Well another week is gone! We have been busy running around and doing trade-offs but the week has been good! Monday we spent p-day in Negril with Sav And Negril Elders it was fun we played some football on the beach and ate lunch so it was nice! Tuesday we went on a split i guess is what you would call it. I went with the Mandeville Elders and Elder Ostberg went with Hopeton. We stayed the night there with them and then went to their district meeting with them the next day. The trade off was good had a crazy lesson with a guy finally i had had enough and stood up and said ok listen im going to tell you what we believe. He had been going on for an hour just asking all kinds of questions and he was so confused he was digging himself a hole. We came back wednesday and had some good lessons and then Thursday we had to take a missionary that is from Jamaica to Sav-la-mar he is supposed to go to Florida for his mission but his visa hasn't gone through so he is gonna start in Jamaica. So that was our running around for the week. We have been trying to find new people to teach been trying everything possible so we started going through old teaching records and calling people we have got some contacts from there so thats good! I dont know if i told ya last week but we had met a lady that had never met or seen or heard of the church before so we took a few minutes and explained it to her and taught her about the Restoration in about 7 minutes she was in a hurry. But she then asked how do i get That book you were talking about? Can i buy one? well i had brought one with me so i said nope you cant but i can give it to you! she was so happy! She lives a good ways out of Santa Cruz but she said nothing is too far for the truth. Well we were at another investigators house this week and he said i saw a lady reading the Book of Mormon this week so we asked him about it well it was that same lady and he told her that the missionaries were teaching him and she said thats nice but please im going to read this straight through! He said he watched her and she read like crazy and when she had to leave she said she was going home to read more! Thats awesome!! He said she was going to come to church but she didnt show up i was bummed! But we had a lot of people at church! we had 58+ people so it was packed full! It was Branch conference so that was a good thing! There is a dog that follows a member to church And he always comes in and makes himself at home well after Sacrament Elder Ostberg and I went to tie him up well i was pushing him with my foot well that dang thing whipped around and bite my foot. Not hard but still i was ticked if it wasn't right in the middle of church i would of booted that thing across the room. But we got him tied up eventually and he freaked out and eventually chewed the rope in half. Later that night we went to see some people the people we had planned to see blew us out so we were left blank so we went to a ladies house we had met earlier in the week. Her daughters were there and they had a ton of questions they had heard rumors about the church so she asked if she could ask us if they were true so we agreed. well she says I hear that your vampires.... and she continues on well as she is saying these things im just like yes we are vampires but only 2 days a week she asked if we sacrifice humans and all that just ridiculous we said that it was all false i said there is one thing we sacrifice though her eyes got big and i said just like Jesus said Sacrifice a Broken Heart and a Contrite Spirit! Thats the only thing we sacrifice! But i gotta say it was fun messing with her about all of it! She asked what was the difference between our church and all the others so we said well 2 big ones A Prophet on the earth today and the Book of Mormon. So we taught her about the Book of Mormon and i asked her to read a part of the Introduction. She said are you going to hypnotize me? Said no. she gets done reading so i ask... are you Hypnotized yet??? she said no i said well then read the next paragraph lol! good times. but she is really interested so thats cool! But anyhow Kerry-ann the girl that Elder Brockbank and I taught in kingston got Baptized so thats awesome!! But over all Things are good!! Lovin the work thats for sure! The other day after friday night activity we taught a member the plan of salvation and she is smart and knew alot about it already so we went into depth when we got done i was just like you could of asked me 18 months ago about this i and i would of had no clue.. Crazy what i have learned its awesome!!! any how i love you all!!!
Love Stetson
