Week 40 Kingston

Week 40  06-13-2016   

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was great! I learned a lot from some General Authorities.

We had stake conference this week. One thing we learned was from the story of the Brother of Jared. The brother of Jared brought the stones to the lord. He had to bring something to the lord before he makes something great out of it! It was super great to hear that. We need to bring something to the lord before he makes something great out of it.

This week we had an awesome lesson with Janiqua. We watched the Mormon message with her about the man's family who died in a car crash due to a drunk driver. She felt the spirit! She wiped her eyes a couple times! Haha. We were talking about the plan of salvation and how we all have agency. The boy had the agency to get in the car drunk. We were also trying to relate how bad things happen to good people sometimes and it isn't that god doesn't love us but he has another plan for us. We read 2 Nephi 24 with her and it just clicked with her!

Elder Kolomalu is great we went to a Investigators house Shadean and there’s a lot of kids in the yard who love us and he is a great beat boxer so he lined up the kids and when he hit their heads he would beat box. it was so funny

Love this work love feeling the spirit for sure. When we were at stake conference I was listening to one of the General authorities and had the prompting to ask god if he was a truly called of god. I did what I was prompted and the spirit was so strong and I learned so much from the messages he shared. On Sunday he said in his testimony that he has met Christ and knows that he is real and he loves all of us... Wow the whole room went silent and the spirit was super strong. Love this gospel!!

Nuff Love Everybody,

One of the oldest bridges in Jamaica. It was man made and they call it Slave Bridge because the slaves built it. Now people try to hang people off it so there are guards under one of the trees... love Spanish town haha :)
