More exchanges, more driving, more work 💪not a bad week!

-

Pretty much encompasses my entire week but that wouldn't be much fun to read so I'll full in the gaps. 

A lot of people have the flu or denge fever right now 🤧. A few of our members and friends have been sick since last week. Everyone else we have been going by every other day and for some people that's been really good! There are two families that's we've gone by a few times, the Williams, and the Samuels. The Williams we met on exchanges and they seem very interested. They live a little ways away in an area that probably hasn't seen missionaries in a LONG time! Then the Samuel's are probably the same thing but didn't seem too interested, at first, to learn about the Church, but as they graciously listened have gradually become more interested. I'm really grateful for these people I've gotten to meet. 

We had District P Day as well this week and it was good to see all of the 12 Elders we got together. A really solid group of guys all trying to do the Lord's work with each other. What a miracle that already is, and still we are seeing so much more! The mission is really amazing! 

It's also been downpouring like crazy this week. Well it's actually been for the last few weeks but I'm addressing it now. I was definitely this close 🤏 to drowning the truck when I drove on a road that was flooded not that bad and then came back from an appointment an hour later and didn't realize how much worse it was. Everything is alright but I've learned my lesson there! 

Hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather where you're at!

  Well, I did not know if I was going to write an email while in the MTC but there is a computer right next to the washer that my load of laundry is in so here I am waiting for it to finish. It has been such a cool transition to in-person! Finally got to meet my comp and everyone else in my district and can't believe it's only been 2 weeks that I have been with these friends. The Spirit is so strong here on this Campus! I know the things that I have and will learn here will guide me through my mission and the rest of my life. Leaning on the Lord and less on myself has been the hardest thing for me to apply to my life. More recently though, I have seen the difference it can make in my teaching and learning. There are hard days for sure when I can't stop thinking about everyone at home, but in my own farewell talk I talked about what we would be willing to give for the greatest possession. I will easily give 2 years of my life and many more to my Heavenly Father if it means I

It's been a crazy 2 weeks!

First, we started off with exchanges with the Elders in Freeport. I was with Elder Asay in Nassau so for the first time I didn't have to fly anywhere, phew! We worked really hard here and had a lot of conversations surrounding following the spirit. We had a point where we had open time in our schedule and we were out on the road. We didn't know where we should go or who we should visit but we had the idea to say a prayer right there. Sure enough something I was told when I first got here came to mind. We were told a while back that there was an in-active member that lived behind the church. So we decided to visit and meet them, however we went the "wrong" way over there. We were biking around to find the correct way but met Devardo who was working on his car. We both pulled over and talked with him and he had some things to say! Haha all good things but he has had some crazy experiences lately and we were definitely meant to meet him then and there! Then we ended up f

Freeport, Grand Bahamas

Well family and friends, I am in the Bahamas! It's been pretty crazy and I am excited to serve here.  First off we flew in on Wednesday and both of us are new: we had no food, and a less than clean apartment. So you know how that works. We spend a good amount of time shopping (which was an adventure in itself), cleaning, and getting to know the island. Freeport is "big" for an island in the Bahamas but there is very little going on here. It's very, very, very quiet but it's actually really nice. Finding new people has been a whole new ballgame because there's not many people on the streets. So we are back to door knocking! Now this is not the most fun thing to do, but when you don't know the members, don't know the area, and have very little (to no) people being taught ... you have to do something. I'm here in Freeport with Elder Samuels! He was my last AP, a past zone leader, and a good friend so we are so excited to be serving together! We both
