Duncan Donuts ...?

-

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 turned back to the main road. Right as we got there a taxi man pulled into his house and we went up to talk with him. Anthony was very interested when we talked with him about the Book of Mormon. We gave him a copy and invited him to read and take the challenge that Moroni gives us all at the end of the Book of Mormon! 

 

Moroni 10:4

"4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

 

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."

 

God answers prayers. It is hard, at times, for me to see it for myself but I trust that God knows what's best and that He will give the answers I need. The same goes for each of you! God loves you all and I do too!

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...
