 GOOD MORNING BIRTHDAY BOY! Wha Gwon?

"nuttin na gwon at all me a jus sit pon di chair everytin crisp zeen!!"

Well another week is gone! Crazy This week was a really good week thats for sure! We had 2 Baptisms Woot woot so that was awesome!!! Ann-marie and sister watson got baptized saturday night. Boulevard elders also had one so 3 people were baptized that night. i got to do their baptism interview for them. its a cool thing to do and for that kid only bein 13 he is as sharp as uncle robs knife i cut my finger on that night in ridleys parking lot! and then on sunday we went to Boulevards sacrament meeting which is at 9 in the same building we go to. we had to go there to confirm ann-marie and sister watson i got to confirm sister watson also so my first confirmation it was way cool! i was nervous but once i started it went good!! Then last night we went to the Flakes for our normal Sunday night stop and as we are leaving i got floured by Poulsen. Its something Jamaicans do on peoples birthdays. 

 i thought i was gonna make it 2 years without gettin floured but i guess not lol. i really dont know what made this week so good maybe it was just the weekend part but it seemed like there was more but i cant remember anything! When we were at Boulevard branch sister dill walks up the stairs and she has a cake looking thing in her hand well she hands it to me and says happy birthday so when we went home in between churches i opened it and looked and it was a legit cake with sprinkles and M&Ms on it. she spoiled me thats for sure. Well then i woke up this morning and i felt like i had been hit by a truck and i thought why in the world am i so sore?? then i remembered old age is kickin in lol so i got up and poulsen was in the kitchen doing something so i walk in and he has a bunch of candles on the cake and says just thought you would like to blow some candles out for your birthday so i blew them out and he videoed it and he was all what the crap... Then says in to the camera, Lauren the candles didnt work lol Lauren sent him some trick candles to try and get me once again this year but for some reason the candles didnt relight. so he was like thats no fun. so we made one up. he changes his alarm clock to 5:52 and then i jumped in bed. i was all sprawled out on my bed and he comes in with the cake and was all hey Get up!  i was all suprised that i had a cake and then i blew out the candles and they kept relighting. so it was a funny morning this morning. but anyways this week has been good!!!

"everything is going good for us right now"

Well what a week!!! Lets see what i can rememeber from the week.... Well we will start with people with Baptism dates... we have Sis. Watson and her daughter Ann-marie who will be getting baptized this coming saturday but there is a catch... Saturday they moved out of our area. they moved into the Boulevards elders area so now she is going to be baptized into that branch which is kinda a bummer cuz we have been teaching her for well ever since i have been in Kingston and now right before they get baptized they move. but oh well at least they are getting baptized. We then have Sandra Parks she is a members wife and last night she accepted to be baptized on October 9th so thats cool she has been doing awesome she has been reading the Book of Mormon like crazy she'll call us and just say whats it mean here and we will explain it and she just loves it so she is doing awesome! Blossum is also doing good she just didnt come to church on sunday which was a bummer and Junior didnt come either he is awesome but i have no clue why he wasnt at church. but everything is going good for us right now... Well now some crazy stories this week we were heading to Yallahs to do a baptism interview and we had Elder Snelson and Weldon in the truck with us Poulsen was driving. well we are pulling up to a stop light and i see a guy running and a girl not to far behind running also. well i just thought they must be trying to catch the bus (they had school uniforms on) well NO thats not what was happening Poulsen starts to like turn around in the middle of the road so i was all what you doing he said that guy stole that girls bag. well there was already like 3 other cars turning around to go help so  we just stayed in line. well they caught up to the kid. well from what we could see anyways but right when he told me that i was ready to bail out and go chase the kid down but it was to late... then later in the week friday i think we go to see an investigator named Karen well she lives in a yard with about 4 other houses and they are all family well we knock on her door and we see Alley and some other guys up at the other house well all the sudden things start to get western all kinds of yelling and crazyness well alley walks out the gate pissed and he is still yelling then this big guy that i had never seen before comes by the gate well we are just sittin there right in the middle of it and then BOOM a rock flies into the gate from alley throwing it well the big guy runs over grabs a cinder block and slams it on the ground and then grabs all the pieces well he is going to get alley but then a little squirmy guy that reminds me of skinny is holding this guy back or trying to well he is doing his best just as skinny would with dad or something well everything calms down except for the yelling lol Mark comes out and was all man you guys are right in the middle of the war zone lol so that was crazy. anyways i cant really remember anything else thats horrible. but everything is going good here. crazy that september is almost over with. seems hard to believe but any ways i love you all!!! Stetson 

