43rd Week

Hey Dad and Family!

Suriname is doing great. We are just chugging along like a chu-chu train! That is what I told my President this last Saturday and then felt a bit silly as I also did the hand motions that go along with a chu-chu train. We are basically holding the same temperature like we always do but we actually just got rain yesterday and today. Of course though it didn't start to rain until we were out in it. Oh well! Such is life in the West Indies.

We currently have no investigators as we've baptized them all now. This last saturday, see photos sent in another email, we had the chance to have two investigators, a nine-year old child of record and a 14 year old, be baptized. It was fantastic. That makes three investgators this transfer and that is really good for an area that doesn't baptize a ton. We've just gotta find some more investigators and then we'll be good to go. I will be staying in Koewarasan for another transfer which will make it my fifth in a row or 7 1/2 months. That is okay as I really love the area and the branch but it is a long time without a steady streat of spagetti sauce. I do my best though by convincing other Elders to bring it too me.

Other then that all is pretty well. Sorry for the short email.

42nd Week

Once again, Nathan ran out of computer time prior to getting a message to the family. He is doing well. Transfers are this Friday/Sat so we will know next week if he is staying or going but he will not be going far as there are only 18 Dutch missionaries in the mission and they are all in Suriname.
