Hey Family!
This week was
pretty normal up until the weekend.
We have been
spending a lot of time at the bottom, bottom, bottom of the hill further than
we usually go and have found some super cool people to teach. A young guy with
a small family, a super humble rasta man and a couple others. Things are going
well with them so far so pray for them to find the means to get up the hill to
church on Sunday!!
We had a
Labor Day clean-up project yesterday which was alright. There were a few people
who showed up and cleaned the heck out of the place. Oh by the way, because of
Labor Day (Memorial Weekend for us, Labor Day for
Jamaica), everything was closed so P Day was moved to today.
Collin and
Kerry-Ann are making final preparations for the wedding on Saturday so that
will be super great. We're in the process of teaching them how to do Family
Home Evenings right now.

So on Saturday we were finishing up a lesson and I got a
call from President Brown telling me that our branch president was being
released Sunday and asked if I would be willing to accept an assignment to serve
as the branch president here in Junction starting the following day. So that
was unexpected. I am not even quite sure all the things that I am supposed to
do yet. As the district president was talking to me about it, he told me it was
going to be a very "on-the-job" learning experience so we will see
how this goes. I'm super nervous and feel pretty inadequate but one thing is
for sure: the Lord gives us a way to fulfil every single commandment He gives.
This falls under that wonderful promise which I will be relying on heavily for
this assignment.
(Mom
story: The day before we got this email from Cody I received a Facebook
message from Omar, one of the great members in Junction. “Mrs. Graham, I have
good news, touching ones.” “Hi Omar! What’s your good news?” “Your son is now
our branch president. Am soooo overwhelming with joy.” What amazing
news to receive from a person of incredible faith – to trust our little 19 year
old punk kid to lead their branch is so humbling. We sure love the people
in Jamaica for loving our boy…)
So pray for
the Junction Branch alright? Much appreciated.
Love you all.
Have an awesome week!
