I'm all set to be a construction worker when I get back

It's been an interesting week. I know I say that pretty much every email, but I have done some things and gone some places I never have before.

We had a trade-off with our Sister Training Leader, Sister Giles, on Wednesday. Sister Giles is down in Point Fortin with my MTC companion, Sister Galea'i, so I went down to Point with her and Sister Galea'i came up to D'abadie. Point is very beautiful; it's more bush and less city than up north, so the drive was nice. I saw the ocean for the first time since Maracas Bay. Also a pitch lake, which was not quite so nice. We visited a less-active family that night, and I got to hold their baby rabbits! They were SO FLUFFY AND SOFT. It was ridiculous. I really hogged them :) Man, bunnies.

Sister Cole and Sister Galea'i apparently had an adventure while I was gone. Everyone was very intrigued by Sister Galea'i because she is tall and beautiful. There was a small earthquake and we ran out of water, so they had to go shower by the senior couple's apartment. I had a great time with Sister Giles. She's been out of a while and had some good advice. We also had fun chatting about Curepe ward, since that's where she was trained.

You're probably wondering about that subject line. Well, we did service for our elders' quorum president, Brother Duff. He's been building a wall around his house, and he let us and the elders come by to help him cast a cement post. So, I learned how to mix concrete. It was super-hard and I am still sore. But we had a good time; he let us put our names and hand prints on the cement and I wrote my name on his "missionary wall of fame." I guess I can use this information later; cement is the building material of choice over here.

Those are the highlights of the week. It's been a challenging week, but fun. Missionary work is many things, but dull is not one of them (unless you let it).

Oh, and funny thing: I made a peanut butter, tomato, and lettuce sandwich the other day, and Sister Cole thought that was super-gross and weird. She didn't try it, but she could not get over the fact that I ate peanut butter with tomato and lettuce! ;D Yeah, it tasted good.

Have a great week!

Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
