Week 83

​Hey guys!

Monday I celebrated my birthday​ so after we played basketball we went to the market to buy food then to a store. Afterwards we went to Devon House to buy ice cream and lunch. Afterwards we emailed and I went to buy pants, shoes, and a tie.

Tuesday morning we took all of our studies then had lunch. Afterwards we tried to see a lady named Kina but she wasn't answering her phone and neither was Kamarla. We walked up to see Deltroy but he was busy doing chores for his grandmother so we weren't able to have a lesson with him. He is in a tough situation in that home... We tried to see Quadre and Omari but Quadre's dad doesn't like the Church so it was kinda hard to have a lesson with them.

Wednesday morning we had a meeting with our bishop and we talked about what he wants us to do in the ward. Afterwards we had District Meeting. That same day we found out that President Pearson will be going home on Sunday because of his health. After lunch we went to Sister Lewis's house but we weren't able to have a lesson because they were both in and out of the yard. We then had a lesson with Collaine about the Plan of Salvation. It was really good! That night we had a nice dinner with the other Elders. Elder Jensen made pancakes and crapes for us!

Thursday morning we were supposed to help some one with their Family History work but the internet was down and they never showed up so...

Friday was Weekly Planning. After studies we went to a Baptism in Downtown Kingston. It was a great service

Saturday we went to the Office to type of a letter to the Pearson's that they wanted from all the missionaries before they left. Afterwards we tried to have a lesson with Ginelle but she wasn't home. We then walked to Sammoy's house. When we showed up She was kinda scared because her husband doesn't like us coming over. So we set up a time to walk with them to church. I hope he softens his heart towards the church...

Sunday was President Pearson's last day. He flew out that afternoon. We also had Stake Conference that day. Elder Alonzo was there and Victor Nugent. I shook hands with Victor. He is the first Jamaican to join the church! Afterwards we went to the Macpherson's to have lunch. Then we went home to have studies.

We got to listen to Elder Alozo speak about his mission. It was cool to hear his mission story. I am truly grateful for my mission! I am glad I have been able to see and help so many people change!

I love you guys!

Week 82

Hey guys!

Sorry about last week. I forgot my planner and I didn't have too much time so I just uploaded pictures from our hike on Monday!

Monday we went on a hike and, like I said, I uploaded pictures. After the rest of the P-Day activities we had a great lesson with the Green Family. They were awesome!

Tuesday we were supposed to have a lesson with Racquel before we had service for the Copeland's but she wasn't home so we had lunch then went to the Copeland's. They wanted us to clean up their yard because Brother Copeland just had surgery and Sister Copeland is missing her leg so they can't do it. After all of that we went home, showered, then headed back out to see Quadre and Omari. We just taked about prophets and the Priesthood and how it is only in the Church and that every one who is baptized by anyone not holding that authority is not baptized properly! It was really cool to see it click in their minds!

Wednesday morning we had District Meeting. that evening we saw Sister Lewis and her daughter Andrika. We read 3 Nephi 11 with them and talked about all of the doctrine in that chapter. We were supposed to see Collaine after them but she wasn't home so we ended up teaching the Plan of Salvation to her sister, Ginelyne.

Thursday we were supposed to see Ginelyne again but she wasn't home. we had lunch then went to the Robinson's who fed us as well. On our way to another members house we passed by the Pearson's and they called us and offered to buy us Wendies for dinner! So nice of them! Then we went and got some soup to take home from the member!

Friday was Weekly Planning. After lunch we went on a trade off with the Zone leaders for a little bit and I got to go with Elder Anderton again to see a man named Marlon. He is really cool! He is trying so hard to follow Heavenly Father right now! We had an awesome lesson on the Book of Mormon because that was what he really wanted to know. Afterwards we went to Friday NightActivities.

Saturday morning after studies and everything we had a little mishap with the water in our washing machine so we spent that morning cleaning up water and moping the whole house and everything like that. After that we took lunch and comp studies then went to see Deltroy but he wasn't home. We headed back to the church for the Zone Leader's Baptism! It was awesome! That night after we got home I chef-ed up some soup! It was awesome!

Sunday was my birthday! 20 years old! We went to church then afterwards we went and gave the Sacrament to President Pearson in the hospital. We then went to the McPherson's for dinner. After we got back we took studies and then tried to see Andrika but she wasn't home.

I am truly grateful for everything that has happened in my life up till this point! I have learned so much from a ton of different people! I don't know what I would do with out my Heavenly Father and Savior though. I thank God Every day for everyone that has a role in my life.

Thank you every one who is reading this if you have had a role in my life!

Love you guys!
