This week... man I don’t know where to start we were so busy all week long!! On Tuesday morning we woke at 2 so we could make it to Kingston on time for MLC. So that was an adventure and then had an excellent meeting on what the mission is trying to focus on!! MLC meetings are always so spiritual and I really learn so much on what we can be doing to be better and more skilled servants of our Heavenly Father! 

On Wednesday we drove out to this place called New Hope Trelawney... Basically in the middle of the mountains out in nowhere! But it was such a beautiful drive through the hills and the tiny villages throughout! Then we had a lesson after the 2 hour drive! She had been NEEDING a Book of Mormon for a long time! She was very prepared to receive the gospel and wants to be baptized so we are really excited for her even though we won’t be teaching her. We passed her on to some other missionaries that live a little closer! 

On Friday we had Zone Conference. Elder Harrah and I got to prepare the whole meeting which was a cool experience and we feel that it went really well for all the missionaries! On how we can break the barriers or traditions of the mission that hold us back through goal setting and planning!

Then an exchange with the assistants! So it was a great week of learning and application! Thankful for all the tender mercies we have seen this week! 

Oh also we went to a wedding and got to have some Manish water again! Manish water is basically goat head and goat belly soup! It is actually really good!!!! I have had it quite a few times throughout my mission and have to be grateful for when i get to have it again!!
