Well it's good to know that i'm missed for something even if it is just for horseshoeing. sounds like a lot of fun back home. It's been good here as well. this week was good but it came with a few disappointments. we had to postpone the baptismal date for patrick because it turns out he has a court date in the middle of june that could cause problems. we were finally able to meet with Cy again yesterday and he's not sure he wants to continue. we're still continuing to talk and teach lots of people but as of right now, nothing too exciting. last night we had our Member Missionary Fireside for the branch. we got several of the members and our recent convert to speak. it went really well and hopefully we'll have something come out of it. this friday we're having a branch activity about the book of mormon where we'll be watching the Testaments on the big screen and such. it should be good.
anyway have a great week. love you lots.

Another week
Mon, May 16, 2011
Well, everything sounds good. Sounds like Karina's having fun, and Jeff too. Things are going well here. We've been getting quite a bit of member involvement. We weren't able to meet with Cy this week because he's been working overtime everyday, but he's still doing well and hasn't been chewing tobacco this week. earlier this week, we went to contact a referral out on Paradise Island. We met him in his office in this huge hotel place. It was pretty fun. we went tracting to some of the huge mansions there while we were waiting for him to show. We tried to get into the complex where I was working 2 years ago, but we didn't quite make it past the security guard. This week we had several lessons in creole and one lesson in spanish, using members to translate. It keeps it interesting. We started a music/piano class on Saturdays and we had 9 people there. This weekend was our branch conference. President and Sister Hendricks flew in on Saturday. We got to have dinner with them and had really good meetings on Saturday night and Sunday. Anyway, been a fun week. looking forward to another.
Love you lots

Another week

Hey Fam
Been another good week in the Bahamas. We had a really good baptism after church yesterday. We only had one unfortunately. Mylande Alcime was baptized which was totally awesome. She is 20 yrs old and way solid and comitted. Thomas was supposed to be baptized but he had to go to the island of Andros for an emergency. Don't really know what's going on with him because we can't get a hold of him.
Have a good week. talk to you more Sunday.
