Alright I'm starting this weeks blog off with what I ate for dinner last night. It came from the ocean and has suction cups....yup it was a squid!!! Crazy, it was really chewy and didn't really have much flavor but it was alright. So yea for the first time I ate curry squid, how many people can say that? President Hendricks came up yesterday for branch conference and it was awesome. He is a great teacher. Its always good to be around President. We had some good lessons this week, since we are pretty much white washing the area we have been trying to get to know the people here and the area, we spent like 2 hours calling every single name in the phone trying to set up appointments and it actually worked well. Getting to know the area has been fun because its all in the mountains and its green and the weather is cool. We went to this one place where its a big grass Meadow surrounded by some big hills. It looked just like a big meadow up to round lake where we would go fishing. Being up here has really made me miss the mountains and camping. I cant wait to get back and go to the mountains. I want to see if mom's cousin will let me take her horses on a pack trip. We did some finding this week and didn't really find anybody that was prepared. One of the coolest things that happened this week was that i was able to go back to Mo bay and see the Sorensen's and also see all the people that I was teaching that got baptized. I saw Terry ann and chevelle and some others They were really excited. It was cool to be walking down the street and have people still remember me and call out. I loved serving in Mo Bay with Elder Conder. It was awesome. I also got to do a baptismal interview for Sean, he was another guy that Elder Conder and I were teaching and he got baptized yesterday so that was really special. I think that it is just as cool if not cooler to see people that you found and taught then you get transferred then you come back and they are baptized, it is really cool. There was a huge traffic jam on our way back to Ochi, there was a protest going on and a bunch of people put tires and trees in the road and stuff, so nobody could get by so we had to take the back road. We were waiting for like an hour in traffic though. Driving stick in Jamaica can be fun but when there is traffic its terrible. Hope everyone enjoys their thanksgiving dinner turkey, I have my fingers crossed that for my thanksgiving dinner I'll get to have some more curry squid!!
