We had a fantasticle week. We have 3 people with baptism dates: Kerry-Ann, Yolanda and Nakeeta. We had a good turnout on Sunday. Jana and Angie came to church for the first time and they both said that they really loved it and they will be there next week. Angie is a police officer and she has 2 kids. Rihanna and Rahaan. She is super nice and really smart. The second time that we went over there she knew and remembered everything that we taught her about the restoration. Jana is a nurse and we met her last week the same day as Angie, they live very near each other. Jana is really cool and participated a lot in church. Sacrament meeting was good, the last speaker took an interesting approach, he basically called out his wife for not being at church and held up a picture so everyone could see. But the first part of his talk was pretty good. Monty and I were sitting on opposite sides of the chapel and when the speaker started his "tangent" we both looked at each other like clockwork and were like "crap". When you have an investigator at church one of your biggest concerns is that they don't get weirded out by something that is said, and I know we were both like "Oh no" But it didn't phase Angie or Jana. The lesson in gospel principles was the law of chastity so yea quite the first Sunday for the Angie and Jana. It can sometimes be a touchy lesson but Brother Palmer did an awesome job teaching it, he is a great teacher. He told a funny story about when he was biking on some cliffs and freaked out and stopped his bike, his leader came up to him and asked him what was wrong and he was like i got to stop and his leader asked Where are your eyes Wyn, where are you looking and he was like " I'm looking at the freaking cliff man." And his leader told him to look at the safe side. what was suprising was that Angie and Jana were participating the most out of the whole class. After the lesson Chad Carter came up to us and was like "you guys are probably looking at all the girls in Bikinis huh...You dirt bags" It was hilarious, the Carters are awesome and Chad is one of the funniest people in the world. We had dinner with him and his wife Megan on Thursday and it was a lot of fun. We were going to go to a place called grand old house, we get there and walk up to the front and I had to go to the bathroom. The host guy came up to us and asked us what the party name was and I asked him where the bathroom was and blew right past him leaving the question up to Monty. I was in the bathroom and then the door opens and Monty walks in and I'm like what did you tell him and he was like "he couldn't find the carters so i just came in here" So we go out and sit down and wait for Chad to get there. He calls us and tells us that we are going to go to eats cafe instead so we get up and leave and on the way out there is a table with mints so i grab one and Monty grabs like 3....well it turns out that they are the best mints in the world and I told Monty to go and get more and he was like only if you come with me. So i was like fine, I was driving and had pulled out into the middle of the parking lot....so i just leave the car running right in the middle of everything and we go and each grab a handful.....it was pretty funny. Chad served his mission in Rome and he had a lot of cool stories. They invited us over for my birthday so I'm pretty excited for that. On Friday we drove forever to see the Powells. They are an awesome family, on the whole drive over we were thinking of something fun to teach them but by the time that we got there we had nothing. We were starving, we were really hoping they had dinner, for 2 reasons, one we were really hungry and 2 we could not think of a thing to teach them. We get there and sister Powell had tacos, It was perfect. There little boy Chado is really funny. He jumped off a chair with wheels and almost biffed it on his head and his parents were like "oh no" and freaked out but then he jumps up and was like that was totally cool!!!!!! and holds his hand up for a high five looking around at all of us waiting for someone. Saturday, Sister Felelli fed us and it was a good dinner. We had a really good salad with smoked raw salmon and it was really good, I love salmon. Monty didn't like it so i had to eat his fish. That is one thing I wish this island or mission had, lakes or rivers to fish in, I want some trout. Then we had some really good shrimp pasta. Her husband is a really good cook.
