Pulling Sticks

Wednesday we had district meeting. We will be driving to Nairobi next week for Mission Tour. This is when all the missionaries from Kenya get together in one place. We said we'd have room to take two missionaries with us. This saves them a trip on the bus which is guess is even more exciting than a car drive. The missionaries decided to pull sticks to see who would go with us. This was a Joseph Smith favorite game. You sit facing each other, feet together, and both gripping a stick. At the "Go" each pulls as hard as they can. The one who pulls the other off the ground wins. Here is Elder Fox giving the "GO!"

Elder Bywater is stronger than he looks. Elder Ngapasare didn't have a chance! This will be the last one we have before transfers. Elder Clark has been in Kisumu for 7 months. We love him, but chances are he will not be here much longer. Add to that, we have a great chief in our branch. We asked him if he could fix us a meal for 250/- a person (a little over $3) He came and catered a fantastic meal! It was SO savory.

Here is Marcellus at work in the kitchen. And below we are enjoying the amazing results.

It's a shame Elder Clark was interviewing someone for baptism and Elder Fox was outside explaining to someone why we couldn't hire him to work. We all got a head start!
