Week 62

Hey everyone!

this week was pretty good. of course youll see one less day cause of the holiday last week. lets begin :)

Tuesday 10-21-14

man today was super good! with it being elder creagers last pday in jamaica we went into Kingston to eat at tracks and records, the usain bolt restaurant. man that place is so cool! i am so going to go there when i get back to jamaica! they even took a photo of all us missionaries and put it up on the website or something. its either there or on there social media page. try and find it! we didnt really get any work done today which blows. someone was too scared to go out in a little sprinkle so me and my other comp just sat outside for an hour so we could say that we did our best. that really pissed me off that we had no lessons for the day. so glad that i can get work done now without having someone being scared of the rain.

Wednesday 10-22-14

it was transfer day. elder creager and beckford left and elder fowkes came in to be with elder newcomb. im with elder hall now and i am "mothering" him. i also got my journal back from santa cruz so that was great too. love the signings that are in there :) we didnt get a whole lot done for the day. but i felt pretty accomplished. the biggest lesson was with alwayne. it kinda sucks that i dont get to teach him now. we just split the areas for real now so i dont get him. at least not until he is a recent convert haha. then i can go up and teach him again. hopefully that will happen soon tho. should be on november 8th that he gets baptized.

Thursday 10-23-14

the lessons that we had were super strange. we almost dropped our investigator shanice today on the 2nd lesson. she just isnt willing to do anything yet. she is giving the same excuse she did like a year ago when missionaries went there. im not gonna have it really. if she wont act now, then im not going there now. yallahs is one place that i do not want to waste my time at. then we also had a lesson with some potential investigators. i guess that they are also related to a member. everyone in st. thomas is somehow haha. the member wants us going back there so we will, but its gonna take quite a bit of work to get them baptized.

Friday 10-24-14

we had an interesting friday haha. we didnt get too much teaching in of course. we mostly just stopped by for quick visits with people. we did get a lot of referrals so thats good. but during friday night activity we noticed that 3 of the bikes were gone. luckily not mine haha. we thought that somebody stole them. but later on, after about 10 minutes of looking around for them, alwayne and daquon rode up on them. man that pissed us off but also had us laughing so hard later haha. then later alwayne ut a cockroach on elder newcomb and he flipped out. i dont think i have ever seen a misisonary that pissed off before. i really thought that alwayne was gonna have a funeral before a baptism haha. thats about it for the day haha

Saturday 10-25-14

this area of yallahs is a little bit tougher than the other area. we dont have a lot of investigators so finding is something that is more of a focus. the day was pretty good nonetheless tho. we didnt have a lot of appointments but things are looking up i would say. things are looking good on the other side of yallahs so pretty soon they should be getting super good over on this side.

Sunday 10-26-14

happy birthday bro! should done that last week but forgot to haha. we didnt have the turnout at church like last week but we still had like 25 or 30 people who came so not too bad. i am back to teaching youth again. dont worry, its not young womens again haha :) its the young men. hopefully soon there can be a young mens president tho. it would be good to give a real member that calling. i love teaching youth, but members need to do it first haha. today just blew out for appointments tho. everything but a recent convert lesson blew out. this next week i think we'll really be doing some finding so it should change here soon.

Thats really it for the week. nothing really too eventful after tracks and records haha. cant wait till next week tho. :)

Love,
Elder Kurt Meacham
