Dear everyone!
Well just when you think that your area can't get any better, Cayman goes
and proves ya wrong and you end up having a week like we had!! Thursday we had Mission Leader
Council and it was really good!! We talked about a lot of awesome stuff that is
coming up, at least for everyone in Jamaica. The mission is organizing a huge
Christmas celebration, i don't
even know really , but they are expecting a combined amount of people,
missionaries, members, less actives, and investigators of almost 1,000 people to
attend this. It is going to be a huge production, meant for families to bring
their less active and non member friends to. it sounds really fun. We were sad
we were going to miss it so Sis Brown brought up the idea to broadcast it to all
the off island areas, so we get to watch it now, same idea out here is to get a
lot of people to come and watch it. Pres Brown also brought up the idea of
flash mobbing some malls in Kingston with missionaries singing hymns and handing
out flyers for it. Flash mobbing isn't in preach my gospel about ways to find
people but hey whatever gets the job done. I love having a young mission
president.
This week was Pirates Week here and man so many people come for this! We
went to the fireworks out over the ocean on Friday with some members, that was
really fun, they were really good. On Saturday I probably ate more food then I
ever have in my life. We went to a brunch party thing for a senior missionary
couple that used to serve here, some people in the branch did that for them.
Then we went to lunch at the R's house. That's always good on Saturdays. We
then went to the Pirates Week parade. Wow that was an experience. It was not a
24th of July parade in Beaver, and I will tell you I like the 24th parade
better. There was only 8 floats, but the parade took and hour and a half cuz
they would drive for ten seconds, park for 15 minutes. Every single float was
who could put the biggest speaker system on a semi trailer and put one or two
logos of your company on it somewhere, and just have a lot of people dressed up
as pirates. Anyways, we had a baptism on Saturday!! E. got baptized by her
dad. The baptism was in the ocean and it was beautiful!! There
was a rainbow directly out over the ocean the whole time!! E. loved that! I
loved having it at the ocean, it was so pretty and peaceful! We have another
baptism there this Saturday,
R. already passed his interview! Yay!
Have a good week. Love you all.
Love Elder Colton Harris
