week 10 in Jamaica

Hey Guys! This week has has been a Blast! First we started off the week with farming! And guess what they were planting.... Potatoes.... hahaha Funny huh? Anyways, we did that on Tuesday and I forgot my camera so Elder Christensen has the pictures for that one! My mother with have to get them from his mother! Okay so we had trade offs with the other elders in junction and it was a blast as well! Elder Callister and I went down in to my area and we had an awesome lesson with a man named Troy! He is going to try and be Baptized on Feb. 18th! So hopefully he will be ready by then! Then through out the week we would stop by and have more lessons with him! He is awesome! Then we had a conference with an Elder from the area 70 over the Caribbean! He is awesome! I learned so much from him! He really wanted all of the members in this area to work together and effectively! We will definitely see how that goes! But that was a big boost to our confidence! I saw Elder Harris that night too! It was awesome to see him there in Maypen! It took us two hours to get to the meeting! Then 2 cramped taxi rides back home that night!

Alright so this morning, because I'm getting fat...Elder Christensen and I went for a nice little run! It started to sprinkle on us but it felt so nice! I am out of shape let me tell ya... But I haven't been eating dinner for the last week so I can start to cut back on fat haha. But don't worry I'm doing fine eating wise.  Jamaicans don't starve out here haha!

One sad moment we had this week was from an investigator that we had such a strong lesson with. He told us after that lesson that he could feel the authority that we have and that he could feel the spirit so strong in the lesson. So we tried staying in touch with him but couldn't. Until yesterday when we caught him at home. He walked outside with the Book of Mormon in his hand, walked up to us , handed us the Book and said that he wasn't interested, turned around and walked away before we could even reply to him. Left my heart on pause for like 10 minutes... It hurt to see him turn his back on the Lord and His Gospel... But that is his choice.

I still love this work even though I know people are going to deny and reject it. 

Hope you all have been reading the Book of Mormon! 

 

Love,
