I got to chat with Mackenzie again yesterday. We both look forward to that each week:). So things make a little more sense I put some explanations in italics.

That's crazy !! He
(President B) called you. That's awesome. Isn't he awesome? I just love him and yes he knows I love the people here in Jamaica. I'm glad you got to talk to him!
(He sounds American ~ no accent) He lives in Jamaica and is an example to all of Jamaica. He goes on t.v. and talks about the church here. He doesn't speak in patois. He does sound american :) When me and Sister B were in an interview with him after zone conference on Tuesday (we are the only sisters in our zone), he pointed at me and said "at some point in your mission here you will be a Sister Training Leader". Sister B and I looked at each other and I am like.. what in the world NOOOO! Too much work goes into that. I asked Sister B if that's common for all the sisters at one point to be an STL and she said no! So.... uh oh we will see. That will definitely help me learn a ton.. but anyway we will see. I hope I don't leave the Jamaica Island, but Sister B said "if your parents have to

get a police form for president then you will be going off island". So if Prez ever e-mails you asking for a police form thing then let me know so I can be prepared to leave Jamaica, but as for now I hope that will never happen :) As for the shoes thing
(I've offered to donate shoes) I will definitely ask President L about that and we will do it in a secret way. As for this week we didn't get to do much.. I was sick all weekend. I had to go to the doctor on Friday because I thought I was getting an ear infection. Come to find out I had a Big White Sore in my throat that was affecting my ear every time I swallowed so they gave me a lot of meds to take. Sister B told me we couldn't go proselyting til today, cause I needed my rest. It was a great break but also very boring. We are so happy to go out again to proselyte. I just love the mission. I am getting a little homesick, I will try to not let it get to me though. I have

had dreams all week about you guys and some nights they are bad and some nights they are good dreams but its been freaking me out. So I am glad to know all of you are doing good.. Satan is really trying to break me apart. He is working on me and Sister B hard lately... ugh but don't worry everything is great! I love everything and everyone here so I just keep doing the work! :)
(Concerning life decisions/prayer) Just put your trust in the Lord. He always knows best, better than we do. We just have to be patient. That is something he has taught me so far in this area.. is to be patient and to humble myself. I have learned those 2 things in these 2 months. I sent you a ton of pictures for you to put on my blog! So enjoy :) They are the rest from my camera. I will take more pictures this week. Of the taxis and of my house in stuff :) I get my truck back this Thursday!!!! Oh my Lanta

| So hungry! |
we are so excited. We are actually getting a brand new truck! I am scared to drive it.. I don't want to get a new truck :( I'm gonna wreck it. I will be driving like a snail but everyone here are bad drivers so they will probably run into us.
This pic is of Sister B trying to get down some fruit called Tambrine. She be hungry! I can not eat it plain, only good with sugar I heard from a lot of people here. So I will try to eat it with sugar next time. I LOVE MY MISSION woohoo :)
(She wants the YW in Jamaica to have support. I suggested pen pals) I can talk to President L and the young women president about pen pals (whenever he gets a young women president) and we can set some thing up. I'm sure your activity day girls would love that! as well as these wonderful young girls here.. we only have about 1 active young woman here so far and she is the daughter of Sister R who has cancer. She is a sweet heart. We also have some young women that

will come in. We are working on helping them have the desire to come to young women so they can be strengthened. That will help them want to come every Sunday. So we are working with the girls and I will let you know :) That's a great idea mom! Yesterday at church we got some tourists.. just one little couple from SLC... they were a cute couple. Sister R is not doing good... President L told us to prepare her for the spirit world?! Oh my goodness we could not believe what came out of his mouth! but anyway.. I feel bad for her family its going to be so sad when she passes.. i love her to death!

I want to experience it :( dang elders who get to go and see him.. oh well.. I will just talk to President B about how it was when he met him. I don't think we have anything coming up except this Friday we all are going to clean the church....us and the church members.....that's about it. By the way dad, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Some days I just want to jump in that ocean. well I don't know when this computer is going to shut off on me.. but.... its freaking me out and I don't want to get cut off without saying I love you. so If i don't reply back you know why just know I am doing good and that I love you all :)
Driving, on our way to Montego Bay. Like our view? Talk about tourist area. They have that place looking good there! But our streets here look nothing like that.

My computer got shut off and I just had to pay extra 50 for 30 extra minutes.. so just to tell you that I love you and always pray for you . I miss you all and tell Adam that I love him and am glad that he is doing better, tell Brittany I love her... I hope she is doing okay in SLC still.. and tell Chandler I said I am glad that he is loving college out in Idaho. I still don't know what I am going to do after I come home from this mission.. I hope by the time I leave I know what to do.
