So I almost sent my letter to your email address at Delta. Luckily I caught myself.
Anyways, Things have been going really well. Birdy is working on dropping coffee. She just doesnt quite have it yet. So we arent sure whether she will make her date. Only time will tell. Its coming up really quickly though. We are also teaching a guy named Bensen. He's Haitian and he came to Dominica for work, but isnt really working right now. He is solid though and has a date for November 8th. Things are really starting to pick up.
Zone Conference went well. It feels like we are there the entire week. But only two days. and travel. It just feels like we are out of our area for way too long. President Dewsnup taught us a lot of good things. They want us to find more people, using different ideas and ways to find them. He says that you cant expect to find more people to teach if your stuck in the same routine. They are also pushing really hard that we should be working better with our members. There's always so much to remember its hard to keep it all organized. But we do our best.Anyways, thats about it.
Everybody tries to get me really trunky and say that I'll be home in no time, but to me it still seams off in the distance.
All the locals here keep asking us about the elections. Because we are Americans. and basically the only channels they have here is fox news and cnn. So thats all they watch. They all get angry or dissapointed when i tell them that I havent really been following it at all.
