Hey Homies

Another week down.....this week was slow but it was a good one! We got some snow.....I feel like all the snow got saved up during the winter so that when I got back from paradise it just started to fall hahaha!  We got a new elder in our district and his name is Elder Stubbs.  He's from the Bahamas and our district is the goat! I'm really loving Jamaica. We are having tons of fun and working really hard. I can see Gods hand in my life every day.

So this week we had transfers on Tuesday and my man Putoa is going home.  He is going to be a professional boxer so go watch him on TV.  We got to do some service helping a member move so that was way good. I haven't done much since being back from Bermuda. I love helping people like that....serving others brings so much joy into our lives.

So update on some of our people! Max is doing good and his family is awesome.  Slowly we are gonna get them solid and back at church and Max can be baptized!  We are going to have a lesson and talk about a baptismal date with him this week!  Tarah our investigator who is way solid actually lives out of our area, so we have to pass her to the other elders which means we won't get to baptize her but the most important thing is that she changed her life!  Tashon is being tricky but we are still working hard with him!  I'll keep you updated.

We are able to work with a lot of members as well and I love creating relationships with these people and helping them in their lives and I grow so much from them as well.  There are so many people I'm gonna have to come visit.  I know the most effective way of sharing the gospel and helping people and finding happiness in my own life is by helping those close around us and serving them.

Anyway. I'm super pumped for General Conference and Easter coming up this week!  Be sure to let me know your favorite talk.  Kaler better not be taking a nap like we used to in the good ole days hahaha!  I love conference and I'm pumped to hear what our new prophet has to say! I love you all. Shout out to K9 on that birthday big 20! Keep grinding out there! Have a great week.

Hey Homies

Well another transfer is done...it flew by and I can't believe I've been gone from Bermuda that long.  It's starting to be just like a dream! I'm gonna be staying here in Jamaica Queens still with my companion Elder Joseph! sak pase!  Elder Joy is leaving from our district so we will be getting someone New!  Time is flying out here.  I miss you all and even if I don't write all the time I love you a lot.

This week was so packed wow.  We had a lot a lot of great visits with members and investigators.  A little update....we are still working with our less active family the Diaz's and their 9 year old is our investigator and they are so awesome.  The kid is smarter than me so I'm excited to hopefully get him baptized soon!  They are so awesome.  They want us to have lunch with them every Saturday!  The mom is a returned missionary who served in AZ!  We are also working with Tayshon.  We had a dope lesson with him in a Dunkin Donuts and the spirit was so strong.  He has already read to 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon!  We also picked up and investigator who is the aunt of a member!  I know it's God's work and we are really all just here to love.  If there is anything I can do for any of you please let me know!

We are doing really great out here. New York is awesome and it's teaching me so much! Love you all...shout out to the squad. I'm still waiting on an email from Cam's girl lol. Anyway have a good week!

PS  My bracket is busted hahaha. Still beating my family tho cause you know me.

What's up homies

Super quick week out here in Jamaica Queens.  We got some snow this week and it sucked haha but it's already melted and the weather is heating back up!  The week just flew by.  We got 3 new solid investigators so I'm super pumped about that.  We had exchanges and the members have  been hooking it up with the food. (Also March madness is here and you know I'll be filling out my bracket, let the spirit guide)!

Anyway this week we were blessed in the work.  We got a member referral and also a less active family is coming back and we are gonna be teaching their 9 year old son and them to bring them back!  Members really are the way to find people to be baptized.  If every member of the church was just doing their best to help those in their little bubble, the church would grow so much.   Pray for Max (9 year old) he should he baptized pretty soon!  Also Tarah and Tashon.   Tashon also told us he wanted to be baptized!  We are still working with are other homies but most don't wanna come to church so we are still working. 

It's the last week of the transfer so next week we will find out news but I should be staying here with Elder Joseph.  I'm pumped he's the biggest homie.  Anyways I got my mission album still going strong and we got a new song that we finished this week.  Shout out the the homies fine 9 killin it.... home stretch boys! I love this gospel and what it does for me.  I invite everyone to read 1 Corinthians 13 this week and let me know what you think.  That is truly the essence of all of this.
Love you all.

No pics really sorry, this is our district grubbin on Belut. (it's baby duck, philipinos got us).

What's up everyone

It was another good week that flew by! We were pretty busy this week with interviews and exchanges and stuff going on. The elders had another baptism this week so that was awesome.  It was a member family who has a best friend living with them and they were able to baptize! Jamaica is a pretty cool place and I'm loving being here and my companion is a homie!

With our investigators this week kinda sucked.  We had so many people cancel there lessons that we had with them and even more just not be there when we showed up. It's hard when people won't keep commitments but it's still looking up. I will let you know how it goes with our people when we get to meet with them again. This week tho we got a new guy from the sisters who seems cool and we also found another girl knocking on her door.  They both seem pretty interested so hopefully that all works out. The most important thing to remember in life tho is to just do God's will and let him show you the path he wants you to take. If you humble yourself and let God guide you, I promise you that you will be happy.

To be honest tho, I don't have much to write about. Like it was a good week but just kinda the basic missionary stuff. We got to move someone on Saturday.  I love doing service so that was good!  I hope you all have a good week.  Always remember how important the gospel is and to seek God's will. I love you all.  Keep me updated on the sports world... I'm never mad to get an email about that hahaha! Anyway I'll talk to you next week.
