I slept through an Earthquake

St Lucia is amazing!
It's sad to hear its getting cold in Canada again! It was starting to get kind of coldish here, but then it stopped raining and the sun came out again... and never went away again! haha it's sooo hot over here right about now. But hot is nice I guess! :) 
Lately I have really been missing rugby for some reason! I do not know why but rugby is such a fun sport!!
I love it here! And the work is really progressing!
This week was really good! I am realy happy about the order and the kind of companions I have been given. With Elder Schroeder I learned so much of the gospel, I learned all the facts and got to know the scriptures really well. My time so far with Elder Smith has taught me really how to use the spirit in all The lessons we teach. So combined with the two i have learned so much that is going to really help with my mission! 
Ah so you talked with Elder Bingham and Sister Sheltons Mothers? That is really cool, I actually really rarely get to see them now but Elder Bingham is one of my favourites haha he is funny ans oh yeah he can quote movies like its nothing haha. But yes St Lucia is amazing in case you didnt tell Sister Sheltons mom that already. 
Oh and something interesting, There was an earthquake here! I guess it was while I was sleeping... I slept right through it :/ But I guess you could feel it shaking and it woke all the other missionaries up except me and Elder Fiame. They say it was a 6.7 on the rictor scale. But there was no damage so its ok! oh but apparently they say there is also a tsunami coming soo just remember I am on the safe side of the island and I'm sure that people are just assuming about the tsunami.. so don't worry about me :) 
Elder Smith is an Awesome missionary. His knee is a little sore and it acted up yesterday, so who knows maybe my area will become a car area :) haha I wish but probably not. But his knee is doing goodish better than before he came home the first time ! 
This week was an interesting week for church. according to the numbers we put in weekly we had 2 investigators at chuch, but we actually had 7or 8. so it was good! the only thing we would really need to work on in this island is the dedication of some of the members. i think they just need a calling so they need to come to church.. but The meeting attendance has been going up. the highest we had one week was about 78 and this week we had like 56 i think. but the church is really growing here! 
I found out today that I am so excited for conference. never thought I would miss hearing those talks as much as I do. I actually have one session of the 2007 October conference, I have watched it like 3 times now haha 
I am so happy to be a missionary. we have a lot of progressing investigators, and it's fun to explore new areas :)
Anyways, I love it here and am excited to keep being a missionary! 
Have a Great week! And tell Grandma i Love her :) 
Love You very much!
