Dear Friends and Family -
Read a great
story this morning in Personal study. one of the best things i got from it was:
"If you want to punch Satan in
the mouth.......Open your mouth and Preach"
Wow is that ever
so true. Satan is the one that wants us to be scared to share this gospel. I've
learned here the importance of members and without them this work is so hard to
do. During this Christmas season we should all open our mouths and give Satan
the old one two. Share why Jesus is so important to you and how you can come closer
to him is by learning more!
I got a new
Companion this week! His name is Elder Bischoff! He is from Idaho and lived on
a dairy farm! He has got some sweet stories! He is a hard worker! We work great
together. Our lessons get more powerful every time we have one! Love that
Elder!
During a lesson
with a woman named Polleen, We were talking to her about the book of Mormon. It
was the first lesson. After we talked a little she said before i came today I
prayed if I should believe in these things. And then she started crying a
little. We asked her what she was feeling and she didn't answer. A member at
the lesson who was baptized 3 months ago finally said she is anointed. I was
confused but I soon understood what she meant. Palleen got up and started
shouting JESUS! and other things. They call that getting in the spirit. She was
walking around the room just shouting and then a man who was drunk as could be
who was sitting in the lesson with us started doing the same thing but he was
waving his arms and stamping his feet. Well let me tell ya... That was..
Interesting. We didn't know what to do. Having the spirit includes temperance
or self-control. There was no self-control there. It was a cool experience i
will never forget.
We had a little
district Christmas party! We saw some Christmas lights. The lights are on 1 out
of every 200 houses it seems like. We love Christmas but Jamaicans don't like
it that much. We try to bring up in street contacting but it never works. There
was a baptism this week too! Ramone and Janell who got married last Saturday.
It was so special! They are excited to be members now! They want to go teaching
with us now too! They are awesome! They don't take this gospel for granite.
Christmas day
will be fun! Everybody have a joyous Christmas!!
