Well its my last Monday in Grand Cayman, and my last week. What a week it has been. A lot of good stuff happened. We had an awesome lesson with an investigator who was from the Phillipines. We had Aaron, a member, translate for us, it was awesome and the spirit was really strong. One highlight was that we go up to this house to knock and elder mccready is about to knock, his hand is like an inch away from the door, then the door opens and 2 huge snarling German Shepherds are leaping at us barking and trying to jump and charge us, their owner didn't know we were out there and had them on leashes to take them for a walk. He was just and old Englishman and he barely had the dogs, I took off down the driveway and elder mccready was frozen in shock. As soon as I saw they were on leashes I went back but it really got the ole heart pumpin, it was really funny. One of the biggest highlights of this week was the visit from Elder Vinas of the 70. We got to drive him around and go to his meetings with him and have lunch with him and his wife. It was really cool. The spirit is really strong with him, just being around both of them is really incredible. It was such a great blessing, how many people get to be around a member of the 70? It was really cool. He gave us some good counsel and some cool info on the 12 apostles and the Prophet. I'm never going to forget having this opportunity. I'm flying back to Jamaica tomorrow but am going through Miami first so I'm pretty sure I'm going to be on the same flight with them. It seriously was really cool. One thing he told us is that the scriptures are full of patterns and that the more patterns that we find the more we understand the scriptures. He also said that we should study the scriptures for the calling that we have, every time that we get a new calling our study of the scriptures starts over again in relation to our calling. The Atonement allows us to suffer with joy, we don't get to choose if we suffer but we do get to choose if we suffer with joy or not. The gospel it self is really centered around the Atonement and progression is centered around the Atonement and the Temple. The Atonement is the central process of every cycle and procedure in the gospel. I have loved my time here in grand cayman it has been such a blessing. I love it. I feel like I'm leaving the branch stronger than when I found it and I am so lucky to have been able to serve here. The people here are great and I have had some great examples. I am thankful to all of them. I have had some great memories here, and I will never forget them. I'm going to miss all the people here.