PS tell skinny to be scoutin out a nice 5 point for me this year so that next year he will be a big one and we can go kill it! tell him i miss him and i cant wait for next year huntin season its gonna come fast 

"look at this i have goose bumps man hahaha!"

(Pic of Alfred...the one that yells MY LORDS lol)

Well this week was awesome!!!! We had some really good days this week!! I cant remember all of them but i can remember about 2 or 3 days ago lol!! Saturday was a crazy day we had some pretty crazy stuff happen! first thing crazy was we were in an area called casava peace well we went to see an investigator who wasn't there so we headed back to our truck we were about 40 yards from our truck when a little truck pulls up and 3 or 4 guys jump out and run up this drive way to this house well when we can see whats going on we see a lady on the ground and she is screaming and a guy is pretty much beating her up so i was thinking what are we gonna do??? people were running from everywhere to see what was going on well we see a cop truck come pulling around the corner about a hundred yards away so i wait till he gets closer and i pull out. my thought was to get him to slow down so that they would see all that and stop. well they drive by the house i was like no way... all the sudden the truck slams on its brakes 4 cops bust out guns drawn running up to save this poor lady!!! So thats crazy story number 1!!!
Now number 2..... after that we went and saw Shamala she is 13 we get to her house and her mom was just leaving so we all get chairs and sit outside and we are teaching her everything is going good we have her friend in on the lesson to well towards the end Shamala starts acting funny like she was getting sick or something she kept putting her head down and we would ask her something and she would struggle to answer well all the sudden she jumps up immediately in tears just balling well we can hear her in the house like heaving trying to breath so her friend goes in and then comes out so we get up and run in the house trying to figure out what to do well she is on the floor suckin for air so we call her mom to see if she has athesma or what but she said no. well she gets up and sits on the bed and then after a minute she is fine again.... it was so scary. i had no clue what to do. but she is fine!!! Anyways things calmed down after that... for a while anyways well later on that day we were at a less actives ladies house dropping some Book of Mormons off at her house we were supposed to read with them but we had to get up to red hills and we were already late well on our way out of the lane we pass a couple guys and we are a good 10 or so yards past and i hear no they arent Jehovah's Witnesses so i thought ahh just ignore them. well then i thought no tell them What church you are from. so i turn and im still walking away. i point to one of them and say he is right we arent J.W's. well he asks then where are you from?? so i tell him and he walks toward us we start talking to him and he is all im really interested to learn more. so we run to our truck and get a pamphlet to leave with him and all. and when we get back he says ok so what makes your church so different from everyone elses?? so Poulsen tells him all kinds of things then i thought Prophets so i said Junior if Moses was on the earth would you listen to what he had to say???? he laughed and said well ya. so i say well thats our message.... and explained it. it was one of the coolest experiences ever when we walked away i looked at elder poulsen and said it was funny!!! and all that happened on saturday!!!
 

(pics from port royal)

well on sunday we had 5 people at church wo wo that made me happy we havent had to many there the last couple weeks and its been a bummer but this week was awesome!!! but everything is going good we got BRAND NEW FORD RANGERS so thats what we are driving now. so thats pretty cool elder poulsen me and Baird got to drive them off the show room floor that was pretty cool. that was a fun day we were all in seperate trucks heading to the office .well i dont know the way coming from that way so i was in the middle of the pack. well poulsen ends up in front and has 2 guys jump in the back of his truck at a red light. then baird has a guy on a bike holding on getting a tow. and then he ends up holding on to the one im driving. well eventually we get back in our normal line up then baird who was in front gets pulled over at a stop light for not wearing his seat belt so now im in front lost and poulsen gets stopped at a red light but miraculously i made it back to the office. lol it was so funny!!! any ways this is way long so im gonna wrap it up just know everything is going good here!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL STETSON

