Well well well here we are again. Monumental day for Elder Turnbow out here in Jamaica. Twas my last week in Portmore. I'm now driving in to my new area, Montego Bay, where I will be opening up a second set of Elders there while culture training an Elder new to Jamaica as well. His names Elder Starling and he's an absolute dawg. Itll be a blast out there for sure. Anyways now for the rest of our regularly scheduled email.
My last week in
Portmore was solid. I said goodbye to the Dixons. I've apparently been
teaching them for close to 4 months now which is absolutely crazy. I
bore my heart out to Mr. Dixon, hoping that he'll have a desire to come
unto Christ and be baptized. It seemed to be futile in the moment, but I
have hope for the future.
I
have been telling the Elders in my quad for a while now that if I
stayed in Portmore another transfer then I'd shave my entire head with a
1. They decided to take advantage of this when transfer news came.
While I was on an exchange the day before, they called the zone leaders
and told them to prank me and say I was staying. I'd say they got me
preyty good. I genuinely feared my life for a couple minutes before they
told me I was getting pranked. If ya want to see the video join the
vlogs down below lol
Spiritual thought:
I
wanted to take a minute to talk about patience. President basically
told me a couple weeks ago that I would be leaving this transfer. I'm
going to be honest, I was pretty excited. I had to remind myself
constantly that I had to focus on the work at hand. Since I was able to
slow down and be patient and finish out the transfer, I was recently
able to have one of the best weeks of my entire mission. We worked hard
and got done everything we had hoped and wanted to.
