We had another good week. We've been working hard and have a few solid investigators. I had the best Thanksgiving ever. It started out like any old day but in the afternoon it began to rain hard. We were wondering what we should do because all our appointments fell through. I called a guy we had met the day before. He said he couldn't meet with us because he was planting so I asked if we could help. It was a lot of fun. we got to play in the mud while planting shoots of calalloo and pokchoy. While we worked we told him the story of another farmer named Joseph Smith. It went great. His name is Brother Richards. he is a great guy with a family and works hard to support them on his little farm. I am really excited to work with him and his family. Afterward we went home and showered and hurried down to the church for another good lesson with another investigator. The branch president picked us up after that and drove us up to a member's house for an even better lesson with a great investigator named Sister Swearing. While we were there a car full of branch members showed up with a ton of food. Jamaica doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, but we did. It was great.
Yesterday we had good Sunday meetings. We were missing a lot of people but it was still good. Sister Swearing came. The teachers were missing for gospel principles class and elders quorum so I ended up teaching both.
I finally got my birthday package the other day. Thanks for all the stuff. My bike really appreciates the new handles and bag and my legs are pretty sore from jump roping so much. I've also been sporting around my new shiny red tie but no one seems to care. Oh well. The peanut butter is much appreciated. They do have it here but it is expensive. Oh, and thanks for the shorts as well as the notes from the Mathesons. On the same day I got my birthday card, and a letter from Bishop Trejo and the Sitts sisters. I've never had so much mail in my life.
Thanks for all you do. Love you all.
