The toilet is white

Sak Pase!

so we are at the library again. the more i look around and see what people have here it makes me realize how well i had it off in mckinney. even looking at the library makes me gratefull for the one back home... it also makes me wish that i used it more back home too.

not much has happened in the missionary work here. last week durring one of our lessons after english class Marie-Francois braught a friend with her. this is super great but she is trying to prepare for baptism this next week and so we are going to have to teach her a lot of commandments in the next week that hopefully she wont have any problems with. the reason why her friend was such a problem was that he asked a lot of the same questions and once again our member that was present talked for WAY to long about why we dont pray to joseph smith. all i would have said in response to that question would be like "no we dont. did you not hear the opening prayer?" but Guerby the member there talked for about 30 min about it. bottom line the lesson had nothing to do about the gospel of Jesus Christ, which was the plan for the evening.

after that little shin-dig we got a nice lesson afterward from our trainer about everything we did wrong. it was really frustrating cause i feel like i explained everything right but then elder jean redid everything i said like they didnt understand. that was really the highlight of the week cause i view it as a turning point that our companionship is taking. our other investigator jamarie has on the other hand THE BEST lessons that we have ever given. they are in english so i think thats why they go a little better.

hes super awesome and has been doing everything that we have asked him to do. its totally messing with my mind cause i thought we would baptize the Dure family long ago but things keep getting pushed back and they have yet to develope a pattern of comming to church. i think jamarie is going to get baptized before them and we have been teaching the Dures for 3 weeks more than him.

well thats all the madness that has been happening with our investigators. besides that i have some good news that our toilet is WHITE. crazy huh? like i said before our pad was NASTY when we got there. we did deep cleaning last tuesday and everything is WHITE. its beautiful. i told elder jones that he could eat his dinner off the toilet seat cuase it was that clean but he didnt take my offer.

i have responded to everyones mail that i recieved last week (woah) so you should all be getting it in a few days. we are going to Coney Island today. its not an actual island but an amusement park that is on the boardwalk. its the origonal location where Nathan's hotdog stand started so ill be tasting some authentic newyork food in about a half hour.

so im not going to talk much about conference other than that i stayed awake for the first time in my life. one of the district leaders investigators showed up and he even showed to the priesthood meeting. all i can say is that if that dosnt get him baptized i dont know what will. it was really strong and kinda gave us a ilttle breather which was much needed after dealing with all the people that we teach with and who we teach.

thanks for all the mail and mom keep sending my friends emails. TYLER NEEDS TO RESPOND.

love you all and have a great week :)
