Week 20

Jan. 25, 2016

Dear Family and Friends -

This week was a weird week! It rained like crazy on Saturday!! We had a full day of lessons but they all fell through than in the evening the rain came! We went into the neighborhood Leiba Gardins and it started pouring. Elder Bischoff and I didn't know what to do so we said a prayer. We were walking down a street and we went under a tree to get out of the rain for a minute and a man from a upstairs house called down to us and told us to come into his house. We willingly went and we started talking to him and learned a lot about him. We than pulled out a restoration track and asked him if he believed in Christ. He said I don't believe in him i know him! It was great! He is a 7th day Adventist and he believes in a lot of the same things we do! He is a great guy! He said we can come back Wednesday. That day got so much better after that even though it was raining like crazy. We were walking in the rain and a car stopped and a family was inside and they told us to get in and they drove us to our house. Tender mercy right there. The people here in Jamaica are so kind you just got to find them!

 On Wednesday we had a World Wide Missionary Broadcast. They talked about teaching repentance and baptizing converts. They haven't done one of these in over 10 years! It was great I learned a lot about teaching by the spirit and we just need to be worthy to have the spirit with us when we are teaching. It is not us that teach people it is the spirit that touches people’s hearts if they are willing to open their hearts to the spirit.

Dwayne and Yaneek are not getting married until the summer. Dwayne's mom said he couldn't get married until she was there. Yaneek really wants to be baptized but because they are living together they can't. Dwayne doesn’t want to be baptized anymore. He isn't sure. He said he is confused. He also isn't reading and hasn't been to church in 5 weeks. Once they stop doing the simple things the spirit starts to not be there as often. The ward is really trying to help them now. I hope it works out!!

 Nuff Love, Elder Christensen
