(Nov. 23, 2015 letter)
Dear Family and Friends -
This week was a wonderful week! We started off strong. We had an Emergency Zone Conference. President Brown was having this to get us to be more obedient. One of the things we weren't fallowing as a mission was having a male at every lesson when teaching a female. Its to protect us and the investigator. I'm glad we are fallowing that rule! We have received so many blessings from obeying that this week! We found a majority of males this week! We need Males in Jamaica so hopefully they all turn out good! President also challenged everybody to baptize before December 25 to give our Heavenly Father one of the Greatest Gifts! We will do it because God doesn't give a commandment that we can't accomplish.
We dropped Annie this week. She has been drunk and high for the past 3 lessons so she isn't ready saddly but there is someone else ready out there! She has invited us to her parties! She said we could come before 6 when there won't be any acholical and weed! So kind of her but we passed it up.
Had my first meal at a table on Sunday! We had Rice and peas and baked chicken with plantin. It was supper good! Her name is Lisa. She is a recent convert and is such a good cook!! It was nice to sit at a table as well haha!
I went on a trade off with Elder Pulsipher on Saturday. We did finding all day. Every lesson fell through. It was hard but we found 2 families and 7 men. The lord is blessing us that s for sure! During the trade off we found some drunk guys at the bar and were teaching them how to tie a tie! it was funny! they gave us a D&G soda! The soda here is more sugary! they use real cane sugar! it burns!!
We had a turkey bowl this morning! It was fun! Wishing i could have a thanksgiving here! Gonna miss being stuffed!!
I'm so Happy to be out here on a mission in Jamaica! Hope all is well!
nuff love
