Back to Jamaica

07.18.11

Well its Monday again!!! Pretty crazy. this week flew by with our trip to Jamaica and all it felt like from Tuesday to Friday was just in fast forward and now here it is another new week! We went to Jamaica for zone conference usually they come out here but they had a whole bunch of people that participated in the conference so they just shipped us over there. Got to meet lots of new missionaries i hardly know half of them from being cooped up in Linstead and then coming out here a lot has changed so it was fun to meet some new ones. after the conference we went to TGI Fridays all of the zone was there our total bill was like 35,000 Jamaican thats insane they are gonna love the missionaries. After that we stayed the night at the Kingston zone leaders house Elder Martinez and Poulsen then the next day we hung out in the office till it was time for us to get on the plane and head back to Cayman. We had to go to Miami i never knew it was so hard to get back in your own country lol they had lines and lines of things for us to do. maybe it was just because we were coming from Jamaica. but that airport is huge we had to take 2 trains a billion escalators and finally we got to our terminal by the time we got there i was pooped. by the time we got back to Cayman it was about 7:30 or 8. first thing we did is went and seen Naketa. She was leaving the next day so we wanted to check and see what time her flight left. then on Friday we had just a normal day i was so tired from the flights that i was draggin my butt all day. we got to see Naketa one more time before she left she told us that she is going to get baptized on the 30th in Jamaica so i hope that still goes through. then we had a branch BBQ at the beach that was tons of fun! We got there a little early to help out but some how we found our way to the swings we were swinging and then I told Monty that he needed to jump off the swing. I went first and Margret one of the interns got an awesome pic of me stiking the landing and when i looked back I saw Monty rolling thru the sand haha. it was so funny he had sand in his pockets and all over. we got to play some volleyball also and we also got so good pictures. At 7:30 we had Kerry-anns baptism interview that was crazy we had to take the web cam from the church and go to her work place cuz she couldnt leave work for a minute or 2 i didnt think we were going to be able to have it but we finally got it done! Saturday we were running around getting things ready for the baptism no one would answer there phones so we had to go to there house and ask them if they would give a talk at it finally it came down to it and it all went good! Elder Montgomery baptized her it was awesome the whole thing was good the talks and everything couldnt of asked for anything better!! It was funny. It was a really cool to finally have a baptisim. and the one we had for next weekend went back to Jamaica so its back to the drawing board, But she will for sure get baptized there. Sunday she was confirmed in church so now she is a member woohoo!!! I had to give a talk and also the 2 new interns they went really good.