(Nice boat huh??)
PS. hey i need your enchillada recipe granny

"NO one steals my scripture case and tries to run off with it"

well if you think this looks bad you should see the other guy he is about twice as bad.....NO one steals my scripture case and tries to run off with it.... the story.... well we were walking to a lesson and a guy asked whats in the box??? money? i said no scriptures! well.. we get to our appointment and there he comes walking up and my box is on the ground well im talking then next thing i know he grabs it and takes off with it so i chase him down jump on his back and tackle him..

Man if coach woulda put me in 4th quarter...

 anyways he swung and clocked me in the mouth and tried to run off again so i grabbed his shirt pulled him in and decked him in the nose and he staggered so i hit him again and he was down ... then i said give me my box and he wouldn't so i kicked him in the ribs. well when i did my foot hit a rock so it jammed my toe really bad but i got my scriptures back!!!

picture of me icing my lip and my foot at the same time during my studies!!!

...hahahaha that was a pretty good made up story huh??? well this week was pretty good

besides the fact that i have an ingrown toenail that i have had for a week and then on thursday i woke up with a swollen lip. didnt think anything of it.  i just told people poulsen hit me in his sleep. then on friday i woke up at about 1:30 am and it was the size of texas. i guess i had an allergic reaction to something but i dont know what from.. so i iced it all through super planning and by the time it was time to go it had went down most of the way so thats good. Thursday we had zone leader council which is one of the best parts of being a zone leader mainly because we get to talk about all the missionaries and plus learn from president hendricks also so its awesome! we also got transfer calls for this coming week me and poulsen are staying together again woohoo that made me happy. our whole zone is pretty much staying the same besides the office. it is getting a new office elder and thats the only change! ummm lets see here what else... we have got a lot of really good investigators right now seems like a lot of them are pretty well rooted in if the would just come to church.. we have blossum who wasnt able to come to church yesterday darn it and we also are teaching a members wife who is way cool we have seen her twice this week and both times have been awesome she lives way out by the airport which is quite a drive from where we live but she is worth it! then we have a girl name shamala she is 13 her aunt and uncle are members and she spends most weekends with them she was begging us to just baptize her but we told her we have to teach you everything first and her mom was happy when she heard that and then we just have some others that are doing good also! we have been ridin dirty in our truck lol our registration is expired our fitness test is expired and we are missing a tail light and a blinker we are supposed to be getting new trucks tomorrow so they didnt want to renew everything for that reason. so we have been dodging all the cops lol but thats about all that i can remember from the week! it sure has been good and everything is going good here in Kingston!!!

Well i love you all! Stetson

"Everything is fine fine fine through the sunshine and the rain!!!"

Everything is fine fine fine through the sunshine and the rain!!!

Well another week is over with this week seemed to go by pretty slow but now looking back it seems to be a flash. We have had some really good things happen this week! Lets start first with.... Blossum.. We have been teaching Blossum who is really active in her other church but she has come to church one time and she loved it. Well we had a baptism date for her on the 28th but that fell through so we had planned to give her another for the 11th of september. So we were at her house teaching her The Gospel of Jesus Christ and we were going through it principle by principle and we were on the Holy Ghost something seemed to be bothering her or something she just seemed antsy so we stopped and Poulsen must have noticed it as well cuz he asked do you have any questions or concerns about anything we have taught? she paused and then looked up and down and said when is the next baptism? i know that these things are true and it is as if someone is telling me that its what i need to do! She started crying and i mean crying almost to a sob she was just so sad about having to give up her other church and she doesn't think she can just up and leave it like that. it was a really spiritual lesson and now we just have to help her understand that there is only one true church! Ok next on the list would be..... oh i got to do my very first baptism interview this week! that was pretty exciting Edler Dale and Hoffman had a baptism saturday night and i got to interview her for it. i was so dang nervous but it wasn't bad at all!! On saturday we went and helped our Neighbor Mark.. he raises chickens and it was time to kill some so he wanted help so we went and helped him clean them. talk about a pain in the butt that is a job and a half. he would cut there heads off and then they would hang up side down for a bit then he would dip them in Hot water and then he would give them to us to pluck all the feathers off.

