I have so much to tell you and I dont really know where to begin. So after leaving AL I arrived in Trinidad @ 12 that night. I spent nearly 2 hours in customs and wasn't able to get to bed until about 2 that morning. We met with Pres. Gamiette that next morning. He is absolutely amazing!! I cant describe him. We had dinner at his home and we met with his wife and had a wonderful spirtiual meeting. And then we found out where we would be serving. I have been assigned to the City of Uitkijk!! It is in the southeast part of Suriname!! My comp is Elder Fernandes from Belgium!! He is an amazing guy!! I have learned so much from him. Suriname is everything and more than I imagined. It is beautiful. The people are so kind. At least the ones I have met with. It is so hot, I have never sweat so much in my life, and PB and J's are a 2-3 time a day occurance, but I love it!! Trinidad was amazing!! But I dont think you should go there. You would die! People drive like maniacs and you wouldnt be able to handle it! But it was beautiful!! Everything about the place. It was covered with trees and flowers and these houses waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy up on the mountain side. I dont know how they got them up there!! I had a blast. Elder Buhler and Elder Helms the AP's were so good to us. Roti and doubles were amazing. I will send pictures later. The Jansens are soooo soooo kind. They are so good to us. Everything has been perfect these first few days. I am having a lot of difficulty understanding the people but i know it will come. My comp speaks perfect Dutch and I asked him to only speak Dutch to me so hopefully it will help. But I dont have too much to report. I fell into the swewage drain today!. Thankfully only up to my shins. It was a great first pday. The food is delicious!! The winkle (store) is awesome. and I love the native language!! Everything is amazing! My comp. and I are reopeneing an area so things are going to be tough. But I know with the help of the Lord we can make it through it. Send my love to everyone!! I will write more next week!!
Love,
Mason
