Week #87 - Vacation in May Pen

A week with Elder Palmer

Hey Family!

This week was awesome.

I have just spent the last week with Elder Palmer and we had a ton of fun in May Pen. His trainee came Friday morning for some reason. His name is Elder Anderton and he is from Spokanne. He is super cool. Mine doesn't come until tonight, and I'll go pick him up in Kingston tomorrow morning. But we had a blast this week. I think it was God's way of saying "I don't want you two to be companions, but since you keep badgering me about it I will allow it for a short time."

We had to go back to Junction for the weekend for church. We watched the Sunday Morning Session of Conference right after Sacrament Meeting finished and then came right back to May Pen after church was done. Thank you Elder and Sister Ridler!

Prayers go out to anyone who was hit by Hurricane Matthew. I heard it was pretty nasty. I am so grateful that it dodged us because it would have been really bad here.

Love you guys!

Elder Graham

Hurricane prep... we so would have died.

Week #51 - The Fruits of Our Labors

Wagwan Fambily,

Not too much happened this week so I will keep it relatively short.

We picked up Elder McGregor at the bus park Tuesday night. He is actually from Old Harbor so we have a Jamaican in the house now. He is pretty cool.

Lychee

We visited the Williams family who live way the heck out in Grange Hill which is like a 20 minute taxi ride and then another 15 minute walk. They have a TON of fruit trees so they loaded us up with Jamaican apples, star fruit, jellies, and these things called lychee berries which are kind of like guinep on steroids. They are awesome.

On Friday during studies, I heard a call at the front door. It was the Riddlers (a senior couple from Wales) I heard Elder Riddler call in saying, "I come bearing gifts!" (Keep in mind this man is from Wales, just imagine it in your head, it was hilarious!) It was a package from Britt and Adam!  Can we get a WOOT WOOT for sister love?!!

I spoke in church about why we believe in Jesus Christ and I think it went pretty well.

Good week!

Love you all,

Elder Graham
