The drunk man we met...

Hey,
Dont have much time, dont know why, but they only gave me 20 minutes. Everything is good here, i wont get the shoes until 23rd of april, thats when zone conference is. Heres a story for ya, we went to go buy a drink yesterday at a store when we went back outside there was a guy who i started talking to, aparently drunk. We started talking about a bunch of stuff and he was like, "I smoke marijuana." And he like kept saying it and my companion is like, "I believe you." And he was like i dont shoot chemicals or anything, i smoke marijuana. and we just kept saying we believe you! It was funny. There was another time when we were talking to this one lady, and she was telling us all this stuff and then she's like, "and im losing my mom." Then my companion was like, "we know where your mom is." (Its times like these when i just cover my eyes or just look away until the awkwardness of the situation wears off) Then she's like, "Oh, you do!" (sarcastic). Then afterwards im like, "elder, her mom wasnt dead, she said she was losing her mom!" Its so funny, stuff like that happens all the time with him. My weight is fine, i actually think ive gained a little muscle, doing push ups and situps every morning (except sunday). Well, everything is good with me, keep the emails coming, and ill be sending my bracket to yall!

All is well in Anitgua!

Hey everyone,
All is well in Antigua. Hopefully we'll be seeing some baptisms either the end of this month or next month for sure. We have a bunch of investigators, now we just need to separate the chaff. Yesterday the zone leaders flew in for a trade off with us. It was good, we learned a lot and now we know what to work on. BE BOLD. A lot of times it seems like i have to answer all their questions, when the only question is is asking God if the Book of Mormon is true, then all else falls after. The scripture of the week is, Alma 32:26,27. Faith is not a perfect knowledge, experiment on the words, exercise a particle of faith, and even if you dont have faith, but only a desire to believe let that desire work in you. Remember all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed and you can move mountains and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If you have faith exercise it and it will bring forth fruit and by the fruit you might know if it is a good seed. Well thats the spiritual thought for the week! I love you all so much, pictures are on the way! I will try to print off the bracket! Oh, and Amber, we took a plane over for zone conference.

Waggoin!

Waggoin!
(i think thats how u spell it) It means like whats up. But everything is chill here. Just enjoying life in the caribean. Sounds like the annual disneyland trip is in the works. That will be awesome. I dont know how it feels for yall but it seems like when i was back home was a different life or something. And i just basically talk with a computer every week. Anyways, i havent used my US bank card in awhile, because the last time i tried it didnt have any money on it. But i will check it out soon. So yesterday i got back from zone conference in St Kitts. It was sweet, zone conference is always fun. The new mission president in July 1st, will be Jorge Alvarado. So that will be interesting. So we still have a few good investigators with baptismal dates, that wont be until the end of this month. Hopefully it picks up a little more when we use the stuff we learned at zone conference. But all is well with me, keep me updated on March Madness!
con amor,

6 Investigators at Church!!

Hey everyone!
Another week gone by! On sunday we had 6 investigators at church. There were some people from Idaho as well who were visiting. They were going to call and say hi for me. So, lately we have had a bunch of new people to teach, and 3 baptismal dates. The way things are running we have like 7 people who could be baptised in the future. Yesterday i had to go to immigration to renew my Antigua visa. I was in line for 6 hours. So that was a lot of fun. ha ha. But everything has been great here so far. My companion and i get along well and it was funny one time we were waiting for a guy for an appointment, outside of a store. And there was another dude standing there, so my companion started to talk to him and asked him what his name was. He said, "i dont want to tell you my name. Why do u want to know my name?" It was funny. Another time we were walking and we saw a guy doing yard work or something and we were like, "hey do u need any help?" He said, "I dont want help from u, you people(whites) treat us(blacks) like dogs." And that kind of stuff is just a daily occurance. But it has been a lot of fun here, i learn something everyday. Also, i will need yall to send me some new black shoes, mine are pretty much done, i have blisters on my feet because i basically walk on my socks now. Im a size 12. Please send ASAP. So i hope yall enjoy the new dog and the new roommates. The scripture of the week is 2 Nephi 26:33. I love yall so much, keep sending the emails!
