2nd Transfer: Week 6 ~ TRANSFER CALLS!!

So we got transfer calls Saturday morning and guess what?!!!!!!! I am going to............... haha just kidding. I am staying here with Sister B! whoop whoop! Sister B was SOO HAPPY! But there is a little twist. We will be getting another sister! so we will be a Tri Companionship! Now we have to add another bed in our room. Its going to be a party every night! haha just kidding... actually I don't think I'm kidding. The new sister is Sister W. She has been out for almost 8 months. It will be fun!! We are so excited to get her. She went with Sister B on the temple trip so they know each other well. She is another Jamaican sister :) Which is legit. So I am happy. We will be going to Spanish Town on Wed. for the transfers. I can't wait to talk to you next monday and tell you how our new companion is doing :)

This week has been pretty nice. We have gotten a couple new investigators. The work is going really well. D is awesome. We talked to him about the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation and it was like a light bulb lit up in his head! It was hilarious he was like "THIS MAKES SENSE". He immediately started to chat like crazy because of his excitement. So he will be ready for baptism in no time. He is divorcing his wife who called us devils because she doesn't want to live in his humble home. She has been complaining and said she wants a divorce. She wants to live with her mother. So now he is focusing on himself and his relationship with his Heavenly Father. Which is perfect! So we are excited for him. We keep him in our prayers so hopefully he will be ready for baptism in no time. We dropped R... don't ask... he just wants to be baptized for a reason he doesn't even know about. He texts and calls us all the time which is getting creepy and he stands us up when we wait for him (for like an hour) at the church to do a lesson with him. So we told him we are not doing this anymore. When he is ready to be serious he can give us a call.

We went up to LH this week, parked the truck and literally walked the whole town to find new investigators. Me and Sister B are fed up with driving everywhere and seeing the same people. Brother W says that LH has needs. So me and Sister B were like "Perfect! Lets walk and get new investigators and pass out pamphlets" and thats exactly what we did. We just walked and talked to people on the street and at their homes and they are willing for us to come back and teach them :) Isn't that amazing? We walk through the forest to get to our people, but its worth it. They are children of God and we gotta hasten this work!:) I just love Brother W he is so cute. So now we have a lot of new people we will be seeing up in LH. I am excited :) We have B, J, C, C, and some families that are friends with Brother W. So its perfect. Oh, and W and some guy that we call rasta man.:) It is definitely time to harvest because they have seen missionaries walk around before but they haven't talked to them. We talk to everybody now because Jamaica is really hastening and we want a temple here!! :)

We went and did service for Sister N. We washed! I love washing by hand it is so fun. I feel like I'm on a movie some days. I pretend I get stranded on an island and have to wash my own clothes to survive. I know I am weird but the life of a missionary can be boring at times you have to be creative :) HAHA! Here's another weird experience. After church we were waiting to have our missionary meeting and this guy, that we always see begging for money at the Scotia Bank, came and knocked on our church door. Me and Sister B were the ones by the door so I went to go answer. I said "yes?". He said, "I need some food". I told him "we don't have food and I cannot give out any money". He then started saying me and Sister B are not Christians because we don't help him. We were like "okay whatever sir" (he is in his 20's). Then he said I was very rude that I just pass by him everytime he asks. I said, "SIR WE CANNOT GIVE YOU ANY MONEY!" I then told him to leave because I was getting so aggravated!!! He then said that he was going to get his gunman friends to come find us and shoot us. Even though that stuff is real here (people really do have gunman in our area...they come out at night) I am not scared whatsoever. You really have to be bold here or you will be walked all over. We recently had a shooting near our house area...near where M lives. So thank goodness we were not at her house that night. But no worries we are safe! A lot of shootings go on here in our area and we have to be very cautious but its good mom we won't get shot I promise :)

This week has been amazing!! I have some new pictures to show you guys :). I am trying to take as many pictures as possible so I can show my kids and my family all about my mission and the crazy experiences I had. haha :)

Walking in the bush

So we are proselyting in LH. Walking around trying to find new investigators. As you can tell we walk in the bush to get to their houses :) This is Brother W at his house to :)

Brother W

I bought all of the things for you guys. I made a plan with Sister B to get all of the things today.. pack it up today.. then mail it off tomorrow. Hopefully I can do it :) The lake sounds like a lot of fun by the way.... not going to lie. Its been very hot here in Jamaica as well...I don't know how hot it gets but I just know it is hot. :) I love you Mom! and I heard that Fathers day was good for dad. He says he got a new grill :) thats legit. Glad he enjoyed yesterday!

I enjoyed your e-mail and know that you guys are in Del Rio for a reason. There are positive things happening for you guys there in Texas. If I come home to Texas I won't be upset. I have been thinking here and I'm thinking about going to BYU Idaho. I don't know what I am going to do when I get back home. Its something I am going to have to pray about.

Sister A! She's awesome:)

We had trade off's this week and I was with Sister A! She is a new Sister Training Leader and she was so much fun! We are at Brother W's. I love Sister A. She was awesome. :)

"Football"

So this is up in LH. We were waiting for Brother H (near the end of the day) and decided to talk to Brother W while watching some kids play "Football" (Soccer) which was fun.

Then the other picture is Me, Sister B and Sister V. She is 6'3 and I just love her to death! She used to be a model because she is so tall. She is hilarious. She has been through so much but she is a strong member of the church. We take her out to lessons with us sometimes. We wanted a picture of us looking like the verizon bars!

The Verizon Bars!:)

(I mentioned our ant problem) Talking about ants.... you're lucky they aren't in the house. I constantly have to kill ants on our counters. Some got in my brown sugar the other day.. i had to dump it all out.. it was a pain. I just remembered I stepped in an ant pile and I got bit up really bad by the ants. It hurts! I have never got bit by ants before in my life. It hurt bad! I just went grocery shopping so there might not be such money in the bank acccount.. I am trying to cook more food so I can be healthier.. I have been eating mac N cheese. and I told President B that in my interview and he didn't like that to much so we joked back and forth and I told him I will do better with cooking actual food. haha!

This is a nice picture.The Island just stops and its complete ocean. I loveee this view. This was up by Sister N's house.

"I loveee this view"

Well Mom its almost time for me to get off the computer, just wanted to let you know that I love you all and miss you all! I am staying safe and I hope you all stay safe as well. I pray for you guys every night because I worry about my family. Sooooooooo stay safe. Love you Mom and I hope you are still feeling good every day :) I will try and send the package tomorrow for you guys. I am so happy to know all of you are doing fantastic at home and that all of you are healthy and safe! I will enjoy my box I am soo excited to get it!! Love you!!
