this week has been really good. even though its only been 5 days since i talked to you last its crazy how 2 days makes such a huge difference! so we had district conference this week and it is nothing like the conferences we had in the states. i never knew how lucky i was to live so close to other members to be able to physically attend the stake meetings! here we do it over skype and we all know how reliable skype is! and even harder was that it was in french because it was in Guadeloupe! so Elder Telga had to translate it all and its just not the same. but it was still good i learned things from it and i know that others did as well! it was a great day as well because we had 6 investigators come to church and it couldve been more but Raj and beartina came just after again!! so it was really close to being 8 this time!!! it was so great to see all the work and how hard we have been trying to get people to church finally pay off!! and now we are trying even harder to help them make the steps of baptism and that is coming along really well to!!! we also got to do service on saturday and help a lady fix the road to her house it was really good and i love to do service and see the people so happy that we helped them! i love this work and so happy to be able to say im a missionary!! also this week i had to mow the lawn again! but now its not as bad it helps to relieve stress sometimes! i put pictures on dropbox. and i have to tell you. i eat fish all the time now. i never thought i would say that but its true and its so good here! and cheap so a missionary can buy it!!!!! so this week we had a great lesson with bernadette and can i say she is amazing! she shared her testimony on her side of the story on how we met here and it was amazing i am woriking on writing the whole story both sides and i will send it home in a letter but it is way to long for an e mail so i hope i can do that soon. she is being baptized the 8th of february and i am so excited and happy! so that was my week! not to full but it was only 5 days so next week will be more! i hope that you are all doing great and know that i love you! i hope to hear from you soon! i love you and have a great week. i will talk to you on monday! love you!

Love your elder
