Hello everyone!
i am finally in Jamaica. My area is Negril. It is way different than anything I had expected. People speak very differently here. They call it Patwa. I can't understand 80 percent of the people. The people just live in little shacks. There were these little kids we met the other day that were playing with broken bikes. They had more fun with the broken bikes than kids back home do with non broken bikes. The water in crystal clear. The ward was super small. There were 15 people there including the mission pres and 2 visitors and 4 elders. It was very different. We don't have hot water just cold. Cold showers, yay! I am doing pretty good just feeling a little home sick. There are goats and wild dogs everywhere. I love you guys!
Bye,
Elder Davis
