Beautiful

 Wah ya dayah pon me generals. It's been a week for sure. It's probably been the shortest and longest week of my life. It's also definitely been the most fulfilling. We've met so many people that have so much potential this week It's not even funny. Our teaching pool just keeps on getting better and better. More motivation to keep working hard comes along with it. Everybody, including me, has been quite slothful with getting up and out of bed in the mornings, and I think that waking up and actually getting out of bed at 6:30 has definitely been a reason on why we've been doing so good this week. The Lord loves obedient servants!

Ms. Dixon is getting baptized this week! She was able to come to a baptism this last Saturday that the other Elders in Portmore had, and it was a really good experience for sure. The spirit was so strong and it was amazing. Me and Elder Stone had to give a little Restoration lesson during it, and that was crazy amazing. I had memorized Joseph's own words for the first vision so I could say it during the lesson, and the spirit was just that much stronger when I was able to recite it with the power of the Spirit. Ms Dixon also brought her husband to church yesterday and it was probably the best week for him to come. We had fast and testimony meeting and a fire Elders Quorum lesson which let the spirit in so easily and powerfully. Keep Mr Dixon in your prayers that he may realize the truthfulness of the message we share so he'll have a desire to be baptized!!

Miracle of the week:
Like I've mentioned previously, Elder Stone and I have a truck now, which makes it super easy to go and street contact in places we wouldn't go to before because they were they either too far away, or just inconvenient to get to. So we went to this little historic site about Pirates and sunken islands or something along those lines. We were able to meet this guy that had been looking for a digital copy of the Book of Mormon but couldn't find it. We gave him a copy and talked to him for like an hour and a half about it. He loves how it works hand and hand in the Bible and has the same teachings. He also told us cool stories about visions his mom had about seeing angels that fall in line with doctrine in the D&C! God is real!

Highlights of the week:
Singing Karaoke with a family in the ward. Text me on messenger if ya want the videos.

Making members cry
Getting chicken bakes
Baptisms
Talking to people higher than a kite Is always fun

Spiritual thought: 
This last week we had zone conference and Holy cow it was a banger. I hadn't felt the spirit that strong since the MTC almost 2 months ago. We talked about repentance and conversion and the similarities and differences between them. Basically it all gets summed up into Alma 5. I've been studying that the past week and I've been having some amazing personal studies from it! Truly has made me rethink how I live life and how I want to live my life back home in 21 months. I definitely recommend y'all read it

Big up pon yuhselves,
Elder Turnbow
