2nd Transfer: Week 1 ~ First Drink From A Coconut!:)


Koi Pond
Hey Mom! So I feel like such a horrible daughter, I forgot to tell you Happy Mothers Day! You are the best mother and I am so happy I was put into this family. Heavenly Father knew you could deal with me that's why he picked you and dad to be my parents. Mom you are my best friend I tell Sister B that all the time. You really are I love you so much and am so very thankful for what you do for our family. Tell dad happy early birthday! and tell him how much I love him and am so thankful to have him for a father. I hope I didn't offend him by asking about work, I am just curious cause I am excited to see where I will be coming home to! Hopefully            
Too funny!
somewhere awesome and somewhere where it will fit Lauren. I love you all and was so happy to talk with you all on Skype. It was hard to say good-bye but I had to be pulled away to get back to work. So for the box you can just put little snacks. That is hilarious that all of you are sending me stickers! The kids will love them! Thank the family for me. Also with the accent, of course I can't really tell because I am with Sister B all the time. So If I sounded different its because of my companion and
Their Book of Mormon Stand

the people that we teach. I have gotten into the language here. I just love it! Well I will send you some more pictures! and with the young women thing, me and Sister B are working hard with the Branch President here. He is trying to get young womens going. These people/girls.. I love them all. I am sending you pictures by the

I love skittles!
way so you should already have some. I've sent you quite a few already. I haven't sent you all the pictures I have taken here so far because it takes forever for this computer to load them.I thought these pics were funny because it said don't go in with the fish? Seriously who would want to swim in there? hahahaha! This is a picture of their Book of Mormon stand that they set up on the street. All four missionaries were there along with the senior couple. They got 38 perspective investigators! Very exciting!  
Oh and the things I bought for you here I will try and send them when I get the truck back. Snacks...hummm yes Skittles..

Me and Sister H
 lots of skittles. I love skittles so much since I have been here. You sent me skittles in my greenie box I was so happy :). This is my bedroom. It was a hot day...and more mac n cheese...yes lots and some more broccoli and cheese rice a roni (only that kind). Can you give us a big bag full of those suckers with the tootsie roll inside?! They are called Tootsie pops or something? We would love some of those! We love suckers haha :) Some thing I forgot to tell you is that our water here goes on and off. So some days when I take a shower there's only like a little drip and it takes me forever to wash off.  Tell dad that we don't have to memorize scriptures but we do have to memorize 8 fundamentals, Christlike attributes, Joseph Smith experience and some thing else i forgot. We are planning to take her back to Jamaica when she gets home ~ you all will come to Jamaica and meet all of the church members :) I am excited to show you all around! We will be getting new sister missionaries so maybe I will train one! That would be a lot of fun :)
YUM!
We were up in LH seeing Brother
W and I was thirsty so he climbed up the coconut tree, got me down a coconut, cracked the top with a machete and gave me a straw. I started to drink :) and was no longer thirsty. 
Bag Juice










Bag juice is just fruit juice. Its really yum. My fav. flavor is tropical one. It is 20 dollars for bag juice :) and i am addicted! FYI: Nephi and I about died when she said that "caprisun" cost $20.00. However, when I had time to think I realized that she meant Jamaican money. The equivalent in American money is $0.23. A quarter sounds much better!

(I told her that Lauren saw a microscopic spider and was scared to death) ~ hahaha!! Poor Lauren. She is getting cuter and cuter by the minute! Her hair is getting so long and she is getting so big. I miss her! She makes me laugh. Well mom just in case this computer shuts down I love you and am so happy i got to see you and the family yesterday. Tell everyone I am doing great and to pray for me and my companion!! Love you all! :)  (We end several times during a conversation in case her computer shuts off)
Banana Spider
Montego Bay
Here is a pic driving to Montego Bay to pick up Sister B from the airport after her temple trip. These are the better looking houses. Not what we see in our area :) I'm glad you like the pictures! Yes I will take pictures of my investigators at their house and I will take a picture of our house. I would have taken a pic of it today but it was pouring rain outside today. Like POURING. It was insane so we stayed in today. So I will take more pictures and send them to you :) Well mom it was good talking to you I will be getting off soon and I don't want it shutting off without me telling you goodbye. so Love you and thank you for sending me packages. you are the best! love you and stay safe :) and tell dad that I sent him an e-mail too. BYE My Family Love you :) I am off to go get pizza with the elders now! woot woot love you mom and tell everyone else I love them to bye!

There is a lady in Mackenzie's branch who is dying of colon cancer. She is in extreme pain and cries out for help. Mackenzie and her companion have helped her and her heart aches for her and her children. The majority of women in Jamaica are single mothers. As of late, Sister R's sister is caring for her. I asked Mackenzie what her name is so we could put her name in the temple. We hope that her pain can be relieved as she passes through the remainder of her time here on this earth. Please pray for her and her children. So sad......

C R is her name :) LOVE YOU MOMMMM and ALL OF MY FAMILYYY . STAY SAFE MON!! hahaha :) Thanks for the prayers!
