Hi Mom!!
Don't worry about the stuff to send me, the customs fees are crazy, so I don't want you guys to end up with a ridiculous fee for sending me clothes. I'll just get some here. This week was the fastest week yet.
We traded off with the APs Tuesday and Elder Largent took me out in our area. he was trained in the area just like me, and he said I definitely don't act like a greenie, and that he was treating me like a regular missionary which I thought was pretty cool.
We struggled again with our investigators coming to church, but we'll be better this week. I was able to keep one of our investigators from dropping us though, he almost didn't even let us sit down, but Elder Watchman got him to let us in and while he was out looking for a scripture I was able to help him understand what he could do to get the answer he was looking for. It was a neat experience.
The people here are so great, they love the missionaries and they take care of us. the Rampersads who I told you about last week I think live right next to us and they are awesome. I hope to go through the temple with them when I get back cuz I think that's when they're planning to go.
I'm glad you're back to a normal schedule, how's everything? You must be getting excited, only a few weeks till Eric's back. I can't wait. Send me lots of pictures.
I love you mom!!!
I'm working hard I promise!!!

Hey Dad!!
That's so cool that you got to coach the kids one more time, and that Nolin got top ten! I hope he gets picked!! I'm so stoked that you're going to Virginia's!! That made me smile, I'm jealous! I do pullups on our stairs and a lot of pushups and abs. I'm gonna start curling a bucked full of either dirt or water and I've jump roped a couple of times. I get a lot of cardio cuz we walk pretty much everywhere. We take travel sometimes but primarily walk and you're constantly sweating.
We had some good food this week! Roti is like a bread type stuff that is bomb, but its so bad cuz its just carbs. I'm lucky we walk so much cuz I think the way people eat down here I would just turn into an elephant. We have a mango and an avocado tree in our backyard though so I'll be munching on that from now on I just found out about it today. I miss you guys a lot but know that I'm working my tail off.
The weather is starting to go into like rainy/hurricane season, but hurricanes dont effect Trinidad so much as the little islands. So its been hot and cool cuz of the cloud cover and rain. It rains like no other here. It will be a torrential downpour for 5 minutes and then just stop on a dime. Then it gets suuuuuper hot when the sun comes out again. but I love it here. I'm working hard and I've been working on level one certification its this thing where you memorize scriptures and things to help you become a better teacher. The current assistant was level one week 5, so thats my goal haha.
Oh I forgot to tell you, I broke the MTC record for consecutive 3's made. I hit 17 in a row. Pretty cool I just forgot to say something when it happened. I love you so much dad, and iIhope I'm making you guys happy with how I'm working. The work is tough but its the most rewarding in the world. I love you so much. Have a great week.
Nick
