West Indies! #1

Hey everyone!

It was really good to talk to you guys yesterday. I dont think I could have timed it any better because not many missionaries get to talk to their families twice in one week. It was really good to hear from you though, trinidad is still trinidad. Today we woke up at 545 and went to go play football with our zone, but the missionaries that were supposed to pick us up didnt get to our apartment until about 715. While we were waiting we went and got some breakfast. I dont know if you remember when nick told us about doubles or not but I am addicted to them. I dont really know how to explain them though. It is kind of like 2 scones, with curried peas, and beans in it. It doesnt sound very good, but it is amazing! I really think they are going to make me fat. When they finally got to our apartment, 6 of us piled in a toyota corolla. It was pretty crammed. We got there around 730 or 8 and played the game. It was the north zone vs. the south zone. We beat them 5 to 3, haha and I had 2 touchdowns. It was alot of fun. Then at 1030 we had a meeting with the AP's, Zone leaders, President gamiette and all of the trainers and trainees. It was really good and it amazes me at how much president gamiette knows. He really is an amazing guy. This transfer, our mission is trying out a new 12 week training program. It has come straight from the brethren. With this program we are given 2 hours of companionship study each day. It is really cool. President also challenged us to baptize either a man that could be a potential priesthood holder, or a family, each week! It is going to take alot of hard work but all of us know that it is very possible down here. There is so much work to be done! I am really excited to be here though. I am coming right when the mission is starting to pick up and me and elder Kaelin have had a really good time together. Well there isnt much to write, cause I just talked to you yesterday. I will try and attach some pictures of my apartment and a couple of trinidad. I will get some better ones though. Thanks for all your support. I love you all!
