Powerful exchanges

-

This week was really exciting with the exchanges we had with other missionaries in areas nearby. First we went to Junction which was my very first area in Jamaica, that was over a year ago! We drove the hour and a half drive there, I dropped off Elder Blackwood with Elder Griffith and I took Elder Jacobs back to May Pen. We set some great goals for the next day and saw some awesome miracles as we tried to bring the spirit to everyone we met. There was this one street that we were going to walk and take a loop around back to the truck but we got stopped so much that we barely made it down the street when we had to turn back. Later in the week Elder Blackwood and I went back to the same area and met more people there. 

Then we had exchanges with the other Elders in May Pen and I got to take Elder Fitisemanu with me and that was so good! All of these Elders just want to be the best they can and we all are learning step by step. We set some goals to try and teach families together with those we would meet and to strive to follow the Spirit in what we would say. We met with our friends Crystal and Henry and Brother Chambers was able to join. We talked about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all I can say it that it was powerful. Everyone there felt the spirit and I wish every lesson we had could be like that. Maybe it could be...

Anyways we've been working hard and seeing a lot of miracles from it. It's been cool and I'm super grateful to serve! Love you all.

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...
