   Bonjou muen fanmi (Hello my family)!
             How are all of you doing? bon? Anfom? Map bule? (Good? Awesome? On fire?). Haha things have been awesome out here. I've definately been tested and tried alot, but i'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel. well, Starting from when I was at the airport, me and all of my fellow elders flew to the mtc and got our nametags and were led to our classroom. I met my teacher Fre Nelson, Who only talked in creole all day. I had to communicate with him through gestures and some english, but it was really cool, he's an awesome guy. I later met my district and my companion, Elder Kelley. He is such an amazing guy. He is a convert of two years and could probably beat brother rhead in a book of mormon trivia. Well, probably not, but he's awesome. He has such a strong testimony and is really helping me out. Oh. And he's black. I finally have the black brother i've always wanted! Haha but i'm slowly adapting to everything here. it's so complicated! We started teaching discussions in creole on the second day, and Elder Kelley and I have taught about 3 since then. He is picking up on the creole SO fast, but i'm still struggling. For a while, I had a huge problem with this. Elder Kelley is an all around all-star missionary. He is always full of joy and spunk, befriends every elder he meets, knows everything about the church, and has an immovable testimony.  Oh, and I was set apart as district leader! So that added a TON more stress. I now have to lead my district in so many things and be an example to them. So after feeling really stressed and put down, I prayed harder then i've every prayed for the first few days. I'm getting stronger every day, slowly learning the language, and feeling more connected to my savior. And dad, since that morning, I absolutley have been putting forth 100% effort. The trials and hardships I've had aren't slowing me, like I thought they would, but they're making me much stronger, and giving me a greater desire to serve. Well, my 30 minutes are up on the computer, so i'll write you next week with a lot more info and some pictures! I love you family!
