We've had a really good, busy week this last week. We've been working really hard to find some good people to teach. We've made some good progress this week. We're advertising for an open forum this weekend where the public can come and ask questions and be part of a discussion about our beliefs and such. We're really excited for it. We'll see how it goes. In advertising for it we've been able to find a few people who are genuinely interested already. Church yesterday was good. We finally had a few investigators at church. Things are starting to pick up again. I love you all lots. have a great week.

We've had another good week here in Ochi. Things are going well for us here. We've finally started to see some good progress with a few of the less-actives that we've been working with. We're still struggling with our investigators. We don't have any right now that are really ready to change, so we're trying a number of things to find some new investigators. Besides all that, things are going well. We had good church meetings yesterday. I got to teach gospel doctrine which was fun. So, have a great week. Love you Lots!

Hey Fam,

 

It was so good to see you all. I'm glad the internet worked well. I appreciate all the good encouragements. I'm definitely working hard right to the end of my mission. Things are going well for us here. This week we had a really good opportunity to spend some time with some of the elders in our zone. It was a companionship that has been really struggling this whole transfer. We went on a 2 day trade-off with them and worked with them on a few things. It really helped them out a lot which has been really good to see. Unfortunately we weren't able to see the same improvement with our investigators this week. We have several investigators that we've been working a lot with the last few weeks but it seems like none of them are really ready to make a real change. It's been a little frustrating at times but humbling at the same time, which has been good for me. I'm continuing to learn a lot and I'm looking forward to what I can still learn in the few weeks I have left. 

Happy Mother's Day once again! Thanks for all you do. Love you lots!

Well, I'm assuming you didn't get my email last week since I got on my email today and found out that all the emails I sent last week didn't go through. Anyway, This week was good. It was a bit slow since as far as missionary work in our area, but it was still good. Wednesday we spent the day in Port Antonio with the elders there and Thursday we were in Kingston. We also got tons of rain this week which always makes missionary work interesting. It's been good though, we have some good people we are working with. The best news of the week came today when I talked to the elders from Linstead and they told me that Vaughn, who I helped get baptized when I was there, received the Melchezidek Priesthood and is engaged to be married in the Salt Lake Temple.

Today we had a zone p-day with The North Coast Zone and Spanish Town Zone. Everyone came here to Ochi and we went to the beach. We borrowed a grill and had a big cook out and played some beach football. It was a lot of fun, but I am really sun-burned right now.

  

Talk to you soon! Have a great week.

 

Love you Lots!
