Elder Brody Jensen

Don't worry, the guy did a pretty good job, better than every haircut that I've given myself, haha. This last week cruised by. We didn't find many new people this week but spent a lot of time with those we already have met and helped them to continue to progress. Two of our friends from Haiti don't know much English and that is a struggle we are having with them. I still can't believe that we are teaching people that don't understand us but the members of the church who know English and Haitian Creole are a lot of help. One of our friends, Walline, who didn't know much English before has actually been learning and understands a lot more than when she first started meeting with missionaries. So that is way cool to see and gives me hope that she will be able to learn a lot more easily from us.  It was another week of being fed a lot by members. Oh I love Nassau and food, haha. I may be getting out of practice with my cooking, though, so if I move areas or go...

We had transfers this last week so the week before transfers ended pretty well. We got fed a lot and had even more amazing lessons with our friends. After 6 weeks things are really picking up and I think after 3 months of being on a bike, my legs are getting used to it. The Bahamas has been way amazing! Even though it's becoming the rainy season and we get caught in the rain all of the time, it's been the best here. I will say a large part of how good things were isn't necessarily the circumstances only but the things I've been learning.  Now transfers were on Monday and we had a little switcheroo with the Elders in Freeport and I'm now companions with Elder Lewis, who was one of the other Elders here in Nassau for the last 6 weeks. That same day our phone was placed down a little too close to the ocean and an upcoming tide soaked it pretty bad. That left all four of us with 1 phone again for 3 days. We did the best we could! One of those days it was pretty crazy ...

We got to have p day on Tuesday and that was really nice because all of Monday, our regular day to prepare for the week, was spent in the airport coming back from Jamaica. On Tuesday we spent time golfing and I can say that I've probably now learned how to golf! Elder Provost showed me a few tips and after I drove my first ball straight out, I knew I was now hooked. Look out for me on a green when I get back or if you're in the Bahamas anytime soon haha! We are actually going to go to the driving range again this Monday.  Then the next few days we had some very great discussions with a few people we have only met recently. One guy named Nahum reached out to us and he is very interested in learning more. He is from Haiti and has been here for 2 weeks. He met missionaries in Haiti and learned English there from the missionaries. He knows most of what we shared already but just wants to be taught again and eventually be baptized. That was an amazing miracle! Then we finally met ...
