Week 63

Hey Guys!

Monday we didn't do too much just ate pizza that a member bought us and shared it with Brother Camillot. We were supposed to have a District Leader Training with Elder Houston over Google Hangouts but he never had time to make it so that didn't happen.

Tuesday morning was District Meeting then we had lunch afterwards. We then went out to Joshua Dean's house to take him teaching with us. He is an RM from the JKM and we are teaching on of his former investigators, Samantha, from Jamaica! We then took him to the Seawell's for dinner. It was so cool to talk with him about his mission and to see how he taught while on his mission. Obviously he doesn't have the same authority like he used to but he still spoke very powerfully and lovingly to Samantha.

Wednesday morning we took studies early so we could go to the Whitney's for lunch. So funny story; here in the Bahamas the made new paper money that can not rip and is water proof. The Whitney's had a NEWER $10 bill but it wasn't the NEWEST one. BUT the ends of the bill were made with the NEWEST material. So, I was showing them that it couldn't rip and then I decided to turn it sideways... Ripped it right in half... Right in front of the Whitney's... My heart went straight to my feet! They just looked at me like, "What? We can fix it with tape!" They didn't even flinch about the fact that I ripped their $10 bill right in half! Anyways, the rest of our day fell through until about 7 when we went to Sister Scott's for a FHE. One of her friends from Idaho called her and she left me answer it. Her friend then decided to call my mother right afterwards to let her know that I had just talked to her haha. Anyways, we had the FHE and then she fed us so that was fun!

Thursday we did Immigration stuff and other office elder stuff. Went to go see Kevin but he wasn't home, took studies, tried to help Island with chores but she wouldn't let us, and then went to see Noelda. Not a whole lot happened that day.

Friday morning we had DLT with Elder Houston, tried climbing coconut trees, went and had lunch, had Weekly Planning, Discovered a new Trinity that we will be teaching in the upcoming District meeting and I will explain it next week to you! Afterwards we went and had a FHE with the Smith's and we even baked a cake for them. #besteldersever

Saturday morning we called a bunch of people to set up appointments for the coming week, had studies, lunch, then we tried to help Island with chores again but Camillot already beat us to it. He is now living in the same house as them. Went to pick up Joshua again but he wasn't home, tried to see Samantha but she was busy, picked up Latario to go see some people and then went home. Boring day, yeah I know. Not every day on the mission is eventful and fun.

Sunday morning was church then afterwards, of course, was the Ferdinand's for lunch. A lot of visitors from Idaho where at church this last week too! Tried to see Omar and Ashley but they were out, stopped by Island to check up on them and they decided to feed us as well abd Camillot made us a smoothie. We then went to take Kevin to see Wencie and her family. We read a Book of Mormon story with them and then played Black Magic with them. We blew their minds haha. Then we dropped off Kevin and went to see the Sinea's. Some of them are sick so Mark, Elder Markwalter, and I gave them blessings then went home.

This week I was given the opportunity to exercise the Priesthood with blessings. I gave four people blessings and I love the feeling every time I give one. I was able to be the Lord's mouth piece for that person to receive the blessing. I am very grateful for the Priesthood in which I am very humble to use. I pray that you all use the Priesthood for what it is given to us for. Blessings.

I love you all!
