Week 33 - Kingston

Week 33  04-25-2016   

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was super cool. Elder Fowkes and I have been hitting the Gym pretty hard now because he has 3 weeks until he goes home. Elder Martin left to Yallas and now Elder Ostrouski is here! The house is still great! We get a lot of things done!

Elder Fowkes and I have been trying to work with ward members a lot more so we talked to sister Green and she said for us to come over and have dinner with them. There are 2 Returned Missionaries in their home so we invited them to help us teach someone in their area they are so excited! The dinner was amazing too! It was Brown stew chicken :) We had some good laughs and some funny Patwah speaking but the spiritual thought was great. They are such an awesome family!

We went to a Penticostal church last week. It was a lot different than ours. It was so loud and had the band there. The pastor gave us a shout out though which was cool. Free advertising for the church haha. It was nice when we got back to our church it made me feel a lot better and like at home.

We have some awesome investigators. Michael is a member in the ward and he is 24 and love coming out with us. When he comes with us we get a lot of new people to meet with. He talks with all the women. Elder Fowkes and I just laugh and try to keep quiet when he is talking but he did introduce us to his friend Hava, She is awesome she really wants to know if this is true. She is coming to church this Sunday she said. She has a little boy that’s 7 months. He was born when i left on my mission!! Cool kid right there!

This week we also saw a woman named Shari, We were having a lesson at Loriece's house and she was there doing her hair. (loriece is a old woman who can't walk because she has had 2 knee replacements and hip replacements a few months ago) When we were talking about the Restoration she was looking at it and got big eyes about it. So we asked if we can share more. We saw her yesterday and she said she grew up with a pastor as a step father and she has always felt something mission. She said there is a hole in this and i don't know why. Elder Fowkes and I looked at each other and just smiled! She is so ready she wants to be happy and this gospel will do just that!! Love the Jamaicans!!

Nuff Love, 

Elder Christensen
