Hey everything is going good here.
It's so good to hear from home. I miss all of you guys so much, I am going to
try and send a letter home this week that might go into more details. It's very hot
and humid here, the people here are great. I
am serving in Spanish Town, google it if you want I guess. There are 2 branches
here and 8 missionaries. This is definitely a third world country, many people
are so poor and are living in poverty, People living in what they call zink, or
that wavy aluminum, but they all have tv and cell phones, even the kids.
Priorities. My companion is named Elder Wright, He is from Kingston. He is a
really good guy, strong in the faith, exactly obedient, he is a good trainer.
Jerk Chicken is good, I have had it twice now. Last
night the zone leaders that we are living with brought extra dinner from
their appointment home with them. It was
turkey neck, chicken feet, and beans. Glad I didn't hit that meal up last night. I tried it and honestly it wasn't too
bad, it was very bad!!! Ha we don't eat with members at all. Sometimes maybe
once a week if you’re lucky they say.
We
got a lot more missionaries than they are used to so they are dividing areas
AND where everyone sleeps…new missionaries came from the MTC and in Miami we
met up with 3 other missionaries whose visas got delayed, so 12 altogether, the
most this mission has ever received.
I haven't seen the ocean from
Jamaica yet, it was too dark when we flew in and I've been inland ever since. I
had a baptism yesterday, my first one, it
was really neat :) well I hope everything is going good at home. I miss you
guys a lot, the work out here is hard, I am on a bike all day everyday. It is a piece, but for Jamaican
standards it is really good, people always come up and want to trade bikes with
us. A lot of kids yell 'white man, white man' when we ride by. I can barely
understand people when they talk, but I am getting more used to it. Well time
is short, gonna try to send home some pics, love you, send me pics of my room
and stuff. Bye.
Love Elder Colton Harris
