5th Transfer: Week 6 ~ Wonderful Missionary Experiences!:)

Some awesome kids!

So this week nothing super crazy happened with the exception of this man hopping the fence to get into the church parking lot to get to this mashed up vehicle we have from a past missionary who wrecked it. He was taking parts out of it but thank goodness President Ferdinand was at the church. He took a machete and went up to him and said "who allowed you to be here?" and the other guy brought out a machete too and President immediately started yelling saying "Get off my property!!" and ran him off with his machete. It is a hilarious story!! hahahaha! but other than that.. we just taught like we do all day everyday which is wonderful :)

We did have a trade off and I was with Sister Bailey in her area. I just loved the kids that she teaches! They are her recent converts and one is an investigator. They are awesome.

We haven't seen Reo since that first visit we had with him months ago. We don't teach Rhada and Narissa they both are not interested but on the bright side of things we do teach Jerome, Debra, Fabiola, Diane, Anne, and Beverly. It's going pretty good. We now have 3 investigators who have accepted baptismal dates. Now it's just getting them to that date but we will see how things go.

We have really gotten close to the members of the church. Even the men here say "You 2 missionaries are the bomb" in their haitian accent. It's so hilarious! but it's nice to feel appreciated and loved. Every time we go to church everyone is so excited to see us. I just love the people here. It's like a giant family that we have. Its wonderful.

How do we do this?

Funny story that happened this week. So... I woke up with my car having a super flat tire. A nail was in it and drained all the air out so I couldn't drive the car anywhere. Sister Oman (the brains of the group) took out the manual and started to learn how to change a tire. It was hilarious!! A bunch of sisters stranded on an island trying to change a tire.

Transfer calls were on Saturday. All of us are staying here in Nassau so no changes. Me and Sister Bailey are like sisters. I told her last night, "Sister Bailey, what if we went to the

same area again?!" and she said, "I know I was thinking about that to!" Then she said she would hate it. HAHAHAHA!! She has rude sarcasm like me! Oh my goodness she makes me laugh. I would love to stay with her. I would be so sad if we went to different areas. She is like family!! I came in this morning and surprised the sisters with a little snack and a little drink for them. Sister Bailey was like "oh my goodness thank you soo much Sister Judd" and they all gave me hugs. Sister Bailey almost cried as I was giving her rice krispy treat. She is just so
spiritual!

I got it off! I was so excited!
I'm not anorexic. I promise!

I have been reading in the New Testament now and my favorite chapter is Luke chapter 15. You have to read it! It just shows how much the Lord loves us so very much even those who go astray. It made me happy to know that when there is a lost sheep and he is found the heavens rejoice! It brought me happiness just reading it! It's a great chapter. Aren't the scriptures addicting? We have one hour of personal study... I wish I had longer.

I loved hearing about your camping trip! I forgot to tell you! Last P-day we went to downtown Nassau.

You would have thought we were celebrities. I guess they had a church trip or something because we walked passed these older people and they were like "MISSIONARIES!" They were all from Georgia too. I even met the mission president in Georgia. I asked them if they knew the Seawells and they definitely did. It was crazy! As we were walking they would mouth and point " the missionaries!" so we would just stop and say hey. It was so funny.

I forgot to tell you this but you might think this is exciting! I have been e-mailing my friend who was my host in the MTC. She is from Brazil and was called to Japan! So we have been emailing

Sister Dill with Shanae and Jordan!
They all loved the flowers in their hair.

each other back and forth and sharing mission experiences. We each send 2 pictures in the e-mail. It's so fun! I just love her... we got along so fast! :)

This picture was taken after Sister Dill's picture. They all said "Hey what about our picture with you Sister Judd?!" so I took a picture with them. The baby's name is Shawn and every time I go over he clings to me. I always have to tell him that he can't sit on my lap :) He tries all the time. Poor little thing. I love my girls.

Lisa wants me and Sister Dill to help her decorate for Trunk or Treat this week. We will be having one on Friday. This will be the first time that they have had a Trunk or Treat in Nassau. Woohoo! Lisa found it on pinterest and she wasn't going to do it until I told her that that's what we do back in the states! and then she put it into action! So we're all so excited for that and we will help her decorate. Some people celebrate Halloween here in the Bahamas but Jamaica does not celebrate it at all :). We won't be giving out anything. We will just be taking it from the kids. Just kidding...

But anyway, I have to go now my time is about up. I love you all my family and I love you mom thanks for e-mailing me every week. I am so glad you all had a really fun week and had so much fun camping. Good luck on the Activity Days and on the Halloween party! I bet they all are going to go well! I love you mom, you are wonderful! I keep you all in my prayers 24/7.

TELL THE FAMILY I LOVE THEM AND MISS THEM ALL! TELL LAUREN THAT I AM SO PROUD OF SEEING HER CATCH A FISH!!! OKAY BYYYYEEE LOVE YOU!!
