Week 10 - Spanish Town

This week was a pretty solid week! We got a new investigator who was taking lessons in Nagril and moved down to Spanish Town. She moved in with her boyfriend though after getting the law of chastity lesson. Kind of funny but we hope she will soon get married. Men here in Jamaica don't want to get married sadly. But Yaneek's boyfriend really wants to get married! And he also wants to raise a family in the gospel! Her boyfriend Dwane is a pretty cool guy. He lived in England for 15 years and he said that’s were he really found out how important family is. Family is so important to gods plan for us.

I got to go on a tradeoff this week with Elder Koegler. He is a great Missionary! I learned a lot from him. He is pretty funny in lessons and it makes the investigators be themselves when we are all laughing. He is going home at the end of the transfer though. 

Street contacting this week had some pretty funny experiences. I went up to a man and we talked for a little bit and i asked him for his number so we can call him. He was about 25 years old and he told me that him mom said he can't give out his number to anybody. So we left and Elder Graham and I just busted up laughing. But another guy we talked to was the brother of someone Elder Graham was teaching before i got here. Hopefully he will come to church. He plays the piano! not many Jamaicans know how to do that! 

I finished the book of Mormon on Saturday! I started on the 24 of September and finished the 14 of November. Never thought i could read that book so fast. I learned so much from it though. Now I’m reading it again. I got a new copy and am just focusing on Faith. One of the challenges President Brown has given us is to read 6 pages of the book of Mormon every day. If we do that we will finish the book of Mormon in 100 days. 

On Sunday we get to church an hour and a half early. So i just start reading the book or Mormon or other church books. The 2nd counselor came up to me and said man you are always preparing a talk. I was joking back with him and said Yeah Just let me know when you want me to speak! I don't think he knew i was joking around because he told all the missionaries to write a talk on the importance of families. All the missionaries just shook their heads at me haha but I laughed and am excited to talk to the importance of Families! We got several families here on earth! Our family we are born into and our ward family! Families are important! 

Hope everything is good back into the states!

Nuff Love
