So last week i didnt get a chance to email a blog update home so this covers 2 weeks. The big news first. I had my 6 month mark on Feb. 4th. It has been 6 months since Elder Montgomery, Ostberg and Randle first stepped foot in Jamaica. Time goes by pretty fast its crazy! Some other big news is that transfer calls were done on Sunday and I will be staying in Mo Bay and Elder Colucci will be going to Kingston. I will be serving with Elder Condor. I dont really know to much about him. I found out Sunday that my good friend Elder Montgomery is going to the Cayman Islands. That is way cool and im happy for him. He is going to tear it up there. Elder Peterson is still my ZL so thats cool. So these last couple of weeks we have been working with some pretty strong people. We are working with Terriann and her daughter Chevelle and we are working with a young man named Jordan. They are awesome and they all have dates for the 19th. Jordan wants an ocean baptisim. We also found some really good people that I think will be good. We had 3 investigators at church Sunday and President Hendricks was visiting so that was cool. Earlier this week Terriann's youngest daughter Ashley was very sick when we got there for an appointment. They were getting ready to leave and go to the clinic. I offered if we should give her a blessing. We explained what it meant and the procedure and she agreed. Elder Colucci annointed and I gave the blessing. I dont really remember what I said but After I said amen, Ashley was up and bouncing around and looked alot different then she had before. It was awesome. Then Yesterday after church we went and saw terriann and chevelle and we watched the restoration with them. After we watched it with them they said it made them want to cry. Chevelle has been reading the Book of Mormon and she said when she reads it she doesnt want to put it down and she gets these feelings that she cant explain. People ask her about it and she says she just wants to tell them everything that she knows about it. When we were teaching them Sunday the spirit was so strong. It was one of the best lessons that I have had in my mission. We then went to teach Jordan and man he is smart. He knew everything about what we were teaching him, he could have got up there and taught us. So these last 2 weeks have been pretty good. Everything is so much better when you have good investigators.
So the week before this one we went to falmouth to help a member build a house. We worked on the foundation. It felt so good to do some work like that even tho it was way hot. While we were working we found some 40 leggers. They are huge centipede's that are poision and cause your arm to swell up huge if you get bit by them. Then after the sorrensen's took us to look at some croccidiles. I got a package from the fam with some mash potatoes in it and man i could have died a happy man after eating those things. They were so good
