Yo!
This
week was great.
We
had a zone 4th of July party in Hopeton on Monday. It was awesome!! We cooked
burgers and had melon and potato salad and all sorts of good stuff. It felt
like we were in America. Right before everyone went home, someone decided that
we should sing the Star Spangled Banner, which was a little awkward considering
the fact that we were a group mixed of American, Jamaican, Canadian, Samoan and
Welsh missionaries haha but I guess
that's how the cookie crumbles. America.
After
that, we went to Santa Cruz for a trade off with the zone leaders, Santa Cruz
is HOT. Almost as hot as Spanish Town. I went with Elder Stevens and we had a
blast.
Wednesday
evening we had two appointments scheduled for the same time in opposite sides
of the area. Lucky for us, seminary had just ended, so Elder Trinnaman took a
kid from seminary and went to one appointment, and I took Omar (the seminary
teacher) and headed to the other. Thank goodness for them. This lady down by
the person we were going to see just ripped into us about how fake and
political Christianity has become and all this jazz, and Omar and I let her do
her thing for a while and then bore testimony that the truth has been restored,
dropped our mics and then headed to the guy. No big deal.

Saturday
was fun - we went to Mandeville for a district auxiliary training meeting. When
we got back, one of the senior missionaries came to Junction and took us around
to some far reaching areas to see some people. He also brought that heavenly birthday
package. Thank you soooooo much!! (Prayers were answered that Customs let the package through –
it was full of requested American candy, “Smarty sweeties” and “Peanut Buttah
Em un Ems”, new shoes, the makings for his favorite birthday cake and good stuff from our awesome Nike connection. We also sent one of Cody’s grandpa’s ties
from the old days – Grandpa is still with him in spirit doing what he loved
most, sharing his testimony of Jesus Christ.)
Transfer
calls came this week. The only thing happening here in Junction is Elder
Trinnaman and I are receiving Elder Simpson from Sav, so now there are three of
us. It's gonna be wild haha, they
almost brought enough to split the areas again, but we are gonna have a great
time.
Hope
your week was awesome!
Love,
Elder
Graham
