Week 14

Family,

I'll keep this email short and sweet, mostly because I cant remember that far back; But i will tell you some of the good parts. We were following up on some potential investigators named Kevin, Elder O'hare was making fun of me because I couldn't remember his name and kept on calling him David. Anyways he invited us in and we taught him about the book of mormon and prophets, then his mother in law who wasn't paying attention started tuning in. She turned off the tv and joined in, she started asking question that we answered. We expected to be there 15 minutes tops dropping off a book of mormon and making an appointment. but we ended up spending an hour or so teaching the restoration to their family, when elder o'hare was quoting the first vision she closed her eyes and just felt the spirit. did i mention this is a huge Jamaican family. they invited us back and we caught ourselves about 3 or 4 investigators with this family. Moving on in the highlights we had thanksgiving dinner at a members home in Grays during exchanges (no I didn't take pictures, sorry) but it was a lot of food and i made a few new friends in that family. Then we had stake conference were I was spiritually enlightened by my mission president and his wife, i felt like grandma taking notes from all the other speakers. We invited a less active to it and she came, and by invite I mean elder o'hare spiritually rebuked her for going less active and she brought another one of her less active friends with her and they met up with their old church friends. Anyways it was a fun week of just lifting people up closer to our heavenly father, elder o'hare has taught me quite a lot on how to be more enthusiastic and happy which I obviously had to work on, but i love the mission and am trying to reprogram my brain to strive towards one goal which is BAPTISM! We were supposed to have 3 baptisms this transfer between the two of us but it just wasn't their time but I'm learning to accept the lords time table. sorry for the short letter and hope to write a longer one next time.
