Hello Family!
Man it was so good to talk to you all on
Christmas! I wish it could have lasted longer but.. that's okay. I only have
one more phone call. Wow. Time flies.
This week was a pretty rough week. Nobody
really wanted to see us at all because of Christmas but....That's okay. We made
do.
Christmas Eve we were walking around Ochi
trying to talk to people. It was SO crowded! It literally was like being in
Disneyland but 10 times crazier! And the party hadn't even started yet. The
real party doesn't start until midnight... yeah. haha. You can imagine. Lot's
of masquerade people.
On Christmas after I Skyped, we went over to a
member's house, the Llewellyns, to help them Skype their daughter who happens
to be in Cayman! Sister Llewellyn. And I actually got to see some of my Cayman
Family! It was so great! Even if it was just for a few minutes. :)
On Christmas the Hardy's also invited us over
for dinner because our dinner appointment cancelled. Some of the Jamaican
members cooked some dang good food too. So we still got our Christmas
dinner.
Friday was Boxing Day, which is still a huge
holiday in Jamaica. That was a good day as well but still hard to see
people.
Saturday we had our Branch Christmas party...
after Christmas... haha. It was so fun! Except for the fact that the power
happened to be out. Not a surprise. So we ate our food in the dark with cell
phones for flashlights. It was definitely a memorable experience that I will
never forget. We also had a whole heap of investigators come too. That was
great! And then we also had several investigators come to church! Which is a
miracle because they had just used fare to come to the church on Saturday and
still found some to come on Sunday. Lenny, Doreen and Crystal came to church.
Crystal just had her baptismal interview yesterday so she is getting baptized
on Saturday by her dad! It will be amazing! We can't wait!!
That's pretty much all that happened this
week... Sorry. I hope you all had as great of a Christmas as I did. I love you
all so much!
Love,
Sister Mouritsen
