Christmas!!!





   I got to do a trade=off with Elder Newman this week in Grenville. I love that area. Though I never have served there. I hope to be able to serve there one day. We had a Grenadian Returned missionary come home. We hope to be able to work with him. The Senior couple (elder and sister Mills went home this week! We dropped them off at the airport and waved good bye! Then we got to take their Brand new Rav 4! :)
The Christmas season here was real busy, but I am glad it is over with. The stores always run out of eggs and milk during the holidays :P
I was really happy to see my family over skype! It has been over 7 months! wow!
Well, Too much to say this week. I took a lot of pics but here is one of me and the "Cummings" family. They are an awesome family!
Hope your Christmas was good too! 
Enjoy the New Year!

AP Trade-off!/ Baptizing/Cooking Crab- December 18, 2017






   We flew to my second home, Barbados! We went on a Ap trade-off with Elders: Hendricks (utah) and Joufrax (france). They were so much fun! We worked our feet off while contacting for 30 hours, but man, It was a fun time being with those missionaries. We had so many fun experiences, and wild things happen, just know it was good. They got me my favorite.... MAPPS! bless their hearts. We drank non-alcoholic wine, and spent the days working and laughing to the fullest.
So many moments where it is just AWESOME to be a missionary!

Elder Orme got to baptize "angel" this week! It was great! Except, He stepped on a SEA URCHIN! During the next day, his foot hurt real bad in sacrament meeting, so we drove him to a clinic. They did a terrible job, but they pulled out a small spine out of his foot. he is getting better now.
We found a large crab behind our apartment, So we caught it, and boiled it! It was my first time, but I made it real nice. It was in a coconut milk soup, and it was real tasty! Even ask elder Orme!
Wow, So many crazy fun things happening. I have really enjoyed this week.
I love and miss you all. I am excited to hear from my family in 7 days. It is gunna be sweet!
Merry Christmas!🎄🏝

December 11, 2017 update- Zone Conference


My responsibilities are ever increasing as the days go on. I now handle petty cash and paying for many bills for the mission.It is hard to remember everything.

Zone Conference was nice this week. The Herringtons flew in again. It is always nice to see them. they taught about our efforts and where to focus them better. We also created new ideas for "finding".
I got to chaperone president and his wife around from place to place and it was fun. They have such a busy month. I am so grateful for them and all that they do.
We did so service for our Land lady. We poer washed part of her driveway and she rewarded us with my favorite kind of mangos! Oh how I love them. 
We also had the branch Christmas party and they had 2 Turkeys! It was so awesome! There were alot of local families there. I am glad I got to taste the turkey.... I miss that stuff. 
Our main investigator "Kendell' is doing much better this week. The senior couple joined in on a lesson and did such a great job with answering  questions and being very open about things. 
I will be flying to Barbados again this week for a few days. I get to do a trade-off with The Assistants to the President. It should be fun. I love those elders.
I ask for your prayers in safe travel. 
Well, i love and miss you all! have a great week!

MLC/ Problems with the Elect


We had another new greeny fly in this week. Elder Graves was sent to Grenville. I took his passport and I am in charge of filing and doing all of the crazy nonsense the senior couple does, so I got him a visa. I feel like I may be able to manage this role now.... Perhaps
There was another MLC Skype this week. President expressed great concern with our finding efforts. He does such a great job as Mission president. I have high respect for him. 
We were stunned when last night we thought we heard gun-shots, but to our surprise, we Found a large and random firework show! It was quite the treat. That doesn't happen too often in the Caribbean. 
One of my "second" moms, Sister P., left with her husband back to the states. i may not see her again in my mission.... :(

Our main investigator :Kendall, Has gotten a hold of anti Mormon material to place doubts in his heart and he is angry with us now. He is in a very rough situation to teach and I feel that we may have to drop him.....
This is the FOURTH person this has effected here in Grenada this WEEK! I only wish we could have an Apostle come here. 
We have President flying in for a Zone Conference this week. I look forward to be speaking with him on this matter. 
I love and miss you all! Have a great week!
