Everyone was up by 5:30 to shower and a walk around the area. <span> </span><span> </span>After breakfast of coco and bread activities began with <span> </span>scripture study, games <span> </span>until one o’clock, then they returned to the cafeteria/building for lunch <span> </span>(suma wiki/ Kale chopped finely and steamed and eaten with ugali/ corn meal and water cooked to an almost solid state).<span> </span>Then the afternoon fun began.<span> </span>There were four groups with fifty in each and they rotated around to four activities. <span> </span>Dancing was the highlight.<span> </span>They just couldn’t get enough.<span> </span>The youth just kept sneaking back in for another round of dancing leaving the group they were to follow.<span> </span>The cooks came in to dance, two people from the school office came in and the youth were dancing outside by the window.<span> </span>It was just hilarious and wonderful.<span> </span>It was really the <b>most fun</b>I have had here in Kenya.<span> </span>I was laughing and dancing and they were laughing and dancing with/at me.<span> </span>They especially loved the “Chicken Dance” because it was so easy but “The Macarena” was a close second.<span> </span>After four fun, hot and sweaty sessions, we went back to the rented conference center and divided up into branches.<span> </span>Each branch was given a box full of identical supplies; a roll of masking tape, 15 balloons, 24 Pringel potato chip cans, and 40 paper tubes of different sizes.<span> </span>(By the way it took us 9 months to collect all of these tubes with the help of other missionary couples, we were so glad to get rid of them all).<span> </span>They were instructed to use all of the items and see which branch could build the tallest and sturdy tower. The branches got very competitive; one branch president was going around getting ideas from other branches.<span> </span>It was fun to watch them think and create.<span> </span>The winners may have been a little too prideful, dancing and shouting around but Bruce summarized the activity and compared it with life and the gospel; that we need a good base to grow in the gospel and we need to support each other.<span> </span>We left at six that evening, when the youth headed back to the school for a special supper; stew with meat, and chapattis.<span> </span><span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Friday morning the youth were able to pick from 202 scriptures bags made by the Plain City Stake in Ogden.<span> </span>The youth were really happy and very possessive of their choice.<span> </span>Testimonies, skits, group pictures and singing closed the conference at around one in the afternoon.<span> </span>Everyone was happy and very tired, just the way it is in Utah after a fun 3 day youth activity. It was just wonderful and just like home we are relieved to have it over.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif;">At each branch this week we took supplies and members made a “Strong Family” poster to take home. They loved the glue sticks, scissors and paper. They were as busy as a class of first graders and just tickled with their poster. It was just enjoyable to stand back and watch them.
