Another week in Kingston, Jamaica

-

Alright, you all may be tired of hearing it, but I went back to Jamaica this week! We are currently flying back to Nassau, though, and I'm ready to be back to see all of my Bahamian people! 

Elder Lewis and I flew in on Wednesday and were picked up by the Assistants to the Mission President, Elder Scoresby and Elder Nichols. We got to stay with them again for the week and I love these Elders! 

We had a lot of new missionaries coming into the mission, which is amazing! We got to help out with the APs to prepare orientations for these missionaries. We also had a missionary leadership meeting this week that was so uplifting. I'm ready to grow a lot in these next 6 months. So there were a lot of meetings this week, a lot of setting up and taking down, and a lot of provided meals, so I really can't complain about anything!

I also got a new companion to go with me back to Nassau and that's Elder Nichols who was just the AP. He is really excited to come out to the Bahamas and I'm excited to have him out here with me. It will just be us to on the island for a bit so it will be a lot of work but there's going to be so much joy along with it!

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...

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...
