Hellooooo mom,
Well, Its been an interesting week. We've been recieving plenty of attention because Obama won the elections. Everybody in Dominica was routing for him because of race. Thats all it really came down to here.
Sad to report that neither Bensen nor Birdy have been baptized. Bensen has some doubts, and got stuck working in Roseau the day of his baptism. Whether on purpose or not, I'm not sure. But he is still excited to meet with us. Birdy is still overcoming Coffee. She just doesnt seem to believe that it is all that bad. When it comes down to it, she jsut is justifying herself.
Transfers are in. Another 6 weeks in Dominica, which most likely means the rest of my mission will be here. I hope I can keep myself motivated that long. There are still people that I havent ever seen or talked to though, so the work never ends.
Well, in the whole language circle I would say that I am losing my ability to speak any language. I to be started to speakin like de peoples here. Plus I've given up on French. I'll just stick to Spanish. I've decided to read the whole D & C in Spanish before I come home. Thats my goal. I believe that will help with the whole relearning Spanish.
