I give you my Indian name: small girl with strong handshake - 11 April 2015

Hola! I know I saw you only yesterday, but hello again! We've had a fantastic week, preparing Shunta for baptism; we were sure her family was going to be sick of us by the end of it. Her mom came, and when we visited them after, she said she felt very emotional during the service, and she was so very grateful that her daughter was baptized. Karen is a great woman: we call her our Trinidadian mom :) The baptismal service was awesome! Pretty much all the YW came; the room was packed. After, most of them came up and bore their testimonies. If you couldn't tell, we have a great YW group.

Shunta's brothers caught an iguana and let Sister Cole kill it. Well, she tried; she wasn't hitting it hard enough, and the brother said, "You're hurting it! It's hurting me watching you hurt it!" and he took the cleaver and BAM one time took the head off. Then they cooked it and fed it to us last night---with the skin still ON. It was interesting; kinda tasted like . . . tasteless chicken. Of course, there was so much pepper sauce on it I couldn't hardly taste anything else. They said they would feed us rabbit on Wednesday o.O

Also, pretty sure I did not say this yesterday, Mom: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! It was great talking to all yuh.

Scripture of the week: Mosiah 18:26 --- the blessings of missionary work :D

I love you lots! Have a great week,
