Another week

Mon, Sep 19, 2011
Well, we had another good week back in Jamaica. Spanish Town is really good. There was already 2 branches here and 2 sets of missionaries. We got assigned to Branch 1 which is smaller and needs some work. Right now we are sharing the area with the other set of missionaries that were here before us. There wasn't much happening here before so we're working on getting things going. If you want to look it up the church is on the Brunswick, set back from the road a little with a big open field next to it. For the moment Elder Worley and I are staying with the zone leaders who cover Branch 2 because there's not enough room in the other house. We're waiting for the last tenants to move out. We don't know how long that's going to take. Till then we're sleeping on a mattress on the floor living out of our suitcase. We're staying a place called Whitewater if google earth will find it. it's not in our area at all though. The Spanish Town Bypass road is the boundary between the two branches. our area is to the north and east of the bypass road. I don't really know much road names because they aren't labeled. we just know the area names like Tawes Pen, Ellerslie Pen, Irish Pen, Ensom Acres, Ensom City, Eltham View, Angels,ect.... We're still walking for now because someone still has my bike since when I went to Nassau. Hopefully I'll get it back soon.

Things have gone good this week. We've spent a lot of time finding because when we got here there wasn't anything to work with. we're starting to get some of the members involved and we've started to teach some part member families. Things look promising. Hopefully this next week we'll really start to see some things start happening. My companion is new but is doing awesome.

This morning we had a little fun at the church. the Humanitarian couple brought 7 pallets of hygiene and newborn kits that we unloaded and stored in the basement at the church. I thought about pulling out one of the newborn kits for Alan Jr.

Well, love you lots.
