Hello Everyone,

This week we had 2 more baptisms. The first was named Steve Solomon and he is a retired guy around the age of 60. I like him a lot. We have been teaching him for a while now and I just like him a whole lot. We are thinking that he is going to be our branch president. Saturday we baptized him in black water (the water has nutrients from the rainforest).

Guess why it’s called that - so my clothes are all dirty now. It was just very spiritual. He bore his testimony on how he came to know this was the true church was by reading the Book of Mormon. It was soo amazing. The second one was a little boy whose mother we are teaching and she reminds me a lot of Aunt Toni. She is just that funny type. She is great. Her son is around the age of 11 or so. Sunday we walked out to the river and baptized him before church. We didn’t have time to do much for him service wise so we just prayed, sang and baptized. It was still very spiritual. i still haven’t gotten my camera yet so I’m hoping that will come any time now. I’m so vexed about that. Hopefully it didn’t get stolen this time too. I’m glad to see that you saw some pictures of me and the elders I’m serving with. Some of my favorite elders are Elder Mundy, Dayton, Duncan, and Temerono. They are all older but they are sweet guys. We play basketball a lot with the locals on P day. Today we are in Georgetown, which is like 3 hours from Skeldon, we are going to the most famous and best resturant in Guyana. It’s like Rodizio Grill. Just lots of meat, so I’m stoked. Its expensive. Speaking of money, they use 1000 dollar bills which is like $5 US. I took a picture of one million dollars in 1000 dollar bills, I’m gonna title it " what do ya think about that?!?" So the grossest thing happened, I found a spider in our house that was bigger then my whole hand. hahaha I made Elder Sorber kill it cuz I wouldn’t. Things are just really good right now, I really am enjoying what I’m doing.

I love you all!!
