Week 45 - Back in Nassau

Hello everyone! I am finally back in Nassau now!

Monday was a Bahamas Zone Conference so we spent the day in Mandeville have a conference with the entire off-island zone which includes the Turks Sisters, Cayman Elders, Freeport Elders, and the Nassau Elders. Is was cool to have our own conference in person and not over a computer screen! It was fun!

Tuesday was our P-Day and I spent it with Elder Jensen. We sent off some packages which took us a lot longer than it should have! We also spent most of the day packing and playing card games with the other Elders. That night we were picked up by the Office Elders to be taken to Kingston for the night. We stayed with the Assistants in their really nice house! Hot water and a/c!

Wednesday morning we left for Nassau! We flew to Miami then to Nassau. When we got back we were picked up by former Elder Senior and Brother Whitney in Sister Seawell's car! It was a huge surprise to us! Oh, and while we were waiting for them 4 Roles Royce cars roll up to the airport picking up tourists to take them to their hotels. I have a picture with one! Anyways, we spent most of that night cleaning and reorganizing the house. Wednesday was also my little brother, Zane's, birthday! Too bad I wasn't there to harass him but oh well! He knows I love him!

Thursday was weird too. We spent the morning cleaning the house. And drove around Nassau taking Elder Craig to meet all the members that were at work. We stopped by Del Sol to see Brother Ferdinand and Marco, we went to see Brother Pierre at Curly's, then went to a frozen yogurt place with Sister Charlene and Melda. That place was sooo good!

Friday we spent at the house having weekly planning. Afterwards we spent most of the day calling people to set up appointments for the coming week. We stopped by Sandra to see how she was doing and Dacorya tells us that she has a ton of questions for us! So we tell her to write them all down and we would pick them up on Saturday.

Saturday morning we went shopping to get Calvin Seawell something for his birthday, had lunch then made a bunch of phone calls again before we had coordination at 4 at the Seawell's. Following Coordination we had dinner with the Seawell's and celebrated Calvin's birthday. The Seawell's are so nice! They gave us a ton of food to take home with us as well! We went to see Sandra again but we couldn't get a male to go with us so we just picked up the list of questions from Dacorya and went home to answer them for her.

Sunday was the best! All the members were so happy to see us back in Nassau! All of them missed us! After church we went to the Ferdinand's for Haitian food, tried to see Sandra again but her boys had to leave so we couldn't have the lesson. We did drop off some of the answers to her questions though so that was good. We went and talked with Brother Pierre about preparing for the temple! That was an awesome lesson! I am super excited to see him go through the temple! On our way home we stopped by Jackson and Maria. They thought that we had forgotten about them! We had an awesome lesson on Faith and Leaps of Faith and committed them to come to church and to hold a family prayer every night. They also gave us some strawberry cheesecake! Don't worry Grandma, hers wasn't as good as yours! Also, my Grandpa's birthday was this day! Turning the big 70! I love you Grandpa!!

Right now I am honestly too exhausted to type a huge spiritual message. But please, please, please continue in your personal prayers and studies! I know that Heavenly Father will bless you for those actions. I love you all! Hold to the Rod.✊🏼
