| Almost there! |
Hey Fam! So..this is a picture of us going up the mountain to Sister Robinsons house (less active). We have to endure going up there almost twice a week. I call it Mt. Everest. But this is a picture of the last "hill" that we climb before we reach her house. The other picture is the view that we see as we are climbing up Mt. Everest to Sister Robs.
Well, this week was pretty hilarious. A lot of things happened! Where do I begin... Okay so we went up to Limehall this week to proselyte with Brother Wayne (recent convert). We went to this investigators house who is his ex's sisters house. We have been teaching her. While we were there his ex girlfriend (they have a daughter together) came over and said "Wayne I gotta talk to you" and he told her he is in a lesson but he will come out after. She started yelling and screaming then he got mad and went out to her . She started punching him and he started
hitting her!! It was this BIG thing. All of a sudden a chick threw a big rock towards his head and luckily it missed. He picked

up a broom and started wacking her. Then someone finally got Wayne. We had to stay with him for 2 hours in Annies house because he was heated and was going to go back out. He was saying he doesn't care if he goes to jail.. Oh my goodness! It was crazy!! Then the next time we went up to Lime Hall the rasta man (that we are going to teach) came up and started saying this foolishness while we were teaching Maxine. He was telling his beliefs and started going into slavery or something. Maxine started yelling and reciting things from the Bible. It was hilarious because every time she had some thing to say she hit me and said, "Sister
Judd I got ANOTHER THING TO SAY!" hahahahahaha I laughed sooo hard. I then had to calm down the situation. It was so funny.

Then we asked this old lady named Daris to say the closing prayer (investigator) and I was bowing my head ready to hear the prayer when all of a sudden she hit me and said " you say the prayer for me!" HA! Therefore I have been hit twice thus far. Then we went to Shelly's place to teach her and she loves to joke with me because I have a sense of humor. That's what we do. Then all of a sudden she hit me on the arm to! So I have been hit plenty of times this week. It has been such a funny week.

We went to this less actives house to teach him (Brother Francis). He lives right by the beach. We decided to go down and have the lesson on the beach.

He started flexing for us and telling us how he wants to go to the temple some day and trying to be romantic! Oh my goodness... this week was such a funny week. Also I really grew to love Sister Walker, she is so hilarious. We are just alike! We love to joke around and goof. So I really love my companions, but too bad it will change in 2 weeks. Oh well, part of missionary life.
This is at Brother Francis House! The first picture a wave came and crashed me and Sister Bailey HAHA We got soaked. But at least I can say I have been in the Caribbean sea :)

Oh, I forgot to mention we are also teaching this guy who is an artist here in Jamaica. He has legit songs on the radio that are pretty big here in Jamaica. I hear them on the radio every time we taxi around. He is a really good investigator. He is actually very interested so it has been pretty cool to meet with him and teach him the gospel.
We also taxi'd to Port Antonio for district meeting which is 2 hours away. I got to talk with the Elders and get to know them better which was really fun. We picked Ricardo back up so that was pretty much my week. The Sister Training Leaders will be meeting with us this Wednesday to see how we are doing.
I have now read the Book of Mormon twice. I will (hopefully) have read it three or four times before I come home. I have not been cooking because there are no ingredients here to cook anything that I am used to back at
home but its okay. (She was bitten on her legs by a bunch of ants) And yes I stood in the ant pile and i had no idea I was in it . I am so happy that you and Lauren are little waterbugs this summer and are going out and doing fun things! I am glad that you are having a stress free summer too! Tell Grandma that I just received her package and tell her thank you so much for me.
| Ocean! |
Jamaica has been soooo stinking hot these past couple of weeks.. some days I feel like I can't even breathe. The humidity is horrible and the sun is just on me all the time. Yesterday reached
115 degrees! It was horrible! The humidity does make it worse but it's okay!
We have been having hurricane weather. This week has been sunny almost every day. So it hasn't been too bad but we have had heavy rains.
| A Mango Tree! |
We went in the backyard of Brother Barbajees house (First Counselor) to pick up mangoes for us. So we are in the bush (forest) and this is a Mango tree!
Well mom I am glad all of you are doing good and safe and had a fun fourth of July! Tell Lauren that I love her. I am glad Brittany found herself a job and Dad is trying for San Antonio. I will pray for Chandler. His time is about up though which is good for him! I feel sorry for him. I bet this break will feel good to him. But my time is about up on the computer. I am glad all of you had a fun and safe week :) And I am staying safe so don't worry about me ya hear? :)
But I love you mom, and tell everyone I love them too! I need to go grocery shopping now... I don't know what I am going to get but I should find some thing :) haha. LOVE YOU ALL SOO VERY MUCH!!!! BYE!! Don't worry Heavenly Father is taking care of me! BYE MOM!!
