Happy New Year! We had quite the week! Filled with ups and downs! New Years wasn't too exciting...we set the alarm for 11:55 and then went and watched the fireworks for like 5 seconds. I was like man, I've seen enough fireworks, I know what they look like. Then we went back to bed! People in St. Vincent stay up like all night cooking. They call it Old Days.
Ok, I have to share my funny story and why it's one of the best things that has happened so far. We were walking on a street in the dark and all of a sudden I step in wet dog poo and i'm wearing sandals. So then I take my sandal off and I hold it out the window so sister sommer can drive us home and it won't stink up the car. We are already laughing like crazy at this point. Then this little girl we know runs up to the window and into my shoe! Her face goes from happiness to terror!!! She starts screaming DOO DOO!! And then says YOU NASTY! We are dying laughing at this point. Then she starts rubbing the poop on my arm that's out the window! And I can't move my arm because it's got my poopy shoe! Obviously this is a you had to be there story but I hope it's funny to you too.
In my next letter I will be letting you know if I have been transferred! I honestly have no clue. I don't ever hear anything about Suriname and I don't really ask. So we will see. Our Sister Trainer Leader is coming in from Grenada this week for a couple days to do training.
I don't have much to update on investigators. Zico is doing ok! We always have great lessons but I feel like church is a struggle for him. I don't know how much he enjoys it. We will follow up today with him. Then Marley is hard! He really wants to change and everything and we will have these amazing lessons but then we will see him a next day and he's back to his old ways. I'm trying to keep the faith with him. Sasha is awesome and we have basically taught her everything but we are STILL waiting for that weekend. Ryno is so funny. He doesn't drink and smoke so that's really nice. He's a good boy.
Church was great! We had five investigators at church. Dougald, Nick, Zico, Marley and Ryno. I'm sending a pic of everyone minus Zico. And then one pic with Ryno. My skirt is flying up but don't worry my skirt had a slip. It actually was a really good sunday and great testimony meeting. I played piano on sunday.
Today we went to the salt ponds. It was so cool. I sometimes can't believe this is my mission. It's unreal! I sent some pictures of that too.
One thing I love about missions is study time! The scriptures are the best! I'm almost done the Book of Mormon. My favourite chapter this week was 3rd Nephi 22.
Wow, what a mission saga mom and dad. I'm sorry that things have been so complicated! But I'm so excited to hear about everything. Welcome home Richard!
I write at the library and we have exactly one hour on the computers. It feels like a marathon when I write! No package yet!
Here's some songs popular here for you to check out: Phenomenal by Benjai and Love Her by KanKan.
I really wish I could write better emails to everyone personally so I apologize!
Love always,
Elizabeth
