I'm glad to have my second p-day - I really need to do my laundry! I live day to day with my pants - I only have 4 pairs and its hard to keep them clean even for just two uses! I go through a shirt a day but I have plenty of those. When it rains here everything becomes muddy including my pants and shoes. To best describehow bad it is, when I wash my pants the water becomes brown. Oh wash...haha that's an ... interesting process. We have a crummy old wash "machine", if you could even call it that - you have to fill up 3 buckets of water from a spout that has less water pressure than the bathroom sink I used at home, and dump it into the "washer". Then put in all the clothes and dump soap and a lot of bleach in it. It washes for 15 minutes, and afterwards I have to drain the water, fill up the bucket 3 more times, and dump in the rinse water. 15 minutes after that I then drain the water again. The clean clothes are reduced to a large knot that makes a rubix cube seem like a fisher price toy. I put the clothes in a spinner that gets out the extra water. We hang the clothes up to dry on a line and then start over again for my colors! I have grown to appreciate mom in so many ways. Also, just to let you know, I don't hvae to wash my fruit in bleach here - Trinidad is one of the cleaner islands in my mission. I'm okay for now.
So we had a baptism this last Saturday and we have three more this Wednesday.I've been asked this time to perform the baptism for 2 of the members in the family! We are also teaching a woman and her boyfriend who live in a rasta village. Ever heard of a Rasta turned Christian!?Too bad it's in a font and not in the ocean, I haven't even seen the ocean since I got here! I sent off a batch of Letters last week including some postcards that are pretty sweet. I took a bunch of photos that I want to send, but I don't have a card reader, or my cable, so i'm going to go buy one - I guess you will have to wait till next week to get some pics. 1836!
(This is the family that Russell was talking about baptizing)
