Okay so this week has been crazy! So to start it off i just want to say
that the taxis here are crazy! They pack four ADULTS in the back seat of
older Honda civics and travel at crazy speeds! Holy Cow its crazy!
Every time i get in one all i can do is laugh because how ridiculous it
is! Okay so keep that in mind for this next part. My companion and i had
to go to Kingston twice
within three days
of each other just so we could sign some tax papers for me to go to the
Bahamas for missionary work. Not a guarantee that i will be going over
there but the paper work is done so i could go. Anyways, We met with the
office elders who would pick us up in Mandeville where me and my
companion had to taxi to from Junction. It is an Hour ride from junction
to Mandeville in a packed Taxi! Then another two hour drive from
Mandeville to Kingston with the office elders in their pick up truck. It
was sooo hot in Kingston! Junction and Mandeville are the coolest
places in Jamaica. So we don't have enough members for a ward in junction
so we have a branch. We had our Branch Christmas party this last Saturday and man was it awesome! The food was sooo good!! The Jamaicans
know how to cook some good chicken! Sorry Dad almost as good as yours
haha! I recorded some videos to send to you guys so hpefully they load
so i can send them! We have four baptisms planned but i dont know if
they will all be ready by the time their dates roll around... Oh well
God works at his own time! While in Kingston i got to see Elder Morris
who was with me in the MTC! And the other for missionaries who had to
visa wait will be here next transfer which is about Three weeks! I can
not wait for them to get here! They are currently in snow so when they
get here it will be a huge change for them! I heard a song with Elder
Holland talking about missionary work and the Atonement in the
background an man did it hit me in the feelings! I just love Elder
Holland's talks and how he uses his authority to share the gospel! I
love how he gets emotional over it all and it made me realize that i was
starting to become like him. I am a very emotional person for all of
you that know me. But I have started to share the gospel with authority
like him and i love the affects of it! I want to become like Elder
Holland! Anyways here are some pictures! I love all of you guys!
Peace out from Jamaica
