This week elder Payne has been sick and so we have stayed inside most of the week, which is rough because i can't stand being inside for a long time but I have gained a new love for the scriptures. i am in ether already.  My mission is going by way fast it feels like i just left yesterday. i don't have to much to say because we were inside but i did bake and cook everything we could cook in our house the house we are living in is a three bedroom house and its quite nice there is no ac in the house but it cools down to a perfect temperature at night so its great. Any ways this week we had 6 people total at church because there was a cricket match going on and everyone was at it so it was really quiet oh well. i have talked in church every week and we switch off between Elder Payne and I on who teaches the lesson in Sunday school its a blast to be out here. I learned that i only get car sick if i am hungry lol so i just eat before and i'm totally fine!! :)  Love ya! Love Elder Hazlett

Elder Payne and i are doing fantastic! it is elder paynes birhtday today and yesterday we had a wonderful experience and privelage to have Elder Cornish of the quarm of the 70 here to give a devotional and family home evening i got to be interviewed by him! it was amazing he read my mind and knew exactually what to say he told me that if i am greatfull for everything i will feel the spirit more and when i feel the spirit i feel more gratitude! 

We are teaching a few people, one is vandick he is an amazing man he reads the scriptures and understands them so well and he is just starting to pray to ask if the book of mormon is true. he knows it is true he is just wanting a sign or something he keeps telling us that he feels great when reading and before and after reading he feels evilness surround him but when he is reading he feels the spirit and he cant put it down. hopefully this week when we teach him the apostacy and how to properly pray he will recieve the witness he is looking for!

 George town is quite a ways out of town so we stay the night in kingstown till tuesday its nuts how we are able to work things out here. i have not stopped working out logistics here like we did back home its just for a different purpose sorta both are life changing events for people this is just a long river trip with no river and a lot more work and walking involved! haha one thing with the sisters car they couldn't get there hood up everyone in the zone tried and couldn't. this was a few weeks ago and then yesterday i saw a dent in the hood so i went over and pulled the latch to unlock it from inside the car. Then i walked up to the front and everyone said it wont open and so, knowing me, i opened it in no time and they were all amazed and i was amazed at how simple it was to open lol but alas i didn't get the dent out its covered but i will get it out soon haha i still love cars! 

On the other hand i love this gospel more it has been such a great experience being back here it was hard at first and i wanted to come home, but haveing Elder Cornish and President Mehr here with me i got excited for the work again.  i love this gospel and i am thankfull for you all and for the great example all the guides and people in the branch are i love everyone of them and i miss you all dearly but the work bust go on!

Questions we wanted answered – What are the people like there?  Are they mostly friendly to you?  Do a lot of them feel the same way the man did about blacks not holding the priesthood for sometime?  What city are you actually in?  Is there a lot of crime, or does it feel pretty safe?  Is there public transportation there like buses and taxes or do you have to walk everywhere?

Hey you should see the signs and bill boards and the way people talk here then you wouln't bug me as much about my bad punctuation and spelling! I’m sending some pictures with this of the baptism it was an amazing experience!!! Everyone for the most part is really chill.   Most everyone will talk to us except for the people that are really scared of change, but we keep stopping by their house til they come talk haha.  There are only a few people that don’t understand as usual that they think that we are racist but we are not.  We tell them that.  I am in the town of Ratholmill.  I don’t really know how to spell it but that’s close.  It’s basically the country :) It’s open spaces with lots of hills.  There is almost no crime. People are so respectful.  There are busses not much bigger than the Sienna, but they hold 15 people with ease.  We mostly walk and sometimes get the car from the senior couple and the sisters! :) I teared up when I read about Matt and Kameka!! That is so awesome!!!!!!! I miss the temple. I love going there. I feel more at home in the temple than I do on the river! haha Lots of people are gettin hitched.  That’s fantastic! I told Randy and Puff they had to wait till I got back but oh well, they better be at mine! :)
