Oh transfers! It has been a good transfer in Montego Bay/Falmouth. I am going to have another one here in Falmouth and I am looking forward to it! Transfers are tomorrow and it's always an exciting time seeing new faces and saying see ya later to others.    We had exchanges this week in Montego Bay and I got to work there again with Elder Bush! I learned a lot from him and we both definitely learned to be prayerful in our work. It was the first day of the exchange and we went to Sam Sharpe Square, middle of town, and went about talking to people. After a little while Elder Bush thought we should pray to meet someone. We did and the result of the next hour was talking with 4 interested guys. Now that may not sound too miraculous, but finding men who are genuinely interested in the gospel is a very tough thing to do. I also had a homeless guy grab me from behind and in not very nice words, ask me to fill his cup with my blood... I told him no.    Another crazy thing th...

This week started off with MLC (Mission Leadership Council) which was so good and such a good start of a week! A small highlight of that is getting to see many old faces.    This week Elder Webb and I experimented with our cooking! First off we tried to make some brown stewed chicken. It ended up being more like black stewed chicken and we believe we did something wrong... I will have to let you all know how the next attempt is... whenever that is haha. Then last night we made chicken soup with dumplings, carrots, and cabbage. That was actually way good!    An amazing miracle this week was finding our new friend Anthony! We were planning on where to go today and we felt like traveling to this area called Duncans. We parked and walked through the neighborhoods talking to people and found our way on a path that looked like it was going to dead-end up a mountain. However neither Elder Webb and I felt like turning around and thank goodness we didn't because it quickly tu...

I had the amazing opportunity to go to Sav la Mar for exchanges. I was there for two days and the people and members there are great! The most fun part of it was that it reminded me a lot of my first area in Junction! The highlight was going with a member, Brother Stewart, to give a Priesthood blessing to a Sister Jolly. It was great to see a Priesthood brother so willing to fulfill his duty and bless those in his community. We had the chance to walk with him through his neighborhood and he showed us to many of his friends that we passed by.    The rest of the week we were in Falmouth and had a lot of things come up and take our time. With everything that came up, it definitely made me appreciate the work. One great lesson we had was with a member and her boyfriend. She called us around 5 and asked if we could go over to visit him and her. We shared the message of the Restoration, talking about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. Her boyfriend, Nashawn, loved hearing abo...
