This week Elder Graham and I Had a goal to get 21 Potential Investigators. We got 22!! We don't always get to see the people we talk to because i think they feel bad if they say no i don't want to hear about this so when we go to their house they are never there haha but we met an man named Tahni this week. Tahni is such a smart Jamaican! never meet a man here that could read like him and remember as much as he can! Probably because he doesn't have a spliff in his mouth like everybody else! Tahni has about 1/4th of the book of mormon read. He has had the book for 4 days. He loves reading and he remembers everything and tells us what he has read. he will even call his wife who lives in Canada and teach her what we just teaching him! Really hope he will understand that even though he has been baptized that it didn't have the proper authority or that Priesthood. He is an amazing guy! Annie also came to church this sunday!! She said she is going to come every sunday! She loves the church. She had so many friends in the ward that she didn't even know were mormon! She really wants to be baptized but her boyfriend who has been living with her for 10 years doesn't want to get married... Jamaicans confuse me.
Elder Havali one of the Assistants to the President came to Spanish town and went teaching with Elder Graham and I. It was one of the best experiences so far on my Mission. He is an amazing teacher! I learned so much and he said he was really impressed with me. He said he has never seen a new Missionary just go up and talk to people. That night really took me to another level. Teaching people now we stop after a few sentences and check for understanding. It seems to be working so much better! I'm grateful to have that experience.
The food this week was... Interesting. I had Fried fish! The fish was cleaned out but after that they just deep fry it with the skin and head and tail. It was pretty good! I was surprised how good the head of the fish was! A little crunchy but good! I also had Brown Stew! It had rice and chicken liver! the liver was a little suprise! Tahni didn't tell us it was liver until after we finished all of it!! It was a little salty but it was full of iron he said!
I'm so grateful to be out here in Jamaica. Elder Graham and I talked to a guy on the street from Cali and he asked us how we liked it here. I said i loved it here and he said are you kidding me! It's so scary and crazy here! People die every day! I know my Heavenly Father is looking after me because i'm doing his work and i'm obeying the rules, keeping the commandments, and praying. Never forget to pray. I have become so close to my Father and have been prompted so many times. Inspiration is real and prayer is the way we ask for that! I love ya all! Keep up the work in the states!
Nuff Love!
