September 22, 2008

Ya, taking the pictures was the easy part. Getting to the locations isnt always that easy. But we're young missionaries, so an hour and a half hike isnt so bad. (both ways, straight up and then down).
Last week we had almost three days of solid rain. The nice part of it was that it cooled the island off, so I wasnt as sweaty. It was nice. Then Sunday was the first day that it stopped raining. Perfect for steves baptism. I'll have to send those pics later, didnt bring my card. He was so happy though. Afterwards he was saying that he had been ready for this all of his life. We ran into him today, and he told us about how he had been helping his sister out earlier that day. She was very astonished, and told him that the spirit of the Lord must already be working inside him. His nickname has always been "Brotha," But starting today everybody has been calling him "christian Brotha." It's really funny. And the Lord has already started blessing him. Today some random guy came up to him with some GIANT Breadfruit and gave him one. So he roasted it up and enjoyed the blessings of the Lord.
Elder Haag is doing great. Were still truckin along. We just bought a basketball so were planning on having some good fun this pday. We played last week as well. It was great, I schooled some black people, Ryan better watch out. But Im really rusty.
Zone Conference will be in St. Kitts tomorrow. And we dont fly back until Thursday morning. It sucks how much time we have to spend out of our area just for a meeting. O, well. Hopefully I'll be getting the package that you sent last time. They called me up and asked for permission to open it up and pack all the stuff. So the AP's might be planning on bringing it with them. (I'm wishing)
Love
Elder Osterloh
