Week 68

Hey guys, this email might be a little boring because we did a lot of Office Elder work this week.

Monday we took a reverse P-Day so we had District Leader Training that morning then we had an appointment with Omar and Ashley. We just read the Introduction to the Book of Mormon through 1 Nephi 1 including all the testimonies.

Tuesday morning we had District Meeting and District Lunch. Then I had to go to the Bahamas Medical Center to get a Medical Report for Immigration stating that I am in good health and everything. That took most of the day so we then went to have dinner at the Seawell's house.

Wednesday morning I had to go get a Police Report stating that I am not owing the Government any money for tickets or anything. We thought that was gonna take all day but it took like 10 minutes. So we headed to the National Insurance Board building to state getting things done over there for me to renew my work permit here in The Bahamas. That is the one that took all day. I do not like sitting around waiting for stuff like this. After all that we went to go check up on Paedencia. We didn't have a male with us so we couldn't have a lesson. She isn't showing to much effort in making changes in her life though. We aren't too sure how long we will keep teaching her if she keeps this up.

Thursday morning Elder Markwalter and I were planning for the day and we both got the prompting to call the Seawell's to see if they needed any help moving. Brother Seawell got called into work that day so Sister Seawell invited us to go help her out. We spent the whole day boxing things up, hauling it in and out of rooms and to trucks, then unloading it and organizing it in their new house. Throughout the day Sister Seawell had to leave to go pick up her kids from school so she wasn't always there to direct the guys that were moving their stuff so she explained it all to us then she left. The stress level on the Seawell's that day was through the roof! We turned a three day move into one and a half days! At the end of the day they fed us a small dinner amid all the boxes of stuff in their new kitchen and dinning room. It was a great day!

Friday morning we ran back over to the NIB building to do more work there with my work permit. that took all morning. We then had lunch then went to Weekly Plan. We went to Wencie's house again for a FHE. We walked to Paedencia's house again to see if she wanted to go with us but she wasn't feeling to well. This time Trevor taught on Jealousy and how we shouldn't covet after things that other people have.

Saturday morning we went to play basketball again. Afterwards we went to the church to help Brother Blanc clean a few rooms. While we were there Brother Camillott came over with the Key Guy to make copies of keys. So we helped him get all the keys sorted out and how many we need of what key. After we were done with Camillott we called Sister Seawell to see if she wanted us to go clean the house they just moved out of for them. She said yes so we drove out to their new place, got the keys and the cleaning stuff, drove back to their old place and cleaned from about 2 to 6. That house looks (almost) brand new! We hauled a bunch of stuff back to the new house that the mover guys left behind and they again fed us a small dinner. I loved helping the Seawells! Brother Seawell has been on the clock almost all week, Sister Seawell has been stressed about moving into the house without his help and then not having enough space for all their stuff in the new house and just a whole heep of things! Heavenly Father answered their prayers through us and He also answered our prayers about helping them more because of all the things they do for us and for the JKM.

Sunday morning it poured! Flooded almost everything! The Yaris could barely make it anywhere! We had to clean the front door of the church because there is a leak in the roof and we couldn't park in our parking lot. Hardly anyone was at church. We had about 40 people there with 4 tourists. After church we had Branch Council then we went to Brother Smith's house for dinner with Sister Charlene, Sister Kemp, President Cherenfant, and Brother Saint-Natus. Afterwards we went to the Ferdinand's to grab food and take it to Sister Whitney then we went back to the church to print off some marriage stuff for Omar and Ashley. We took it over to them and had a short follow up with them. We tried to see the Sinea's but their road was flooded so we went home and studied for District Meeting this coming Tuesday.
