Dear Family,
Sorry I am writing late; Monday was Trinidad's Independance Day, so they switched our P-Day. It was a pretty chill holiday, not many people on the roads. Election Day is next week, though, so there have been a lot of rallies. That is a lot more fun than at home: they will have a huge truck with speakers BLASTING LOUD MUSIC and people dancing around it. They have two main parties just like in the States. We managed to get hold of some merchandise from both parties, so I'll bring it home as a souvenir :)
It has been an exciting week: we met a cool guy named Rohan last week. He owns a car shop, so we went over Monday to help him sand a car so it can be painted. It was a lot more work then you might think. The primer has to be sprayed on and sanded off several times before it is actually painted. Rohan is very prepared to hear the gospel. He says that he is blessed to have us over, and he said that if he knew the Book of Mormon was true, he would definitely get baptized.
Last week I went on a shadow of the Point Fortin sisters, Sister Graziano and Sister Tongi. We climbed up a steep hill to see an investigator, and then Sister Tongi carried me back down. On Saturday, we went back down to Point for the baptism of an investigator that Sister Galea'i had taught. It was in the sea, with a storm rolling in, so it was really cool :D
Some other cool things: we went by an investigator named Antonio the other night, and about six of his friends were over playing cards. At first we were thinking that maybe this wasn't a good idea, but when we sat down the guys asked some very sincere questions and enjoyed talking about the Restoration. They were cool guys. We have also been having a lot of success in seeking referrals from members; I don't know what it is, but they have just been giving them to us. And the people they refer us to are very prepared people, too. Basically, we are having a good time here in Couva. I really love it here.
Zone Conference is tomorrow. Elder Hugo Martinez from the Seventy is going to be talking to us. On Friday is Missionary Leadership Conference, which I am going to because I am an STL. So, it's going to be an exciting week!
Good news: I might be getting my cast off tomorrow!
