Week #2 in Trinidad

Hey everybody, How is everything going back at home? Everything is going great here. Today for Pday we drove up to valsayn, and went to a really nice mall, and then went and ate at Wendys. It was really good and it felt like I was back at home, especially because the Real Salt Lake game was on the TV in there. It was crazy! This week was pretty good though. We found quite a few new investigators and we have some baptism dates set. One of our investigators that we have been teaching the whole time I have been here is named Shakilla. She is amazing. She has a pretty strong testimony and is already doing her missionary work. We went to visit her at her daughters house in sando on Saturday. When we were there she told us that her grandson wanted to sit in. We taught him and it went really well. Then on Sunday she brought him to church and he really liked it. We have a baptism date for the 29th for both of them. It is really cool to see how the gospel can change peoples life. Our other investigators name is Eva, she is actually one of the members in our wards, maid. She has a pretty solid testimony and knows that what we have taught her is true. The only problem is she isn't married to her boyfriend/husband. We are doing everything we can to try and get them married so she can be baptized. She didn't come to church yesterday though so that was kind of disappointing. The work here is going really well though. I can't believe how hard it is, I still have so much to learn but I am doing my best. I am glad to here that some of you were able to get out on the lake the other day. I would do anything if I could do that. I will live though. Tomorrow I am going on trade offs with my district leader elder Vi. I am kind of nervous because for the first time I will have to take the lead in all the lessons and I have to plan our whole day, it will be fine though and what better way is there to learn. I will send some pictures in another email this time so hopefully they are easier to view. I've got to get going though, sorry this email is so short. I pray for all of you every day and I can feel your support. I know that I am in the right place and I really do love it here. The gospel is true and I know that with all my heart. It is so frustrating when people just wont listen to our message because I want to share it with everyone. Keep me posted and send me pictures!

I love you all!
