"Creola"

I'm living in Lamentin, right in the center of Guadeloupe. All the missionaries live on Basse Terre right now because its the only side of the island where we can get legal. Lamentin is split in two between my companionship and another, and then also Moule. But in Moule we are mostly just working with old investigators and referrals. We attend different branches, depending on which one we need to go to... which requires a lot of driving and planning.

Things are starting to settle down here in the Carib. Elder Wright and I for the last two weeks have a had a member from Martinique work with us. His name is Elder Lagin and he was doing a mini mission. That was pretty fun to have him though. It has really helped our creole a bit. But not much has happened. We should be having three baptisms this week. This lady named Patricia and her daughter this Saturday and then hopefully another lady named, actually I forget her name. Patricia was taught a little bit by Elder Garotta and I (if you remember in Moule?) But she was not ready then. Elder Wright and I went by with a member the first week back though, and we had a great lesson about the restoration and related it to baptism and we challenged her our first lesson (for this Saturday). She accepted and is looking pretty strong though. So that's cool. She has four kids: 2 girls named Hillary and Ashley! Crazy cakes huh? And then to top it off one of her kids is named Bradley. This other lady has come to church for a while but her problem is that she always falls in love with the missionaries haha. She knows the church is true though. and she needs to be baptized. To tell you the truth there are already enough members who like the missionaries. Its kind weird, but we are going to try to get the members to do a lot of the teaching but pray for them. Well not much this week. Tuck, keep doing better at sports and tear it up, and also you have to let me know if you want this pimp tie for prom or not! You can always take Mary Young; Clara sent me some pictures and she is lookin like a babe mwhaha. Hillary keep tearing up at soccer. Don't work too hard though; remember that basketball is THE coolest sport. And Ashley I really am sad I missed your play. But don't worry I'll be back when you play Jack in Newsies in 7th grade.

Avec amour,

Andy
