Tuesday we had Zone Conference with the North Coast Zone is Jamaica so we had to skype in for that. Not gonna lie I would much rather be there in person that to try and fight stupid wifi all the time🙄 For lunch we went to Dairy Queen and showed off our Blizzards to every one in Jamaica because they don't have a DQ over there😏 After Zone Conference we went to see Sandra and her son Tyrell to teach them about the Plan of Salvation. Tyrell loved the fact that there is more than just Heaven and Hell. It's a lot better than that. Later we went to the Scott's house for dinner. They made pork chops!😩 Man I love food!❤️ Tuesday night rained like crazy! There were lightning strikes and thunder all night long too! At about like 4 in the morning there was a HUGE lightening strike that was so bright it woke me up! Then the Thunder after that was so loud! We thought the house was gonna crumble!
Wednesday morning we didn't go play basketball because it was off and on raining. We didn't feel like getting wet so we did workouts in the house. Except for Elder Greenwade... he went out side to do sprints on the street in front of our house. He was soaked! On our way to see this kid that we contacted about 5 days ago that's apparently, a good baseball player, we ran into some complications. The street that he lived on was flooded! And we drive a little Toyota Yaris so we weren't about to drive through it and flood our car! So, we rolled up our pants, took our socks and shoes off, and started walking. I have pictures of it so don't worry mother😁 Anyways, we get to his house and we taught him part of the Restoration but we tried keeping it simple for him. After lunch we went contacting for two hours.😳 Most of our appointments fell through so we just went contacting. We saw this family that lives by the church. Jackson and his family. Man they were so excited to see us again. Jackson didn't go to work that evening because he knew that we were coming over! We shared more information about the Book of Mormon and who wrote and so forth. They are really looking for the truth.
Thursday we had a lesson with a young man named Warren who seemed pretty interested in the Church because he said that after had first met him, he had looked up the Church online and read about Joseph Smith a little bit. So he was pretty interested in the church. After lunch we went to see an awesome member who is only about 16 years old and she is doing great in her own member missionary work. She has been sharing info about the church with her friends and inviting them to come for a while now. Later that evening we saw a lady named Paulette. She also did a little research on the Church after we had first met her and asked a few questions about polygamy. She has had a bad experience with the pastor of her former church so she does call that her church any more. But we had a really good Restoration lesson with her. She was actually fasting that was she could learn to feel the promptings from the Spirit easier so it was really cool on the time that we found her. Anyways, she committed to come to church and she did! She came and loved it!!
Friday we had weekly planning and then had our whole day fall through!.. We spent the whole day driving around and contacting because all of our lessons cancelled on us. It was a very long day...
Saturday the same thing happened. A lot of contacting because we had people fall through.
Sunday was awesome. It was fast and testimony meeting and I got up and bore my testimony on making preparations to fight against the Adversary. I got a lot of comments on my testimony afterwards and I am grateful that it touched so many people. Paulette came to church and so did Devonee. They both loved it! After church we went to an investigators house, Sandra's, to have lunch. And she fed us BBQ Ribs!! Oh man was it good!! Not as good as my dad's ribs but they were really good!! Then after her we went to the Ferdinand's to eat with them too. They always cook for the missionaries so we couldn't leave them hanging. We had rice and chicken and cake. Man was I stuffed to the point my stomach hurt! So much good food here in Nassau! After we ate we went to see Maria, Jackson's Wife. We talked about her kind of growing up in the Church and how that if we keep the commandments the Lord will prosper us in the land. That is the most quoted scripture in the Book of Mormon. We went to see Brother Piere again and man I love talking to that guy! No matter what subject came up we were always able to connect it to the Gospel some how. Brother Piere is definitely some one I want my family to meet! He is a tour guide too so when I bring my family over he is the one I'm going too! He so awesome! Very Christ like and very happy! I love Brother Piere! Later we went back to Sandra's house to talk about the Plan of Salvation. She kind of already knew most of it so it was very simple to teach it to her. We invited her to be baptized in 3 weeks and she excepted! She is just an awesome mother! Has 5 kids living with her, 2 of them are old enough to be out on their own and 3 of them under the age of 18. She is very humble.
I probably gained 6 pounds that day too because the food was so good!🙌🏼
Anyways, I just want you all to know that no matter what we may be facing in life, there are ways prepared for us to over come them. The Lord is very merciful to his children. He knows what we are all going through. He has been in our shoes. He knows all the struggles that we face and he knows how to over come them. No matter how big or how small. He has seen and felt it all. I am very grateful for the Lord and for every thing that he has done to show us the way back to Him and Our Father.
I love you all and I wish you all a Happy 4th of July!!🇺🇸 God Bless the U.S.A.!! #Merica 🎉🎆🎇🗽
