Things are going well. I received transfer calls this week, and I am staying and not going to the office. I am training this next transfer. that will be fun. I don't think that it will be anything like the last person that I trained, but either way it will be good. I have been keeping incredible track of my food intake, and it has helped me eat better. I am still eating plenty.
Speaking of which. I nearly died last Friday. oh gosh it was the absolute worst food that I have ever had. I have no idea how it was fed to us. it is called choo choo. It was so hard to eat. By far the hardest thing that I have had to eat in my life. the fish, onions, tomatoes were the better part of it. oh gosh I will never forget that meal. I found out some of the families children don't even like it. So we got stuck with it. I ate as much as I could, and I gaged a little bit once. It was a good thing they left a pitcher of Koolaid right in front of us. they are a cool family. it is going to be crazy this Tuesday, we are going to some of the members for Elder Morris, my comp, and we are going to be fed 4 different times in less than7 hours. it is going to be quiet the challenge, because no one feeds us just a little, and even if you just ask for a little they are going to pile it on there.
Yesterday was a cool. president Robinson came to our branch, and joined in for the day. It was cool, and a little odd as well. I almost know that I am going to be an office elder in the nearby future. From what I understand president say that "Elder Balling's fate is sealed." so he knows that I can work with computers, and they are going to send me there in the future. it will be fun. But first I train and what not. it is going well, and let me know if there is anything I can do for the family. oh yeah I ran into someone that sells anime down here. it is about 1.60 for a DVD. so I bought a few. I won't watch them, but I will send them home or something.
I love ya can't say I miss ya.my time is up have a great day.

Hello
I'm in trinidad now. It is completely different. There is over a million people in the country. It is really cool. My apartment is a huge improvement. I have a crockpot, popcorn popper, blender, a 6 burner stove, a badet (or whay I call crap shooter), hot water, 4 matresses on my bed now, and I live in a 2 floor apartment. oh goodness things are really different here. it seems that I am back in the states. Though there are a lot of differences it is just such a difference from a 3rd world country.
Well, I read dad's email, thanks for the reminder I nearly forgot. ha ah. Well I can get basically anything in this country when it comes to food. They have grocery stores like Albertson's and stuff. I have one of the coolest areas. We had a baptism the week before I got there, and we will have one by the end of this month. there are some really cool people. My first day i ate by 2 different people. it was cool. I had homeade Ice cream. The members are really nice here, and there is just so much going on. as far as converting the muslims that is a little more difficult now. the first presidency put out a message to everyone that if we are to baptize a muslim convert or someone with parents of that faith we are to receive permission, and they are to not be under any threat of death upon there return home. I think there has been some problems with it. there isn't any fear for me to be here, I have talked with a lot apeople of that faith, and most are very kind, but firm in there beliefs, as far as the bad ones, there used to be one here, but is wanted by the cops here, that is the terrorist. so there isn't to much going on. if they are in guyana, well nothing is in guyana, and there is tons of people that would hate them, and would probably kill the terrorist if he was caught. oh well it isn't much anyway.
Oh, I also have 4 fans in this apartment, and AC, but the ac doesn't work.another weird thing is I am in an internet cafe, and they have a big picture of some anime that I liked back at home. it is just weird, but they do have anime down here, and I found out that the recent convert, watches it from time to time. My companion hates it too. he is cool about it though. He wants to go into a architech career field, and he may design a house for me. it is weird downhere, and I could be in one area, and call into houses for hours, and not get into one. then go to a next area, and everyone lets us in. well, will stay in one part.
It works better as far as a package is concerned, I probably doesn't need to much; just a stick of body glide would be nice, I don't walk as much here, and the temperature is cooler. it has rained everyday since I have been here, there is no chance of flooding here. they have a mountian, yeah, I'm having fun, and the work is going well. I share the same church with the office elders, and theAssisants.
Well, I love ya can't say I miss ya. I am getting comfortable, here my comp is cool, works very effectively andsmart, which is a good difference from my last comp, this one is really quiet. really quiet, but we have some good conversations. well bye bye I didn't say to much about the baby. I'm looking forward to seeing hinata. there is one down, now ted needs to get on the ball. bye
