In case you were wondering he did actually get some ice cream from last week. :)
Hello everybody from Jamaica!!!
Hello everybody from Jamaica!!!
Everything here is going great!!! and I
can already tell how excited you all are to read the email this week
just from reading the subject. As you can tell a little bit of
everything has happened this week.
Well to start I'll talk about the
Book of Mormon. A few days ago we had taught a pretty good investigator
his first lesson. He acted really interested, I was pretty excited to
have a potential priesthood investigator (they are hard to come by).
Well the next day he decides to contradict everything the message of the
restoration was teaching and thought he knew what he was talking about.
Well by the end of his argument he was just spinning in circles and was
really confused. He asked me a question which made no sense at all and
he asked me if i understood the question and I looked at him and said,
"Do you understand your question??" he had no answer. Well everything
that we taught had proof in the bible and the Book of Mormon and he was
officially confounded.
Then later in the week another good investigator,
Brother Daley, said that his preacher said that he couldn't meet with
us. We asked him if his preacher had ever asked him to pray about what
he learns to ask God if it is true (The Book of Mormon encourages this
multiple times) and he said no. So we encouraged him to do this. We saw
him last night and had a really good lesson with him. At first before he
had ever heard of the Book of Mormon he asked us to give him something
that he can study to prove to him that our church was true. We both
smiled and pulled out the Book of Mormon. We had a really good lesson
after that. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and it is
true. It is the keystone of our religion and because it is true we have
the Lords Kingdom on Earth today for us to learn and grow from Prophets
of God.
Ok second story, I have officially met Ussain Bolt........'s
cousin. haha I tricked ya. But anyway his cousin lives in Old Harbour.
We were walking back towards our house for the night and stopped and
talked to this little kid. He told us his name and we both looked at
each other and said. The same Bolt as Ussain Bolt. And he said they
were cousins. We asked his mother and she conferred the truth. I got a
picture with him ;)
After that little incidence we saw the Mad Woman
that I was telling Tyler about. She always comes up to Elder Montgomery
and I but she usually tries to give me stuff. Every time we have seen
her she has given me something. One time it was a Mongo, and another
time she tried to give me a bag full of fish. If you say no to her she
starts cussing and yelling at you. Well during our last encounter with
her she came up to me and I'm not exactly sure what she said because I
still am not sure what anybody says but she wanted me to take the piece
of paper that was in a plastic bag and put the information on it on the
computer, she also had a bouquet of Callaloo. Oh yeah she thinks she is
white but she has just been in Jamaica too long so she is black now.
And then she looked at Elder Montgomery and gave him the bouquet of Callaloo. Well to make a long story short we looked at the paper and on
it was written her Name and Number. haha her name was Pinkeeeberry
Gold!!!! With three e's we laughed and laughed and laughed over that.
Then not 30 minutes after we got to the house we were studying and
all of a sudden we heard a bunch of popping noises!!! I start to panic
and Elder Montgomery jumps up and is running covering his head and for
some reason instead of standing up I start to fall down. I think in this
moment of panic why am i falling when I am sitting in my chair. Noises
are coming from every which direction. And then the next thing I know I'm on the ground. Well the back legs of my chair broke and went into
like 5 different pieces and every direction. The popping noise was my
chair giving way. Once we realized the swat team didn't descend on us
all I could do is lay there and laugh. Well that is all for this week I
hope everything is going great for you all. I love you and I love to
hear from you. Don't be afraid to send letters either. Hint Hint Hint
Love Elder Stuart