 it took almost 2 hours for me to clean 2 chickens. shoot if ducks were that much of a hasel. i wouldnt hunt them. that was R..I...D...icoulous thats for sure! ummm well thats about all that i can remember about the week but everything is going good. hard to believe i have been here almost a whole transfer already. we should be getting transfer calls later this week or early next week transfers will be next wednesday i hope i stay here with Poulsen im really enjoying serving with him! anyways i love you all have a good week!!!

LOVE STETSON

 pixy is gonna be mad. atleast sister moodies dog dont bark and growl at me all the time!!

"its just a 5,000 dollar ticket"

well another week is gone and what a good one it has been! so funny story i got pulled over this week ha ha its just a 5,000 dollar ticket though!

we were on our way to district meeting and i was driving its a 4 lane high way 2 lanes going each way. well i was passing a car and it honked at me. i was like whatever car im not even close to you. well i look on the other side of the road and a bus is flashing its lights. AKA slow down cop ahead. well thats why the car was honking at me trying to tell me to slow down but it was all to late. the cop walked out into the road put his hand up and told me to go to the side. he took my licence and all dissappeared into the bushes where his car was and wrote me a ticket. whats weird is he gave me the choice to sign it or not and said i didnt have to so i didnt. i guess we cant pay them anyways cuz we dont have a TRN number so it will make a good journal entry lol. another funny story.. we were sitting at the stop light and there was a little girl probably about 4 or 5

 and she was a chunky little butter bean she was selling ginup well i thought it was funny so i got my camera and took a picture trying to be all sneaky and all well my flash went off so i totally got busted evryone turned and looked at our truck then the light turned green Poulsen stalled for a minute till the cars cleared and then flew past all of them haha it was funny!!! we have also been seeing Alfred alot in just random places on his bike (he is the one that throws his arms in the air and yell MY LORDS then honor honor) he pretty much worships the ground we walk on :) it makes the day seeing him he just yells so loud and its just funny!!! this week has just been crammed full of funny things its been hilarious! our AC in our truck is broke so we have been baking in the truck.

also this week we had a area president here Elder Vinas. He is doing a mission tour so we had a zone conference on saturday it was awesome. he is a super nice guy, we have also had a couple awesome lessons with steve. he is so cool solid as a rock to. we shoulda been having another baptism this coming sunday but Blossum didnt come to church sunday so we had to postpone it so that suck but she will eventually be baptized she said she walked to her church yesterday and she said that it just didnt feel right the whole time she said she was thinking about our church and about everything she has learned so thats good so maybe next week she will be baptized but everything is going super good here im lovin Kingston. i have no idea what we are gonna do today randle and his comp are staying with us they came in for zone confernce so im not sure yet. anyways i better get going im short on time. i love you all!!!! have a good week!!!!!

LOVE STETSON

"another week gone and over with"

Well here it is another week gone and over with! what a busy and good week it has been. seems like all week we have been busy trying to get steve prepared for baptism we seen him every night and everything went awesome i dont think i will ever teach some one like that again just some one so prepared or so excepting to everything we taught. it has been awesome teaching him! Steve was baptized on sunday morning so everything went good! saturday night we had to go to the church to fill up the font so we cleaned it out first and then we were just waiting for it to fill up so we played a game of horse. using a box juice which is like a box milk carton and we used the trash can we got pretty creative it was a ton of fun i had Poulsen beat but some how he came back and won dang it. Elder Poulsen is awesome i am having a blast serving with him! i cant really think of what else happened this week. i know i went on a trade off with Elder Gurr he is a brand new missionary been out 2 weeks about we walked like crazy shot all the way from one side of there area to the other my feet were pretty sore at the end of the day shoot i cant remember anything else that has happened this week thats bad lol love Stetson

(Seth Phillips told Stetson before he left to get Usain Bolts autograph for him)

hey Tell Seth that this isn't his autograph. But Im still working on getting that for him. But this was accidentally put in our mail box so i thought i would take a picture and send it to him! 

