Kirk's first e-mail from Nairobi-

January 9, 2012  Ok so here are the few words i have. He is elder Birhanu seyoum Tsegaye. He is actually good friends with negera, from home, and reminds me a lot of him. He is from debre zeit, a place i will get to before i die... Well hopefully. He is a hard worker and very easy to get along with. He is funny too. He is not a zone leader as he is only like 2 months on mission. It is just me alone. So my last area in nairobi was way tough because it was a very rich area, so you couldn't even get to doors to knock. Everone had gates and guards and the guards don't let you passed the gate so it was kind of lame. But here it is much better.   So as for investigators, we have a lot of people who we are teaching that felt like yesterday would not be a good day to come to church. So taht was dissappointing but we had i think 2 there. I am mostly following tsegaye around since i don't know the area. Oh i am also down to zero crutches. Just walking on the boot. So that is pretty cool, my leg is feeling pretty good these days. There are 4 guys in my flat the other two are elder lawson, from ogden, bonneville high i believe. And elder muwanguzi, from uganda. They are both sweet guys. our zone is 10 missionaries. 6 in the greater buru buru area, and 4 in kasarani. I am in the greater buru buru area, and my area is called Umoja, and we cover Nairobi second ward.Food is so much cheeper here than in arusha that is the best part of this place. I think thats all the words i have. Love you all so much.   Elder Smed.

Kirk is getting Transferred--:( or :) not sure

January 2, 2012--Fantastic. TRANSFER NEWS: I am going. Back to nairobi. And i am actually a bit excited. I will be in the other zone of nairobi, called eastlands. I will still be zone leader. The only zone leader which will have mild stress. But not too much cause my zone is sweet. My companion is 1 and 1\2 transfers on mission. Because he came half way through one. His name is elder Tsegaye from ethiopia.
