11 September 2017 WEEK 64

Sunday, Sep. 10 was the official start of our new study program. I am going to enjoy reading and pondering the many attributes and roles of our Savior over the next 7 months. He is everything. The better we can know him, understand his role, and love him, the better off we will be.

So I am officially back in the land of Jamaica. I just received my new companion and trainee Elder Evans. He is from Lewiston Utah. Right on the border of Utah and Idaho. But he is just a ball of fire 🔥 We get a long very well and I am grateful for this opportunity to help him become the best missionary he can be. But I am currently serving in a big part of Jamaica called Mandeville. This is where the church was first established on this island. They have a nickname for this place, cool cool mandeville. And they are not wrong. The weather is relatively cool, so I can't complain.

We have been working with a man named Patrick! We have had two really solid lessons with him and he is on date for the 8th of October. He has a hard time remembering things so we have to repeat it multiple times for it to click haha. But he is such a sweetheart and overall is amazing.

We met with a lady named Michelle this last week too. We had the sisters show us around a little bit, and they introduced us to her. We had a bomb plan of salvation lesson with her and she began to weep as the spirit was so strong. Even in her prayer she said that she felt like this is the true church.

Other than that I am living in a 4 man house with 6 Elders and it is a blast. They are all just so funny and so easy to get along with. We have been able to bond in so many ways that we have all become so close.

Hope you all have a fantastic week, and be safe out there!

Love Elder Gibbons
