-Dropping my dad (trainer) E. Gomez off at the Airport to go home.

-Finding 5 new investigators in less than 2 hours
-Seeing a Recent Convert risk getting fired so she could come to church because "life gets reeaal sucky soon as i miss a Sunday" (quote, unquote)"
-Seeing police, fire truck, and ambulance sirens every day.
-Getting to drive the Nissan Frontier. Truck Baby!
-Getting to talk to President Richardson pretty much every day.
-12 yr old "hood kids" tellin us we better be careful round here
-Not getting to sleep
-Spending half a day on a computer
-Eating lots of Haitian and Jamaican food.
It's been a lot of fun so far, and these next 3 weeks are going to be especially crazy. I can't remember who first warned me, but who-ever said it was right: there's so much more to do than I could have ever thought up. It's great though!
A little more info: My Companion is Elder Christensen. He has 2 more transfers including this one. He's a creole missionary, and right now we have permission to teach Creole because the ward was recently split so the Haitian Elders in Fort Laud are trying to cover a ward in English and Creole as well as our branch in Creole. When those lessons come up, I just get to hang out and play with the little Haitian kids and their toys and pretend like I understand what they're saying.

The area is really diverse. It goes from pretty hood to the richie-richies. Lot's of really humble, really really nice people. Everyone respects us. Except the Hebrew Iraelites but they just have beef because they believe Jesus is Black and they don't like that we hand out pictures of "white jesus." i love the area! It's just a whole different animal. It's also really weird teaching and praying in english. Took a couple days to get used to.
Hope everyone is great! Thank you for all the emails of support and love.
