So thank you for the
pictures this week, I am sorry once again but my sd card doesn't work and I
don't have my cord for my camera with me. I am just going to go buy a new
sd card and send this one home soon. So this week has been really good.
Monday was PDay so we splurged and went to Domino's
Pizza, it was amazing! Monday I got a call from the office Elder saying that
they were coming to pick me up on Tuesday morning and that I was
going to be in Kingston for the whole day. You don't know what that means
when the office elders call us to go into Kingston for the day but I do and
I'll let you know why in a couple weeks or maybe months what it means but I
went and stood in lines in government buildings and police stations to sign
papers and stuff all day long. It was a long, long day but it was good.
Don't worry I didn't have to go do that because of anything bad,
everything is perfect like I said I'll let ya know later :) So we were also
with Elder and Sister Mortensen and they took us to Chilitoes, which is this
Jamexican restaurant. It was so good, I got the jerk chicken mega burrito with
nachos and it was so good!! It was good to eat something different, and they
paid for it so that made it even better. So that was my Tuesday, Elder Mathewson took the zone leaders train with him in our area
that day. Wednesday was a pretty good day, we had so many
appointments fall through. We had Pres. B., our branch president
come with us to visit some less actives, that part was really productive. Then
we ended that day with our Elders Quorum president coming to visit another less
active with us, he walked about 3 maybe 4 miles to get to this lesson
#dedicated! The lesson was good but the guy we met with, Bro G. is just
really stubborn. We also ate at this Chinese restaurant that day but it
definitely was not Panda!!! Thursday we had Zone Conference,
it was our first zone conference with Pres Brown and it was AMAZING!! I love
that guy. He is just the most lovable, knowledgeable, caring, stern,
everything guy. It was a sweet zone conference. He talked about the
plans to make the stake here in Jamaica, specifically Spanish Town. He
told us all the numbers needed and what we will focus on in order to accomplish
this. He told us about a call from Elder Anderson from the 12 that he
received and Elder Anderson said we are applying for the stake in January and
it will probably be organized in March. He told us all of this and then
tied it in really good saying do you see what I am seeing, about how we don't
have to be disobedient, or to not go 100%. He said it million times better then
I ever could but all I could think was crap I only have 19 months left and
there is just way too much work that needs to be done. I'm not going to
be able to leave Pres. Brown in 19 months because there is just too much work
to do! Had Pizza Hut on this day too. I tell you about the food I had
this week only cuz I ate really good at the beginning of the week, and that
doesn't happen very often so I thought I would share it:) Friday we had super planning, then went out teaching. We started
teaching Sister Mc.,. She is the mom of some recent convert
teenagers and it is so cool that we are able to teach her. She has
listened in on a lot of lessons and already knows everything is true. It
will be so cool to bring her into the gospel, and will be a great blessing for
that family. She then fed us pig tail and stew peas so that was a bonus
too. Saturday S. got baptized!!!!! :) It was so cool.
His GF was bringing him but then her car ran out of gas and we were in a
hurry to get the baptism started because of Pres. Brown's flight to Turks, So
Pres. Brown went and picked him up and brought him. It was a really
spiritual baptism and S. bore an amazing testimony!! It has been so cool to
watch him grow and learn! I now know why Pres. Brown put every resource he had
in helping S. in any way, cuz the only thing stopping a stake is worthy
Melchizedek priesthood, and S. will help that so much. After the
baptism there was a funeral going on and they had the missionaries wheel the
casket into the chapel, only in Jamaica, yeah I had to close the lid too. Good
thing there were 17 full time missionaries at the baptism (Including Pres. and
Sis. Brown) since they had no pall bearers or something like that. I then got
my toe operated on after the baptism. I had an ingrown toenail removed just
like I had removed up north a couple years ago. He cut half of it off.
Now just letting it heal. Had chicken foot soup Saturday night too. It was pretty bad. It honestly felt like I
was eating cooked baby fingers. That is the best way I could
describe it. Church was good on Sunday too. So I know
you wanted me to tell ya how my days are, IDK if that is what you had in mind
but this week has been chaotic. Well I love ya!! Have a good week!
Chicken Foot Soup...Yum!
