A New Story

Nairobi West, Kenya


Yesterday I ressurrected my carpentry skills! I made a shelf for the restroom. Sandra had some wood so i used that. It was nice using a saw and electric sander again! You know how they sell those book shelfs at wall mart and target and all you have to do is put them together? well i actually cut all the pieces and sanded them and put them together myself. I put a base coat and just waiting on that that to dry.

It looks pretty sweet. Its 50 centimeters X60. I will take a photo of it when it is finished!


On sunday we had a good time after the meeting. A sister from our hall invited a bunch from the hall to her house. She hosted the C/O and she just happens to be a cater, so, the food was good!

Some other missionaries were there too which was nice because they will be heading to their new assignment next week. Sudan! I'll miss them. I met them last year when I came an we have kept in touch since then.

On sunday kyrans bible study came to the meeting for the 1st time! I was so happy! I had actually met him a long time ago, he is a barber so it was easy to witness to him. Kyran took over the study and now he is progressing so well!

Another study came too. Sandras bible study, she is one of those who all the friends know and have met before. So we were all so happy! She even brought 2 friends with her.

Well Thursday was my first day of work. :) its for a talk show.

Its fun I get to sit in the dressing room all day for 2 days a week. Waiting back stage and checking if I need to make touch ups on her hair while on the set.

I took the Boda Boda home! That's a motor bike :) I usually take a matatu, small 14 seater bus. But there is a long stretch from the building to the main road were there are no matatus and its not safe to walk.

Anyway I asked him to take me to the main road then I was like well why not to the bus stop, then I was like what the hec why not home we are almost there! So it was a 1st time for me. Least I can say I tried it!

This past week we have had the visit of our circuit overseer. I worked with his wife yesterday. The pioneer meeting went great!

As usual, he brought out something deep from the bible. The part we coverd was John chapter4. And it was neat how he had it read. He asked a brother to play the part of Jesus and a sister to read the part of the Smaratian woman.
So the narrative part was cut out.

So that was a good meeting needless to say.

Kyran has been enjoying his training! He is going to London next month for a simulator course. We have a couple of friends who live there so he will get in touch with them!

Since I can't go with him, I'll go to the coast in mombasa.


Oh, so remember I told ya that the district overseers wife is giving me swahilli lessons? Its funny because she is Canadian and there are4 of us she is teaching, one is from Ethiopia, Argentina and 2 Mexicans from America taking swahill lessons from a Canadian who lives in kenya!
Only jehovahs people ay!

We went over grammer and its been helpful already. Iv been able to pick up on what people are saying. Even today while we were in service i learned so much!

Oh so i almost forgot. I was in service and I noticed that there were alot of cops and security gaurds. Turns out that the vice president of US was in that car we just walked past! Ha! I wish i had my camera with me at that moment.

Thats all for now. take care!

Ok, nakwenda sasa!

Love drea
