St. Vincent is great! The roads are a mess though. They are just very narrow with ditches on the sides and potholes everywhere. It is very hilly and mountainous here, so things are pretty spread out on different sides of different hills and such. There are almost no addresses here, so it makes it difficult to figure out where someone lives and also to write it in the area book. Sister Crompton has started drawing little maps on the investigator records to show where to find them. People here are very polite. They expect you to say hello, good morning or whatever, and they say "yes, please" or "no, please" in answer to any yes or no question. Our apartment is actually really nice. It has a washing machine that is hooked up to water AND a dryer. We are spoiled. We have at least two little gecko friends living in our apartment with us currently, but so far nothing too horrific. We don't have air conditioning, but we open the balcony door and we get plenty of breeze. We have a fan too that we direct at us at night. The past couple days it has started to rain really hard with lots of wind at random times. It never lasts long, but it can get pretty intense.
We have some current investigators and even a couple of progressing ones. There is one family in which the 10 year old daughter was baptized on my birthday and her mom is getting baptized this Saturday, so we are really excited about that. They are a really special family that were truly prepared by the Lord. The daughter likes to go teaching with us and her sweet testimony really adds to the spirit in our lessons. It is wonderful here! I will attach some pictures.
Love,
Sister Bratt
