Dear Family, Mom is busy cooking so she asked me (Leon) to compose this email. Today was a fun day--we went with Elder and Sister Elam to scope out some fabric and souvenir shops. I bought a Safari hat and another baseball cap to add to my collection. Mom didn't buy anything but I could see the wheels turning in her mind of things she would like. She will return later for some of the cool nativities we saw and also some of the beautiful African fabric we saw. We visited the Westgate Mall--a mall as modern and up to date as any in our country. Many upscale shops, a movie theatre and many eating establishments. We had lunch at the Artcaffe Restaurant--the sandwiches were superb with unique bread that was great. The Nakumatt Store, also located in the mall, is Nairobi's answer to Wall Mart but on a smaller scale. We did our weekly grocery shopping and returned home. Nakumatt has several locations throughout the city, but the one in the mall is by far the cleanest and most modern of all of them. As I type this email I am smelling the scent of onions and chicken cooking in the kitchen--it smells just like back home, my sweetheart is such a good cook and she feeds me well. Every Saturday the couple missionaries has a date night at a local restaurant. Tonight we are going to For You Chinese restaurant. Each week the couple who is in charge of the Family Home Evening is the person who selects the date night restaurant. We have the honor of doing that in two weeks. This is a great day. This week we have trained on the PEF system with our supervisor couple from South Africa. Elder and Sister Von Stetten are from Allentown, PA and they work out of the Africa Southeast office in Johanasberg. We are slowing making progress on our duties and responsibilities. Last night we rearranged our flat so now we can say it is our digs and it looks pretty cool.
We love all of you and pray for you.
Mom and Dad, aka Grandma and Grandpa
