One experience: We just arrived and started to contact some nice looking homes, and on our first house, we got yelled at and rejected then the door slammed. We went on to the next house, then another until we got stopped. The guy from the fisrt house came back to us in the street and apologized for his behavior. It was a very heart warming experience. He told us that he expects everyone our age to be just like the crazy kids that are always in the news (like school shootings). He told us that he was sorry the way he acted because he felt as if he shouldn't have yelled at us or discouraged us cause he knows we are doing: "A Good Service". He recognized that not all people in the world do evil things. We had a great conversation with this man, and he eventually accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon. He is eager to hear our message this week.
We welcomed a new senior couple to the island this week! Elder & Sister Boggs are the new addition to ST. Lucia.
They are from Pennsylvania and they truly love the Lord.
They have now inherited most of our responsibilities and it is awesome! We have time to do things now!
Elder And Sister Fielden here, took them and E. Schmidt and I to "Spice of India" It is a nice restaurant here and we ate some nice Indian food. SO good!
Yesterday, We just happened to meet a couple of tourist from the cruise ship that attended church. One of them was a recent mission president in India, Pakastan, and Bangladesh. Super cool to meet him! It is awesome. We meet so many people from all over the world.
I love and miss you all.
Enjoy the week!
-Elder Jacobson
