Creed's letter

Happy Mothers Day in 6 days!

So we played some basket ball today at this awesome court right next to the ocean side. It was really awesome and beautiful I have some cool pictures. The bad part was that it began to pour while we were playing. I guess I wouldn't say that was bad though because it felt amazing to play in. We played for a good bit in the rain but then it started getting pretty bad and we hid under the bleachers for a bit. It was pretty awesome though but I sucked it up and hardly scored any. Basket ball is really cool but I did not grow up playing it so sometimes I don't like it. After the rain stopped I was so wet and soaked I thought the sun was going to evaporate me up into the clouds, I think that's actually what happens when people get translated.

The work is going really good here. We got a ton of new investigators this week. We have also been teaching a lot of couples and families which is cool but sometimes I feel like a lot of them don't really have interest they just tell us they will listen to our message just to be nice. Only one of the new families we found came to church this week and it was just the mom. She is way cool though we talked to her a couple weeks ago and she didn't come to church and we couldn't get in contact with her for a while but some how she came in contact with 2 members of the church and they invited her. Finally we got a hold of her on Saturday and she came to church. She is way cool but super shy. We will get rid of that though. We 2 freakin awesome American missionaries of the Lord no one can deny this!

Also a couple came with some members to church this week so we will teach them and see how they are. We taught a couple this week and it was really cool they asked us what were some of the rules in the church so we decided to explain Law of chastity and find out if they were married and of course their not but they both said they are willing and told each other they love each other. I think that is the first time I have seen that in this country. Sadly the wife is an illegal Haitian so it makes marriage super hard and expensive but they say they want to be a part of the church.

Our old couple missionaries finished a while ago so I think the mail system is getting backed up without their help so I haven't seen a letter from Kate yet but I will write her. And yes you may change anything in my room if you want I don't mind.

Cant wait to talk to you all on Sunday! I think we are going to do it later at night so probably about 6 o clock your time.
Sorry my letter is so boring I cant remember anything cool that went on really
