So much in one week! And it's like it was only a day or two! We've had a really really good week. We got to teach a lot of people and help them to understand more of the doctrine of Christ. We had a really weird experience on Wednesday! We went to a potential appointment and the man we saw opened the door and started laughing! He let us in and we saw why. There were already two Jehovahs Witnesses sitting in his living room. We let them finish their message and when they left the man told us he didn't really want to change because he was at a nice old age of 93. We told him we understood but then he started asking questions about the plan of salvation. We were able to testify of the things we knew and bring the spirit into our teaching. It was a wonderful experience and while the man didn't want another visit he was satisfied with our answer and we knew he could feel the spirit. On Friday we had a great miracle. We went to a potential and she wasn't home. It was POURING rain and we decided we'd tract even though it was raining and it was the middle of the day when no one is usually home. We ended up having a lot of success and we're able to talk to many wonderful people. It was a good experience and it taught me that I've got to work through the hard in order to see the good. I hope all is well with everyone at home.
So sorry it was short, I had run out of time at the library. But we're at the chapel now! Things are going great. Hope you enjoyed those other pictures.
Saturday we got to play a REAL game of football. We went to the park and played it with some random young blokes. The Jamaicans were fantastic at playing! It was awesome and such a work out. We're going to be starting a sports day here just like I did in my last area. It'll help get the people excited about spending time with us ha. And then Saturday night we went to a dinner appointment and parked behind the house. When we came out of the appointment (which was great by the way, you should all check out mormon messages. They're wonderful.) and a huge Range Rover boxed us in!! We were parked next to another car and the Range Rover just parked behind us. We were debating going to knock on their doors and ask them to move it.. But we decided we wanted to avoid that. So we took about 30 minutes reversing and driving forwards. It was intense. We only had a few inches on either side. It was a miracle we actually got out of it! But we made it and I felt very proud of the job ha. On Sunday all the missionaries (4 of us in the ward) got to get up and bear our testimonies in church. It was pretty nice and then the rest of the ward was jumping to get up and testify as well. It was a great fast and testimony meeting and everyone could really feel the spirit. A couple people said there hadn't been a sacrament meeting like that in a long time. --

P.S. I burnt myself on the iron on Tuesday... Not fun.
