Another week in paradise

 So this is like my 3rd time trying to write this email so it may be a little shorter than I was gonna make it because I'm so fed up and about ready to call it quits so bear with me. Also I can't wait to have an IPhone when i get back

Wah gwan y'all. It's been a week for sure. Not too much has happened but there's been a couple of things things that are worth mentioning:

We had exchanges this week with Old Harbor so i got to spend the day with Elded McRae. He's a dope dude and we had lots of fun which Include: blowing up a toilet(hmu for details), taking 2 tries to make pizza because we couldn't get the water ratio down, walking for almost 7 hours straight, talking to lots of school kids that are very intrigued with white people, getting weed bracelets, and watching gospel videos while eating ice cream and brownies. 10/10 recommend. My comp is the district leader so I'll probably have more stories to tell about exchanges this transfer 

We had lots of phone lessons, which kinda suck, but we also had a couple of in person lessons which are a lot better because it's already hard enough to understand what Jamaicans are trying to say, then add in crappy phones and 3rd world country reception and it's a mess. 

We played a lot of monopoly. Before this last week I don't think I've ever finished a full game. But now I've finished like 5 games and I've even won one. It's a ritual now now we play every Sunday night for P-Day eve. 

The music here is starting to grow on me. If y'all have time look up "keep up" by Jashii and "Dela move" by Chronixx. Let me know what y'all think I'm curious. All I know is that I'm excited to lift to that stuff in 23 months. 

Elder Stone has been sick a lot these past couple days so the second half of the week has consisted of lots of naps and playing with Elder Hafens rubix cubes and Kendama. 

Original Monsters are better here than in the states. They're sweeter and I'm kinda sad I've been missing out on these. 

Spiritual thought:
I read in Alma 17&18 this week where it talks about Ammon and King Lamoni. Ammon is kinda a huge inspiration for me. The people in King Lamoni's city weren't very righteous and Instead of yelling at all of them to repent he served and showed them Christlike love. It helps me out here in Jamaica because I can't understand what they're saying about half the time, and maybe it's just me but it's kinda hard to love people if you don't know what the Frick they're saying. I'm striving to be like  Ammon everyday out here. I invite y'all to try to find ways to serve this week. I expect to hear back on what y'all did too.