"3 people with baptism dates"

(zone conference and yes thats the mission president on the floor lol)

Well good morning all! i will jump right on into the week i guess and see what i can remember from it! ok well tuesday what happened tuesday shoot i dont remember lol but i know what happened wednesday lol we had ZLC or zone leader conference where all the zone leaders get together and talk about stuff about the mission and each of their zones and goals and all kinds of stuff it was at presidents house. after it was over i went to the back room and found the box with my cowboy boots and some other things in it that i couldnt take to cayman with me because of the lack of room. i got it back it was good to slip on my boots and walk around the house. now they are used for my book holders on my desk haha..

The rest of the week went really well we have 3 people with baptism dates 2 for next saturday. Ten-a and Steve. steve has totally come prepared and everythiing we teach he just loves and he knows that its true so thats awesome. he had a wonderful experience at church sunday also so that was good! lets see what else. There is a guy here that always sits on a corner near our house and everytime we drive by we honk and he throws his hands in the air and yell MY LORDS then he crosses his arms over his chest to make an X and then says honor honor it is the funniest thing ever! oh yes also ummm thursday to celebrate my one year mark we went to Lil tokyo to eat dinner and when we left it had been pouring rain the whole time we were in there which was like 45 minutes well the roads had rivers running down them there was so much water traffic was horrible it pretty much ruined the night we ran to boulevard to get the missionaries there so they didnt have to walk in the rain it was crazy lightning and thunder and all. the most i have ever seen it rain!! Well i dont know what else happened this week i got my guitar back so thats good ummm well i will send this and see if i can think of anything else!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL stetson

"Cayman just seems like a dream"

Well hello from Jamaica!!!! wow it dosent even seem like i left here. Cayman just seems like a dream. it seems like i went there once. but it just seems like a long time ago.. anyhow the plane ride back was so bumpy we were in the clouds the whole time it was not the best but we made it safely.. once i got back i went straight to meet up with Elder Poulsen and Martinez. we pretty much just ran around the rest of the night went and got ice cream and that was pretty much it. well the next day was transfers so we went to Yallahs and picked up the 2 there and then headed to Spanish Town. lots of new missionaries came in 7 i think total. 3 are being trained in the kingston zone so thats pretty cool. once we got back to kingston and took the missionaires to yallahs again we got back home at like 7 so we went out and seen a few people. then the next day ummm i dont relly know what happened the next day lol saturday we went to district confernce in spanish town driving here is nuts you pretty much cn do what ever you want and you gotta watch out for the other guy doing what he wants.. we have a truck here so thats nice. the roads are horrible. then on sunday we went back to spanish town for another part of district conference i got to see a bunch of people from Linstead that was way cool.. i got to see Naketa and the richards and joys daughter that got baptized after i left and a whole bunch of other people.. so that was way cool... ummm i cant fall asleep at night its so hot i got spoiled in cayman with the ac so know i just lay there forever. and our shower is freezing cold but it has tons of pressure so thats nice. other than that nothing has really happened we have met a guy that is from the states and he is here with a member and we had a dinner there after we ate she told us to stay and talk to her friend steve so we did well he wanted to know his purposee in life and we said well we have that answer for you. and from there on he has loved every bit of it he says this is the reason he came to Jamaica so he is way cool... this morning we woke up to a flat tire on our truck so the office elders came and got us and then we went to get iot fixed but everything is closed today for a holiday so we couldnt get it fixed so we are currently driving the mission bus around hahaha its pretty fun to drive. i feel like a taxi man we went and played ultimate frisbee at the park and now here i am at the mission office emailing so that has been my week. i didnt want to come back to jamaica but im enjoying it so far Elder Poulsen is way cool and that makes everything awesome so ya anyways i love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
