Elder Stone Gibbons: Jamaica, Kingston 2016-2018: 25 September 2017 WEEK 66

So we had a very productive, and interesting week! But at the same time it was so fantastic.

To start things off, this week my companion got kissed by a mad women. We were walking home from a lesson at the church and this crazy lady stops to talk to us. And we casually tell her that we need to keep moving, and she shakes all of our hands but begs Elder Evans for a hug. So he goes just in for a side hug and she fully grasps him and starts kissing his neck. I thought she was going to suck the life out of him haha. All I could do was just laugh! He is all good though, just a learning experience.

But this last week we also had zone conference, and it was so good to be able to see the missionaries from our zone that I have been around in my mission. The theme of Zone conference was Joy. How can we find more joy in our missionary work!

We have been working really hard with a couple of our investigators who are preparing for baptism. Patrick is still preparing for the 8th of October. He committed to living the word of wisdom, and he came to church this last week, which was a total blessing. We have also been working with a lady named Cemoya. She knows that what we teach is true, and even more the Book of Mormon to be true. She loves to meet with missionaries, and is very open with us. She was very open about her issues with the Law of Chastity, and everything that she has done. Not going to lie it was very awkward haha, but she trusts us enough to open up to us.

This week on the 23rd was Elder Millers Birthday. Who just so happens to also be my cousin. It was so fun to continue the Jamaican tradition of flouring him. But we wish him a happy Birthday. It is cool to be serving around my cousin, who just so happens to be 5 Days older then me haha.

We were also able to attend Seminary graduation for some of the youth in our branch on Sunday. I still know that attending seminary and institute was and is a blessing.
