January 22nd

Hello familiy.
Things are going great. I finally have some time to pick up some things to send home for the family. I'll probably just buy a few bags today. Let me know how big Kristie's shoes are. they have some pretty cool things down here. so that is that. things are going great here. I know that I didn't send the pictures yet. I am going to today. we had a baptism this last week. I was really pushing for the father to perform the baptism, but as it turns out they had me do it for them. it was a 8 year old. cool family they are the ones that we got the duck from. well it is up to you if you want to come and pick me up. you could just waitfor winter, and then we could all come down. I am extremely familular with guyana. So far I think there are some amazing places in the Islands. I'll let you know about them when it comes. this week is transfer week, I will be staying in the same place, and my new companion is elder Camdem. He came out with me, and we have always gotten along really well. I know he will be a great help to the area. right now my comp likes to sleep a lot still, but he is getting better. I hope you can find the place where the sister Robinson is posting abundle of pictures. If not let me know, and I can show you some pretty cool things. well sister Robinson actually returned to slc, she had an allergic reaction to medicine for streap throwt. she is better now. It sounds like things are going great at home. we had zone conference, and it was good. we have one lady that we are teaching. she managed to read 400 pages in 2 weeks. I couldn't beleive it, I had to ask her a couple of times how much she read. it is good. We are planning on having another baptism this week, but of course it depends on if they can get married. Everyone needs to be married. It is crazy no one does it. I think that we would have around 10-12 baptisms if they were all married. It is crazy. I love ya can't say I miss ya.
There are some really cool islands in this mission.
barbados is cool, but Ireally like the islands with the mountians.
bye bye bye

Well family I hope that everything is going well. It sounds really cold, thatis a shame that I missed the coldest season yet. Well for now it is a clearblue warm day, and as we walk next to the stream, and through the forest. I cansee the pleasantly warm sun show through the trees. Oh yeah it is on the waythe an appointment. Only if you could see where we walk, it is pretty cool. Well. I hope your enjoying the freezing weather. Ha ha ha. Here is a littlestory. There are a lot of puppies here. Well a family we’re teaching had apuppy, and it was one of the softest cuties puppies you could ever see. Wevisited them at there home yesterday, and they told us that they had alligatorsin the back yard and it ate the puppy. So now I want to see the alligators. It is a great time to be in the mission. Miss mother’s email, but thingshappen. Hope your having as much fun as me. It was a shame yesterday, we had11 people that had hoped to come to church, but none showed. There were avariety of reasons, but I wasn’t to sure about them. Either way the areaI’m in now is becoming more and more filled with appointments. The elderbefore left nothing for me, absolutely no appointments/investigators. We have avariety now, it is pleasant. I fear that I don’t have any more news for you. It is good to know I will have a good niece to be friends with Sakura andSasuke. I will be looking forward to meeting Hinata we I return. Well I guessnow the pressure is on Ted and Aundi. Ha ha ha. That is right. Well I willtry and get a package sent home soon. I know I will have to send one home whenI leave Guyana. Let me know if I should send home anything in specific. Suchas a bralcet, bag, keychain, I don’t know. A hammock maybe. They are a lotcheaper here. It is nice. Well. I love ya can’t say I miss ya. I will begoing now, and I wish the best in the cold weather your having. Oh that is nicea warm breeze came. Yup a warm breeze came into the computer café. Ahhh. Byebye.
