How is everybody doing this week? It sounds like everybody is way
too excited to see me haha just teasing i believe that I probably am the
most excited. :) Well this week for me has been really exciting and
awesome and soooo cool!! Haha. Not literally
cool but used as a form of emotion.
First story:
My companion is soooo gullible haha and is really fun to tease :).
So this week we got a lot of new kitchen and household appliances for Christmas. Well the office elders brought us a blender and a griddle and
a washing machine. So we have it all there
and after the office elders left we examine the washing machine and
start trying to figure out a way to hook it up. Well I end up saying in a
joking manner that i don't even want the washing machine any more and
that we should just have the office elders come
and pick it up. I was totally joking but Elder Mathewson thought i was
serious. So Elder Howard and Elder Groesbeck pick up the sarcasm in my
voice and then we all started acting like we don't want the machine
anymore. So i make a fake phone call to the office
elders and tell them to come pick up the machine. By this time Elder
Mathewson is so upset. He check the phone to see if i really called and
see's that i didn't. Well Elder Howard and Elder Groesbeck keeps it
going some how and he still believes us right up
until the time that he calls the office elders and asks them about it
and he does and we are all laughing really hard. Instead of being mad at
us he was more relieved about not losing the washing machine. Well the
next day we get the washing machine hooked
up and turn it on and get this..... Water is flooding the kitchen. The
machine was broken underneath insomuch that water was running
everywhere!! Say good bye to the washing machine!! Karma...
Second Story:
We had a branch party this week for Christmas. It was really fun.
We had members bring a bunch of friends. One member friend we had been
teaching came and his mother was invited by a completely different
member so we had a mother and a son there. We had
never met his mom before and they both from two different sources showed
up to the party. We also had another member bring a friend who came up
to me and said ," I have been trying to talk to you all night, How do i
become a member of this church?" I was so
excited. We are seeing her this Thursday.
Third Story:
The Christmas devotional was incredible. It was held in Spanish
Town. My companion sang a solo and i was in charge of teaching short
mini restoration lessons at an information booth. There were 776 people
who came to the devotional and over a thousand
watch it over the broadcast!!! The theme for the devotional was "We
Believe in Christ" and the story of the program was when Christ visited
the nephites. I was really stressed out because last minute for Yallahs
the bus man called and said his bus was broken
down but he had a friend coming to pick everyone up. Well Yallahs was a
little late but miraculously when they all came they all got seats in
the main part. I will tell you what when i saw them get off the bus my
soul leaped for joy and what added more to that
was how many people came. Just for our little branch we had 10 less
active members 6 nonmembers and 12 active members come. I was so happy.
After the devotional everybody loved it. Also I was able to see all my
Old Harbour family. I haven't seen them in over
a year!! I saw sister Phillips, Atanya and Jeromey, and sister Dennis,
and many more.
Forth Story:
Today while i was in Morant Bay we stopped to eat. Well at the
restaurant somebody taps me on the shoulder and says, " Hey do you
remember me?". It was a former investigator named Kizzy from cayman!! We
stopped teaching her because she moved back to Jamaica!!
What in the world is happening?! I was so excited I took her number so
we can call her. She actually lives in our area too!! What a blessing!!
Well that is all for the Christmas miracles. I Love you all and hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!!
Love Elder Stuart
