Hey guys!
So on Monday Elder Greenwade and I went to do a lot of site seeing last week so we went to Bahamar, DelSol, and took Rayshawn to get blizzards! Afterwards we had a lesson with Sister Smith and gave all of them(5) blessing for school and work. It was cool to do those things for them because I remember having my dad do the same thing for us growing up!
Tuesday morning we went to breakfast with Brother Pierre and had pancakes, eggs, fruit and juice! It was the first time I have had pancakes since leaving home!#pancakesforlife After that we took our studies then to see Kenton who is awesome! We taught him the Plan of Salvation. We were supposed to see Danny but he rescheduled for Saturday. So we had a few hours to go finding. That night we had Paulette. We haven't been able to see here in forever. We met her husband and taught her the Apostasy and told her that she was gonna get her answer when she is reading on her own and not while we are there. That came back to bite us in the butt. We got a message from her saying that she wants to stop meeting with us for a while so she can read and pray and stuff without us. If she really does that she will get her answer but she has a lot of other doctrinal influence from her husband. Long story short, I'm a little nervous.
Wednesday morning was district meeting like always. A lot of our appointments fell through on that day as well so we had a lot of time to go finding. We went to Brother Williams house at 6 and he fed us some NIIIICCCEE baked chicken! We asked him to do a special fast with us for this fast Sunday so I called him on Saturday to remind him! I'm super excited for him to be active again in the branch. We also saw Noelda that night as well. We took Brother Watson with us to translate for us and they got a long very well!
Thursday morning we had service for Sister Meadows and Rayshawn. We spent the whole morning over there cleaning up their yard. They fed us breakfast and lunch! That day also fell through so we did quite a bit of contacting until we went to Sister Youte's house for dinner. We also saw Brother Jun. He is Chinese! Then right before we went home we stopped by Brother Thomas who just moved back from one of the other islands. He was a maninite growing up.
Friday we had Danny at the church and had an awesome lesson with him. He had a lot of questions about the Apostasy and stuff related to that and we were able to answer them all. He understood everything and is a very humble young man! We took lunch right after him so Greenwade could pack and do laundry and things like that. So we spent most of the day doing that. We drove to Bay Street to drop off a Book of Mormon to a referral then went to see a young man named Jay who is Jamaican. He was born in Kingston. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and helped him understand the importance of the decisions that me make in this life. That night we went to eat with Sister Charlene and Kizzy. We had a really nice dinner with them and dessert. They are awesome! Both of them hilarious. We tried to stop by Jackson and Maria but they weren't home and we couldn't wait for them because we had to get home.
Saturday we took Elder Greenwade to the airport and said good bye to him. We also got transfer calls! I will be receiving Elder Craig from Jamaica. He will arrive here in Nassau on Tuesday! Anyways, Saturday we spent most of the day at the house having our weekly planning. It was weird to plan the week out by myself but it was nice! We went and saw one of Christensen's and Call's investigators then we went to see Maria. We had some pretty good lessons with them even though we didn't plan on seeing them!
Sunday here was only 86 people at church... 6 of those were tourists. We had two investigators at church; Paulette and Demitri. I had to also teach Gospel Principles by myself because I didn't have a companion at the time! After church we went to the Cherenfant's for lunch, went to see Brother Pierre, then back to Cherenfant's to go to a church brother's house to look at his yard for service this week. After them we went to Sister Youte's house for dinner! We didn't eat it there though. We took it home and just had a lesson with her and her husband. We started a plan with them to have family prayer every day. I hope and pray that they do it!
It is very easy to not do the simple things that Heavenly Father has asked of us. It is very easy to do them as well. That being said, please please please stay strong in doing the simple things! They may be small but by small and simple means are great things brought to pass! Please read your scriptures. Please pray daily. Please go to church. I know that if you do these things, your relationship with God and others around you! He wants to hear from you! He wants to help you! He loves you! I love you all as well! Stay strong!
Not even scared about Hurricane Irma coming our way!💪🏼🌪⛈
