Hey Mom!!
This week was awesome! it absolutely FLEW BY!! Elder Watchman and I worked really hard and increased the number of member lessons we had, and it paid off big time. We had 3 out of the 5 main investigators we're teaching come to Church, and Sasha is getting baptized this coming Friday the 28th, MY FIRST BAPTISM!!!! so so so so so excited for that. We had two others accept baptism dates, and one of our other prospective baptizee's came to Church, he is a military guy so his schedule is nuts. We haven't met with him in 3 weeks but we're going to be meeting with him Wednesday.

Curepe is such a great area. The ward members are super loving and solid, and I'm right in President Gamiette's backyard, so I've gotten to see him a whole bunch before he leaves. His last fireside was Sunday, and today we went to Port of Spain for P-Day. We played basketball and ping pong, practiced the Haka (the thing that the Samoan rugby players do before games) and preformed that for Sister Gamiette at the Mission Home. It was pretty cool. He is an amazing amazing man. I have learned so much from him in just the short time i've been able to serve with him.
One of my favorite elders, Elder So'oto is going home this week. Crazy how fast this transfer has gone. The AP's had a baptism Saturday and we found out our transfer calls. I am staying in Curepe, but Elder Watchman is going to south; Point Fortin. I'm being mothered (thats what they call your second companion) by Elder Whitlock. I meet him either Wednesday or Thursday, he's coming from St. Vincent I believe. Elder Watchman told me they wouldn't have done that if they didn't have confidence in me helping lead the area, and that in either the transfer after this one or my 4th I'll be training. I'm working my butt off, so I hope that that's the case. I thought for sure that we would be staying together, but honestly I am ready for a new experience. Elder Watchman has had 11 transfers and 10 different companions. I am glad to have been trained by him. I learned a lot about myself and the things I want to improve on as a missionary from him and I am grateful for that.
I am glad that you survived your week, I love you so much mom, let me know how the game was you lucky duck!!
Love you so much,
Nick
Love you so much,

Dad!!!
So glad things are picking up! I have learned out here that the busier you are the better it is! We have been working hard and had 3 investigators at church this week. Such a good feeling after the efforts we put in. I had a trade off with one of the Zone Leaders where I led him around our area this Tuesday, I guess they do it as a barometer for how I'm doing and my trainer and the area. The Zone leader told me that I'm going to be a zone leader and probably an assistant because of where I am at the end of my first transfer. I am not sure, I would love for that to happen but we will see, if it doesn't it won't be for lack of effort; I'm working my rear off!

Mom tells me that you went to the M's Sox game this weekend you lucky duck! How was it? Pictures? How are they doin? I heard Miami won the title so people can finally get off of LeBron's back. Anyway back to missionary work. We have a girl named Sasha who is going to be baptized this friday!!!!! SO EXCITED MY FIRST BAPTISM! Hopefully first of many here in Curepe. She is solid, and aside from some silly discussion about who is going to do it everything is going along smoothly. We have a couple more set up for the next few weeks, so this transfer will more than likely go by even faster than the last! I am staying here in Curepe and Elder Watchman is going to Point Fortin. My new companion is named Elder Whitlock from St. Lucia or St. Vincent I'll meet him Wednesday. I know I've learned a lot but this has run its course I think. Elder Watchman told me that he thinks I'll be training either my 3rd or 4th transfer. We'll see though, I'd love that I think.
I love Curepe, so I'd love to train a missionary here. We shared this weekend with President close by, he leaves on Friday. So nuts, I've been out 2 months today. Doesn't feel like that. I love you so much Dad, . How have workouts been? New transfer, new companion, baptisms lined up. That's what this work is all about. I have learned so much about who I am and why I am here on this Earth, my testimony has grown so much, I am just grateful to be a part of this work. I know that angels are around me because of my calling, your obedience and example, as well as your prayers. I love you more than I can express dad. Keep up everything you're doing.
