Zone Conference / Car Trouble

E. Schmidt and I Prepared for Zone conference and we did a great job I thought.

We lead a short discussion. I learned more about fasting and the power that has. I plan to do more of it this week. Cause I really need it.

We drove President Herrington and his wife around a lot. and on the last day, we had to get up real early to take them to the airport.... but We had a flat tire! So, I got that changed quicker than a Formula 1 Car does.. (LOL) and when kept driving and we got another one!!!!! NO! So, They had to take a taxi instead and we were left in a big mess. When we finally got the car to the  shop, I felt like a mess. Everything got better when one of the mangers there gave us some free hats cause we tried asking for some. So, that made the day. 

I got sick this week and sneezed about a million times. 

Our main investigators are Jessica and Sarah. We are finding their lesson to be powerful and well received. Nigel didn't come to church. We plan on dropping him this week. You cant get baptized even if you do everything and NOT come to church. I KNOW....  and so testify this gospel is true despite the recent struggles.

I love my mission and I am grateful for the trial I have learned so much from. I love the scriptures. My invitation to everyone is to READ them!

I love and miss you all so very much. Have a fantastic week!

FLY - IN M.L.C. in Barbados

The week was busy and fun.

We flew from St. Lucia to Barbados for a big Mission Leadership Counsel. I got to see old friends, and meet new elders.

We stayed din a hotel and our room was pretty decent. It was paradise compared to our apartment.

The MLC meeting took ALL-DAY but it goes by fast. I love it. I would do it any day. E. Schmidt and I lead a 30 min. discussion. We shared about "Trust" from the members and how to work with them. It was successful.

After the main portion, Every ZL, STL, and AP drove to "Gun-Slinger Hill". Barbados was just recently dedicated by E. Renlund just 2 weeks earlier here. The ground felt Hollow and peaceful. I do not lie. It was an INCREDIBLE experience. 

We stayed 3 days,2 night s in Barbados then flew back to Lucia safely. Thank you for your prayers.

We visited the Hindu doctor again this week. He invited us on a  walk with family before hand. It was So  fun! There we are, 2 whites guys in a shirt and tie, walking through the bush with this Hindu family of 5.

Nigel didnt come to church, but Sarah and Jessica did! Oh it was wonderful! Everyone one in the branch met them. They are so kind.

President Herrigton fly back to St. Lucia again tonight, and we are gunna pick him up. Zone Conference is tomorrow and it should be fun!

Love and miss you all!
