Things have been good these past few weeks. We have had a pretty busy schedule. For about the last week and a half of April we had to teach zone conference to all the zones in the mission. So we had to go all around Jamaica to the different zones. Then for about 7 days we were flying to the different islands doing zone conference for the missionaries out there. It was so cool to be able to go back to Cayman and see everyone, I really love that place so much. The people there are amazing. It was hard to leave, it was almost like I had never left. I am excited to go back there with Elder Montgomery and Elder Mcready. Then we flew to Turks and Caicos island, the beaches there are incredible but the island itself reminds me of somewhere like Elko or Winamucca, Nevada. It's a very dry, desert looking island. But It was really cool to see the missionaries there. We had a lot of fun. Elder Nelson and I probably got about 4 hours of sleep total for the 2 days that we were there. We did zone conference there on Saturday then we went to church on Sunday which was cool. There is a translator that translates everything into French, which makes it hard to pay attention. Then after church we flew to Nassau, Bahamas where I kept my streak of only about 2 hours of sleep. Nassau seems like a cool island, it's very Americanized and they have a McDonald's. Zone conference there was good. Then we flew back to Jamaica and made it home at about 9:30.  It was a very long couple days of traveling but it was a lot of fun. Really cool experience.

This week was an awesome week, We took our Pday on Monday and there was a big activity at the church called Easter Monday Funday. All of Jamaica has the Monday after Easter off of work so we went to the church with the branch and played a lot of games and had a lot of fun. Tuesday, we had a meeting with President Hendricks making some plans for zone conferences that are coming up and getting everything squared away so that was really cool. Then we had a full day of teaching after that so that was really awesome. We have some awesome people that we area working with now both investigators and Recent converts. I am super excited to work with all of them and it has been awesome getting to know everybody. The Recent Converts here are incredible. Kingston is HUGE and it is CRAZY. There is always something going on which is awesome. On Wednesday we did a trade off with the Santa Cruz Elders AKA Elder Conder and Elder Brockbank, that was awesome they are great missionaries, anytime Elder Conder and I get together its a lot of fun, it brought back memories of the good old Mo bay days. After that we had ZLC Thursday which was awesome. It was a fun drive back. It seems like we are always busy and always have something to do which is a good thing and I love it. Friday we had to figure out all the flight info for us going to the different zone conferences off island going to Cayman, Turks and Caicos and Nassau. so it took a long time. And here we are Saturday, Awesome week. Lovin Kingston
