Wah gwan me generals, it's been another week out here in Mandeville. Instead, this time it's pretty solid. I'm not majorly depressed or anything anymore, just a little depressed, but that's the mission for you.
First highlight this week
was doing service for Sis. Dixon. She raises about 50 chickens for
about 6 weeks, then cuts their heads off, plucks the feathers, Guts
them, and sells them for a pretty good deal. Needless to say, we all had
a pretty good time cutting heads off and plucking feathers. It wasn't
nearly as bloody as I thought it was going to be either. The senior
couple in my area got a hoot out of it too, and took a super long video
of the whole process. The video of me cutting a head off got ruined, but
there are more chickens that are gonna be ready to kill in a couple of
weeks. If you love me, and actually read these, you'll stay tuned for
that email.
I went on an
exchange this last week as well to an area near mine called May Pen.
It's fun to go on exchanges now since I'm not going every week for
almost 5 months straight. I went with my boy Elder Jensen. He's kinda
getting to be an old fart, and my mom's been stalking his blog basically
ever since I got my call, so it was cool to finally get to know him.
Everybody claims he's the next AP, and I can see why. He has a genuine
care for the work, our Savior, and helping missionaries be the best they
can. I learned a lot that I'll hopefully keep for the rest of my
mission.
We has the
pleasure of getting called on to make a Facebook post as well. The topic
was "The Restored Gospel", which is cool, but it's like super hard when
you're uncreative, like myself to find a good idea with such a broad
topic. However, we spent a good chunk of our proselyting hours yesterday
figuring it out and taking some pics for it. I'll include some of my
favorites below. If you can guess what the line is, I'll give you a hug
when I get home.
I hit 6
months on my mission yesterday! It's crazy to think that I've been
serving for that long. A part of me is amazed that I've made it this
far. Honestly, serving a mission has been the best decision I've ever
made. I've truly become closer to my Lord and Savior, and changed in
ways that I didn't think possible. My goal is to go home and to not have
anyone be able to recognize me lol. My little short testimony is that I
know know my Savior lives, and that He loves every single one of you
unconditionally! That's why He gave up His life, so that we could all
have eternal life and live to see Him, and our Father in Heaven someday
Manners and respect,
Elder Turnbow
