Monday was a lot of sitting around waiting in line for things... We
started off the day by going to customs and getting packages, went to
PICA to get work permits for incoming missionaries which took us 2 1/2
hours to do! Went to the office to have lunch, went and sat in line at
JPS to pay a lot of bills which took an hour, dropped off some
missionaries at doctors offices, did office work and then went to
Yallahs to drop off big jugs of water for the elders there. It was a
long day of just sitting around...
Tuesday morning was the Spanish Town Zone Conference so Elder Ludlow
and I had to go inspect all the vehicles in that zone. We spent about
two hours there then went to get some thinks from the tax office, went
and took care of some bills for Elder Kirby who is the Financial
secretary for the mission, had lunch went and ran more errands, then
sat in the office for the remainder of the night doing paper work!
Yaaaaayyyy for paper work!... nooooope.
Wednesday we went to do more work permit stuff, bought some lights for
cars, went to pay bills, did office work like enter in vehicle
inspections that we did at the Spanish Town Zone conference and took
our truck to get cleaner because it had Junction Red Dirt all over it
for weeks now haha. While we were waiting for the truck to be cleaner
we went into the building and they had Remember the Titans playing on
the TV!! We watched the last 30 minutes of the movie then they changed
it to The Longest Yard! Booya! I love Football!! Then after that they
switched it to Gladiator! When the truck was done we took some lights
to the Portmore sisters to put in their car at the Mission Home then
we went to Wendy's with the Yallahs Elders. They didn't have any
frostys though which broke Elder Ludlow and I's hearts...
Thursday was the Kingston Zone Conference so we had to inspect all the
vehicles in that zone as well. We had Dominoes for lunch! Yaaaassss!
Anyways, we had to leave early to get pick up passports at the PICA
which ,again, took way longer than it should have. We took the Porti
Elders truck to get it fixed then spent the rest of the evening
looking for people to teach! We were supposed to see our investigator
Germaine but he is a policeman so he gets home at like 7 every night
or even later. Oh well. He is still interested in listening to us and
everything he just hasn't had time to do it.
Friday We took some missionaries to the dentist, went to Spanish town
to pick up the Zone Leaders truck to get the nail out of their tire
and to also pick up missionaries to take to the doctors office. While
waiting for the missionaries to finish in the Doctors office, Ludlow
and I ran to the airport to drop off some paper work at customs to
make it easier for us to pick up packages. After that was done we took
the Spanish Town ZLs truck back to them and took the other elders home
after they ate lunch with us. On our way home we paid the Toll Road so
we wouldn't run out of money on the cards to use the Toll Road. Went
back to the office to do more paper work then went home. It was a very
long day that day!
Today is Nioka's Baptism! She was Elder Harris and I's investigator in
Spanish Town! So as soon as our hour of emailing is up we are headed
to Spanish Town to go watch her! I'm so excited to see this happen!
She is my first investigator to be baptized! She is an awesome young
lady that is finally entering the waters of baptism and taking upon
her the name of Christ!
All the hard work is paying off and I am helping people work out their
salvation with Our Father in Heaven. What a better calling than to be
one of the Lord's Representative?!
Hope every one is having a great summer so far! Don't forget to go to
all the Church activities that you can this summer too! I don't know
what your ward or stake has planned but I know that it all to help you
grow Spiritually and Physically! Please don't take those things for
granted. The leaders are trying to do their best to help you do your
best in your life to come! They are there for us when ever we need
help. I can promise you all that they want to help too.
Love you All! Have a great week! Hope these emails are helping who
ever needs help.
