Transfers / Anguilla!

We have been working so hard to prepare our investigator, Thiami, for May 19th.

Perhaps the word of Wisdom may be a stumbling block for her, but who knows... She has a lot of faith.

We were able to teach a lesson at the boys home again, and we are not allowed to teach doctrine, but we shared the atonement! WOW! What a well received lesson. The counselors there, and the boys felt just some of the power from what the atonement truly is.

We got transfer calls late on Saturday night, and something very unexpected happened!

E. Larson is Going to blank an area in the valley of Grenada! NICE! He will be with an old friend of mine from St. Lucia. I will be LEAVING and serving in Kingsland, Barbados!!

I will be with another friend from St. Lucia BUT an old friend from back home!! E. Grant!!!! We knew each other back in middle school. 

Well, I got to carry that news to my skype call for Mother's day.

That was great! oh it was so good to see the family again! It was my final skype 

I feel I can conquer the mission now. Lets do this!

I am fly to Barbados on Wednesday. Prayers are much appreciated.

Thanks for the love and support!

have a Fantastic week!

Almost At My Last Skype- May 7, 2018

Happy Star Wars day!

Sure cant wait to see the movies when I get home.

We had a lesson with this lady named Annie. She was a ref feral from the other Cole Bay elders, and we somehow found her house. Her house is this very small one-room shock, but it is home. A lot of things were broken, and Elder Larson and I sat on this small bench. We shared a lesson with her, and she found it interesting. We got to know her better, and she began to cry! Just about the most heart-breaking thing to watch. Her family is struggling in Dominica, and she is living a hard life with family dying, money running short, and small problems everywhere. It was difficult to witness her situation. We shared some uplifting scriptures, and gave her hope. That is what the book did. It is giving her hope. We hope to see her progress.

Right after that, we visited Tymme and she was on the phone crying and talking to someone. When We finished, she asked us to say a prayer with her. 

She and another  investigator of ours, Ampy, came to church. Tymme seem to really love it now.

We plan to set a baptismal date this week with her.

We had a fun night this week and it began to rain, but no elder wanted to pass up this opportunity, so we played in the pouring rain! it was a lot of fun. Wish I got pictures.

I sure love and miss you all. The words of encouragement you guys give is very much appreciated.

Love

Friends from Grenada / Stroop Waffles- May 2, 2018

If you have ever seen "the Best Two years' they eat a Dutch pastry called a "Stroop Waffle" they are VERY good! Extremely unhealthy but who cares.

We had a service project painting a house, sanding and staining. It was fun, but all 8 elders got burnt to a crisp!

Our investigator Tymme wanted to come to church again and we know she loved it.

Carnival was crazy this week and thank goodness it is over.

I got word that Sis. P. and her husband Ivan were coming to St. Maarten for a cruise, and She did!

 she brought E. Orme and I and our companions treats! She is awesome! While we talked with them, Many people from the cruise ship recognized us! I felt famous... We had at least 6 different groups say hi to us and tell us that they were members.

When we said our goodbyes to them, we had to walk home through a carnival parade....  it was insane.

I don't know why the still have this tradition.

Well, I love and miss you all! cant wait to see my family soon!

Love,

-Grant
