Week #103 - Th-th-th-th-that's All Folks

Hey Fam,

Well, this will probably be the last time I email from Jamaica. 

Boy it has been a wild ride and I have had a blast. I'm so thankful for the time I have been given to be a missionary and I am going to miss it. I have really tried to bust my tail over the course of my whole mission but especially for this last transfer and I know that the Lord is going to bless a lot of people. I have learned how to just roll with any situation or task or challenge that comes my way.

In the words of Ammon to his brethren after their missionary journey, “Yea I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise His name forever.”

I am excited to see everyone again! I guess I will finish this all off with the only thing I have which is of any value: 

I know that Jesus is the Christ, that he suffered, died, was resurrected, and LIVES so that if we choose, we can receive eternal peace and happiness. Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth. We can successfully overcome the storms of life through striving to apply the principles we learn from regular scripture study. 

I stand with the Savior when He says: 
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Love,

Elder Graham

Week #94 - Planning a Rave and a Couple Baptisms

Hey Family! 

I will keep this quick:

Unfortunately Jamaicans do NOT celebrate Thanksgiving...To be honest I didn't even realize it was Thanksgiving this week until the day of... It was sad haha but Christmas should be a blast here. Our bishop said he is planning on emptying the budget on the Christmas dinner party so prepare for a rave. Also, we should have two baptisms on the same day as the party! 

Whitewashing is great. We have made a lot of cool friends. When we tell people we are new to the area, everyone tries to help us out. We are teaching this guy who is friends with some recent converts, and he will literally fix our bicycles for free any time we need. It is awesome. I am not used to having SOOO many members to work with haha so that is a positive change!

We had to stay inside yesterday because of some political elections that were getting heated haha so surprise P-Day is on Tuesday this week! 

Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Graham
