Well everyone, it is that time of year again, where it is the end of the year..
Skyping on Christmas was great! I can't believe that this was mission Skype 4
out of 4, I never thought that I would get to this point! Christmas week was
great and hot as well. So Christmas day we skyped, then had dinner with Elder
and Sister Vance. That meal was good, had ham and all the normal side dishes, it
has been a long time since I have had ham! Then we went and handed out some
Christmas cards to a few members and non members then went up to our branch
presidents house and had dinner with them. It was an effective Christmas.
Throughout the day we looked for opportunities to do service and stuff as well.
Christmas traditions are a little bit different than they are back home or in
Cayman. So
Christmas eve here
seems like the big celebration. In all the town centers they have HUGE parties,
they call it grand market. They line the streets with the massive speaker towers
that you've seen in pictures. There are lots of things that they can buy at
grand market so I think that the things they buy at grand market essentially are
the equivalent of
Christmas
presents I think. But everyone at grand market just seems to be drunk and
smoking weed and just chillin in front of loud music. They stay there all night
long, then on
Christmas day,
Jamaica is very quiet, more quiet than I have ever heard, Everyone sleeps for
most of
Christmas day since they
were up all night. They get up and they do eat a big
Christmas meal in the afternoon. Give or take a little bit,
that seems to be the
Christmas
traditions here for the majority of people. Not too much to talk about since we
Skyped this week. We have been having very good success with working with less
actives, that has been very productive recently. Working with investigators...
doesn't seem to be going as well as the less actives, but going forward none the
less. Have a happy New Year! Enjoy the time in California!
