Many, many blessings!

Started off the week with Zone Conference! We had some great trainings and discussions from the Sisters, President, and the APs. Sadly, Elder Webb and I had to miss some of it to get food but from what we got to participate in, it was great! I got to conduct the conference as well, which was fun! 

So last week we met Miss B who said she would get our number to the landlord of the apartment we found. Well, we didn't get a call so we called her. She was with the owner that morning but lost our number! She felt so bad but was glad she could now give it to the landlord. Then on Thursday, we had our day planned with a lot of time talking with people in town but as we were leaving we get a call from the realtor and asked if we could meet him in town at the library in 15 minutes! Of course we said yes and met with him. He told us about the apartment, which is a 1 bed, 1 bath, very cozy. It also shares a front door with another separate unit. After giving us all of the details he tells us that he doesn't want us to rent that one! Haha!! He asked if we would rather be even closer in the town and tells us about this other property that is, very much, a better option! He made some calls and we went and checked the place out! Besides some repairs, it is great and is now in the process of being rented out for missionaries. We have no idea when we will move in or if it is for sure as yet but that was an exciting part of the week!

 

We also had a little scare with some of our missionaries.. Long story short, we couldn't get in touch with them, they weren't home, and it was curfew! Thankfully it was just a bad mix of no phone service, phone on silent, and they couldn't get a taxi home but made it home right after curfew.

Tuesday we had a mission leadership meeting and it went well, took a lot from it. We got pulled from our area early Monday morning to go to Kingston, to stay the night, and then have the meeting the next day... that was a little annoying but we managed and got fed. 😋  Ok, now imagine you're working hard in a new area, trying to get used to all of the newness and  different circumstances. You love playing ping pong in the mornings and also being with the new friends you are making and then you get news that you're going back?... Back? Back where?... Back to Maypen!.. Wait, what!? Yep, I am back in Maypen. That was my last area 2 weeks ago and I took Elder Wilson with me. There have been 4 sisters there and they are going to replace us in Mandeville. The weirdest thing is that this is only for 9 days, so by next Monday, most likely, we will be back in Mandeville. Dang it gets chaotic sometimes 😅. The last few days in Maypen have been filled with a lot of confused and excited l...

Another week in Mandeville

This week was pretty eventful! One evening we had a member who recently returned from a mission join us in our companionship study, which me and my companion have every evening, and we did teaching role plays with him. Haha, missionaries are pretty familiar with roleplays and usually are not fond of them. It was fun with him, though, and we learned a lot! That same member also brought a friend to church! We were pretty excited to teach her after church and, oh boy, did she have questions to ask and then her own answers to give to every one. I had begun to question a bit what  her purpose of asking those questions was, but we just listened and tried to really understand where she is at with her conversion and relationship with God. We are hopeful for her!🙏  Here is one of the many things I've learned this week as well. I need to be careful playing sports... I also had a pretty bummed ankle from being slide-tackled playing football ⚽️. Watch out though, I've been getting pretty...

Wet and cool Mandeville

Alright well it rains more here in Mandeville than in May Pen so that's been a treat this week! I think just about everyday it's dumped rain and I no longer have a truck to take shelter in. Honestly, it has been a lot of fun and reminds me of past areas and times on my mission.  The Branch here is way fun! We had Friday  night activities and we played football for a bit. I was already sore from walking and then football did me over on the tiredness. I definitely slept well that night. Fun story though was that I slipped in the mud hard but popped back up and got around a kid with the ball and now some of the branch kids call me superman or Messi Jr. I haven't told them I'm actually not good at football yet 🤫 We also have this active, recently returned missionary who went out teaching with us and that was way sweet. He took us to teach some of his friends and some members in the area. He shared a lot of tips and actually said that he came back to Jamaica 3 weeks ago bec...
