Wow all i can say once again is that i am glad that this week has come to an end! I dont know what caused it to be but this week was rough and long for me! and it was even a short week because we emailed last tuesday! 

I am doing and feeling much better! And i am still trying my best to eat good foods! but as a missionary we all know that is a hard thing to do! then add the fact i am in Guyana and there isnt much here that i can get let alone know how to cook it. All i know is rice and chicken and i am so sick of eating that. i think i could go my whole life never eating rice again hah!

but ya other than that the week was super slow and not much happening but we do plan to have a baptism this weekend of a young boy named christopher! i will let you all know about it next week! i love you and have a great week!

love

Well you can say that this week has been pretty interesting on my side of things here in Guyana! For those of you who dont know by now i got sick on sunday but you dont need to worry anymore it was just a bug i guess and the habits of missionaries only eating once a day isnt very good! it cause my stomache to react in the way that made the pain that i was in! but they gave me some Antibiotics and said to watch and things should get better!

We also had a fun run in with a snake in our apartment the other night. we had come home to grab something and i opened the door and to my surprize it was there but it couldnt really get any grip on our floor so it was really slow! i took a video of me chopping it with a knife. but boy that really gets your blood pumping fast haha!

Other than that it was a pretty long but good week and i loved the skype call that i got to have with the family even though the connection wasnt the best but we had a good talk and laugh and i love my family so much. i will see them and you all in 4 and 1/2 months and that is coming soon! I LOVE YOU!! have a great week! be safe

Love

Wow can you believe that mothers day is already here? This is the last skype that i will have here and i get to see you all in person again! i was just thinking and i reallized something ( now im not trunky but this is what i found out!) i have 20 weeks left and about 145 or so days left! wow that is so crazy! 

 

 Other than that on a more missionary note we had a slower week! I dont know what it is here i think the heat but it makes me so sick. i get a fever and runny nose so bad that i sneeze and my eyes cloud over and its only when i am in the sun! but i have to push through i found out that theraflu really helps so i carry that with my around when i go! 

The thing for this week that proves that i am in Guyana is that our washing machine broke about a week and a half ago so to do the laundry we have turned to doing little by little each day by hand an brush! and can you believe that my whites are still white haha! i even did some of my own sewing by hand this week and it looks good and sturdy! I guess i did learn from all that time i sat at Moms feet and watched her sew!!!

  This week we also started to teach this wonderful young family. Ravi & Nadira who have a little 2 year old that turns 3 on the 23rd of july! i found ellerie a boyfriend haha jk:) but they are so sweet and really accepting they are working on getting married so that they can be baptized on the 23 of May! we hope to help them with that Nadira finally got all of her papers so they should be able to do it now! 

We also have a few more on their way toward baptism and they are looking to be really promising i just hope that we will be able to help them!

 I also found out this week that Lyn Tyson the lady i was teaching in Barbados was baptized this last saturday and i was so happy for her! they say she is doing great and really grasping the gospel and all that she needs to do! wow miracles are happening here in the west indies and i am so greatful that i get to be apart of it! 

I hope that you have a wonderful week and i will talk to you next week im not sure if it will be monday yet because it is election day in guyana and i heard it is pretty crazy so we will see. i will let you know throughout the week! I love you!

Love
