Yes, it was SO great to hear from you all last tuesday! It was so hard for me to cut you off like that to get on the plane, but I had to. For some reason they were loading early, but we got there right on time. So things have been super crazy since we last talked! I've met my trainer Elder Badger ( I think President Packard was supposed to send a picture of us that he took the first night we were there.. did you get it?), have already spent many days walking and talking to many Haitians, and getting used to our new district/zone. I just sent a letter with most of the news on how things have been going, so I don't want to repeat, but it's been overwhelming and great at the same time. There is so much for me to learn and so many people I need to get to know, but I'm happy. Logically there is no reason for me to be happy. I'm in a strange new place, trying to speak a language I don't know, preaching a gospel I'm still trying to understand. But I'm happy! The Lord is definitely blessing me with enough courage and strength to push on, but letting me do the work and figure it out on my own at the same time. Things have been great though. I've been able to have tons of super delicious Haitian food already, and I've gotta say it's one of my favorite foods now. They all make rice with sos pwa (bean sauce). It's like refried beans but really liquidy and more seasoned delicious. They also make those fried plantain chips called banan peze we had at the Petersons every time, and usually serve it all with some kind of chicken. AHH it's soo good :D. This week is going to be hard though, cause only two people signed up to feed us. But we're still very grateful for that. Well family, I don't know how much time I have left on the computer. The library computers automatically log you off after a certain ammount of time and will delete your email, so I'm going to end it now just to be sure. I'm sorry I couldn't say more this time, but most of my feelings I wrote in the letter which should get there soon. And mom, our president allows violins, so if you could somehow ship mine here that would be great! I miss that thing so much. I also need my retainer, and If I could have that hat that grandma and grandpa gave me, that'd be great too! They're kinda in style up here among the missionaries :D. Well family, I love you all tons! I'll make sure to write more next time, and collect my thoughts so I can remember what to say. Renmen ou tout anpil!
Love Elder Davey
