I moved to Lynbrook. it's like 20 minutes west from Bay Shore. in the next county. It's funny, at the meeting, I was thinking I'd go into the city-walking. and then they started from zone 9, instead of 1 like they always do. Then they don't say my name in 9, which is kinda where I wanted to go, then they read 8, and I wasn't staying there, then they read 7, and put me with Elder Jean-Baptiste. who is Haitian. and afterward I talked to Heagren and he said my face was priceless, like I was so surprised to not be in the city and he's the last person I would have thought to go with. So because he's Haitian, he speaks Creole, and so I'm learning it as well. So that's kinda cool.

This is also his second to last transfer, so if I'm here one more time, I could kill him. Which would be cool. But he's cool, his accent is pretty hard to understand most of the time. Oh and like my second day here, he kinda crashed the car. It was more like a side swipe and now the whole left side is scratched up. So now I'm driving. And it's fun. But JB tells me where to go because he knows where everything is, so we don't use the gps, and so I miss the turns like about 10 times a day. Sometimes he's not paying attention, or he says left and I go left, but not the sharp left. And because there are a MILLION roads here I have no idea where they are. and I miss them all the time.

But the more we drive around and miss roads, I'll eventually know where they are. And I'm starting to get how to drive here. Like if you're gonna change lanes, you better do it FAST. and it's good to have another guy in the car because I'll be looking back and he can look ahead for me.

Oh and the ward is too small to be called a ward so it's a branch. it's TINY!!! like at the beginning of elders quorum there were 8 people. Oh and Jean-Baptiste is district leader. and we have a "dating" district. Just a pair of sisters and elders. I didn't take any pictures yet, so I'll have to get on that some time soon.

Idk what else to say, I'm gonna git.

I'm not sure my new address.. 72 Marshall Ave. Lynbrook. ya that's it. We live upstairs in a small house.

Izatt knows way more than I do, plus he's not in a Creole area anymore, and he's training!

I didn't make up that name, everyone knows it as that. This week went by pretty slow, but that's normal for my first time. Once I get used to things, it'll speed up, as usual. Like those last 3 transfers, where'd they go?!    anyways..

By the next few transfers, we'll have about 250 missionaries total. And we'll double the sister's number from around 30 to 60 - I guess that's double.. idk for sure. But it seems like all the sisters might be training soon. That would be cool for me to train too. But I still feel new to this whole mission thing. It would be hard to train someone to do something when I'm not too good at it myself. or something.

I hope Seth does something to finish his mission. like put him in an office or something.. that's too bad.

Oh you know how I said I was gonna send something home? well I didn't do it yet. I gotta find a small bubble mailer for it. cuz I was thinking about sending some other things home as well. But now that I moved I don't have them to send anymore. So I'll just find a package today or something.

OH! I just remembered something. So we went to a family's house for dinner the other day and their house is massive, but what's awesome is their custom painting of the tree of life story. They had some guy they found at an art show read the story and paint it how he saw it. and it turned out really great. Also they have a handful of life-sized wooden nutcrackers! like my height! I didn't take a pic of them cuz I didn't have my camera, but I thought of Mom when I saw them, cuz she likes them. and they were just huge. haha..

I made a mormon.org profile. I didn't put much on it cuz I'm boring. but the picture is okay.
