Hi family! Here is the rundown of my week!

way to the airport:) |
Transfers..........it was very hard to say goodbye to Sister Bailey. I didn't think I was going to cry but when the time came to give her a hug and say bye it was hard! but I know I will see Sister Bailey again and Sister Dill I just loved. Two of the greatest friends that I have. Sister Dill said that she just received your Christmas package. She said she just loved everything and that she loves you to mom! Transfers make me soo nervous!! The companion is what worries me the most. But I have a wonderful new companion, her name is Sister Mouritsen. She is awesome! She is the new district leader here off island (which is exciting). She holds District Meetings every Wednesday morning with the Freeport Elders. They Skype in. I just love her! She reminds me of myself! No drama, she loves the gospel, doesn't like gossip, etc. The Lord knew I was supposed to meet her! It's so weird. I can actually get along with an American! She has been out for almost 9 months.

As for the work here this week, it was a little slow at first due to transfers and helping Sister Mouritsen get to know the area but it has been great. She is from Kaysville, Utah. She has a BF who is on his mission in Fort Worth, Texas.
I forgot to mention, me and Sister Mouritsen learned how to make this dessert here in the Bahamas. It's called Guava Duff. Guava is a fruit here in the Carribean and it is disgusting. It tastes more like a vegetable. But anyway, we will be making a strawberry and banana duff. It's so good! So if we make it here and its a success, expect to be having duff when I get home. :)
I had a baptism, his name is Jerome and he is awesome. He has been coming to church every single Sunday! and President Ferdinand told me that he will soon receive the priesthood.

We will be having another baptism soon, his name is Kevin and he is a taxi driver. He was a referral from tourists months ago. He was pretty hard to get in contact with and the desire wasn't there at first. But then I called him one more time and ever since then he has been so diligent in meeting with us and hearing the message that we have to share. As I kept asking him if he would come to church , his reply was always "sure, I will try to make it". I was fed up with it and I used much boldness. I pretty much said, "you read the Bible and you know it through and through. You speak to others about the Bible and it's doctrine but you are not acting upon what you are saying. Keeping the Sabbath Day holy is a

commandment, and you are not keeping it." Ever since I told him that he has not missed 1 Sunday of church. He has come to church 3 times already. So 2 more Sundays and he can be baptized! On Saturday he expressed to me that he was sad he couldn't say this to Sister Dill before she left but that he is now ready to make that commitment to be baptized. I was so excited! He will make a great addition to this church. He knows the doctrine and he knows it to be true. He has read the Book of Mormon that we have given to him and he has marked a ton of verses! He was touched by "The Restoration" movie that we showed him and he loves how in this church the members have unity. He said that's something he has never seen before.

Emery! He kept saying "Mommy
I look good!" Bannie kept trying
to get him to change. He loved what
he was wearing:). |
Here is something about Eddie, you are going to be amazed at this. We dropped Eddie due to him not remembering the lessons. We decided to give him a little break but he comes to church every Sunday! He has come these past 2 Sundays. I told myself that if he came yesterday to church that we will pick him back up and teach him and he came! So we will be teaching Eddie again this week. We will see how it goes.
Well my sweet mother I love you very very much! My time is about up, tell everyone else that I love them. Tell Adam that I miss him and love him. Tell Lauren that I love her very muchhhh and miss her toooo. Tell Dad that I LOVE HIMMMM and am happy for his new job, he will do great!

Look at this cool sun dial I found on Paradise Island.
It looks like it was in the Medieval times. Too much history on these islands mann.....
