aka "John Wayne Montgomery"


hey hey hey hey! any how what a week! today is a holiday and that means everything is all closed up. friday was a holiday (good friday) and now monday is like the day after easter or something i dunno! but this week has been pretty good it flew by thats for sure. i cant believe that april is already gone! this week we did tons of finding and knocking doors that has to be the most awkward approach to talk to some one. its just so weird. most people make an excuse or something. but we actually have found one good person this week by knocking doors! its way easier to just have them out in their yard and just walk up to them. i think cayman is alot like serving in the states but what would i know! yesterday had to be one of the funniest days and one of the best days! church was just amazing! the 3 speakers were good. the Englands they are leaving back to utah saturday. bro england has been here going to school and now they are leaving. thats a bummer. then sister bush spoke. she told a really good story. i dont really remember how it went but she said she was gonna email it to me so thats cool! some guy named Eric came to church about half way through sacrament i went up and met him. he said it was his first time here. he stayed through the whole time. in preisthood session they had him stand up and introduce himself he said honestly i have heard so many bad things about this church.... but he said i dont know why i dont see anything bad going on here. he said honestly i feel like i have been here before and i will definately come back! it was awesome!! such a good guy he participated in sunday school and priesthood. so hopefully he sticks around!!! after church we went to the Robinsons for lunch they made tacos. hit the spot!!!! then we went and took a little nap and then we were back at it. we went and saw some people that we had met earlier this week. we told them that we just wanted to present the message and then after that have them ask questions. that went way better than the first time we talked to them! Trevor is (hard headed) he said i will compare your words to mine. we said man just ask god. thats all we ask. he still never commited to it. but the girl winsome did so that was good! after that we went to Birdys church. we promised her if she visited ours we would visit hers so we had to keep our promise! right when you walk in if you are visiting you sign your name on a paper so they can introduce you. El Dale just put trent dale well i put John Wayne Montgomery!!!!! I didnt tell dale i did that. they announced my name and i stood up and waved dale was busting up it was so funny. oh my they sang and danced and got all crazy and then the preacher would yell and shout hallelujahs and raise their hands to the air and all kinds of stuff. he would always give us a look cuz we wouldnt do it. he said we dont worship quietly like some churches we give praise and all that. it was the most ridiculous thing i have seen. they were screaming during the prayer and they gave a blessing to a lady it was just nuts!!! anyhow thats all i can remember right now!!! i love you all!!!! love stetson
PS hey i havent got the easter package yet maybe tommorow i will get it!
ya crazy its already time to call home again. i got the skype email but i have no clue where the password is. i dont see it! im not sure what time i will call. i will call home first and get everything arranged or i will call and hang up and you can call back and then we can arrange it. k. ugh i  got 2 free t shirts this week.  the manager of del sol here is chad carter and they had some shirts that they couldnt sell so he gave us one and then we got one from an investigator who has a shop and her shirts are way expensive but she finally just said pick one out and you can have it. so im good on shirts now!
