Here is a picture of Junior, myself and the girl that we just baptized, Adelphe Jousil.

Well my reign as senior comp has ended. LOL. Elder Alger is now the District Leader so he needs to be the SC.

The reasons for the transfers are because some new missionaries were coming in mid-transfer so people were switched around a lot. I don’t know why I had to go, and I definitely have no idea why I am in this area. I have prayed and fasted about it, and what I do know, is that this is where the Lord wants me at this time. We had to get a new place because there wasn’t enough room for all the elders in Fort Lauderdale so they had to find a place for us to live.

I feel fantastic; my wrist only hurts if something pulls back on my thumb. I had surgery on my eye, in fact the doctors were surprised at what they saw, and there was a poor little intern with the eye doctor who got a little scared when he looked at my eye, lol, so funny. They thought it was just a bacteria build up, but when they cut into it they weren’t real sure because it was different than what they were expecting. So they took a couple of sample pieces to the lab. I haven’t heard back yet and I go in for a checkup in 5 days I think. By the way, what’s with all the surgeries? I go 23 years without one then all of the sudden I get 2 in the same year, pretty crazy.

The teaching pool is great, we found 5 kids ranging from 11-17 and they are very interested, so we will see what happens with them. We also have a woman named Netti Baker who will be baptized on the 23rd, and a guy named Ronni who is 17 and he has a date to be baptized on the 3rd of July. I am learning a little Jamaican Creole and Haitian Patwa languages. It is kind of fun . We are still studying in Spanish each day, but in this area, I doubt we will use it much.

Here is a picture of George Halas, Bro Halas’ son, and me. He was in my last area
