"Livin in Jamaica watch what it will make ya!"

 I Read a quote the other day that says
 A smooth path might get you there faster, but a rough trail teaches you more. 
You know if that aint the truth.. We had some awesome times though. I had the opportunity to go on a trade off/split with Negril. Elder Conder stayed in Sav la mar. It was really good i learned a bunch from the experience! It was Elder Ngubane who is from south Africa and Elder Engebrect and Elder Mcleod. They had been having a hard time finding a Recent convert and didnt know where she was. Her family wasnt saying anything about it or anything. So i took Elder Mcleod from Sav and we went up there and he had served there already and knows her really good. Well we found her and we had an awesome lesson with her. As we taught her we could tell something was wrong she was just down about something... We encouraged her to come to institute that night. well she showed up talked with the Branch President and that was all we seen of her that night. The next day before we left back to sav we stopped by to see her! Her countenance had changed she was just happy and smiling! She said i feel like a burden has been lifted! She expressed her thanks for us coming and finding her and i was thanking God for the opportunity that we had to help her i was happy! I have had a lot of experiences lately that truly confirm Alma's words Alma 29:9 i know that which the Lord hath commanded me and i glory in it. I do not glory of myself but i glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me yea and this is my glory that perhaps i may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance and this is my JOY!!  As i walked away from that lesson i was so happy that i had that opportunity to be on a trade off in Negril and had the thought to take Elder Mcleod with us so we didnt have to make 2 trips back to Negril it just all played out perfect! And just to reiterate that quote we learn from our mistakes and just keep pushing on and as we do that i have learned that we can make it through anything!! These experiences i have had would never of happened if i wouldnt of came!  Livin in Jamaica watch what it will make ya!  Thanks for all the support from everyone!!! i Love you all!!!
