Wah gwan yall, I hope everything is going just absolutely fantastic in your personal lives. Mine has been pretty well this last week. Let's get into it.
First of all, it was
Sarah's, my little sister, birthday this last week. Yall should send
her a belated birthday message if ya know her. She'd really love it!!
I
gave a baptismal interview this last week, and it was super great! It's
so amazing to see the miracles that take place in people's everyday
life. The Lord really does prepare people in our day and age for the
Gospel, and it really does bring them lots of joy and happiness!
On
Wednesday, we had our zone conference/mission tour with Elder Cordón, a
member of the 70. He gave us probably the best message I've ever
received on my mission. He gave us a lot of good directions on how we
should know the scriptures like the back of my hand and be studying a
lot better to help the people were teaching progress. We definitely got
chastised for reading too much of Saints Vol. 2: trip to Hawaii and
listening to BYU talks. I'll definitely be stepping my game up to help
people understand more about how changing to become more like Jesus
Christ can bless their lives more than they think it can!! On the way
home we started an exchange as well. I went with Elder Anderson, he's a
Dawg from Brigham city. On the way back to our apartment, I got pulled
over for going 99 km/h. Which by the way, was the slowest speed out of
all the cars next to me. The cop told me I was going to get a ticket,
but then let me go for whatever reason. Whole thing lasted about 5
minutes and I'm still not really sure what happened.
We
had a fire lesson with our friend Jackie during the exchange. Last time
we talked to her about baptism by the proper authority a little bit,
but didn't have too much time and we didn't want to overwhelm her, so we
came back and finished the discussion and it was fire. She understood
everything perfectly and asked some really good questions, which
surprised me because her husband can't even understand English half the
time. However, very fire lesson, and it definitely wouldn't have gone as
well if we didn't have the zone conference the day before. We made
fried chicken for dinner too, so my cooking skills are definitely
getting up there.
I led
my 2nd District Council on Friday, and those things are still kinda
freaky. They're supposed to be an hour and a half long, and I thought I
had planned for that long. But apparently it was only an hour. Spirit
definitely led me to get the rest of the time filled and it was kinda
impressive. We turned out having a fire discussion that was very much
needed. The rest of that day ended up being filled with driving all Day
in downtown Kingston traffic. Not fun. Double cheese saved my life that
day for sure.
Final
moment for the week. We were out street contacting when a guy stopped us
and said, "wah gwan" Elder Turnbow, being the funny, hilarious,
sarcastic guy that I am, replied with "mi deya pon da work of jah" he
then continued to pester me with if I'm doing jahs work or Jesus' work.
My companion and I are confused because their like the same person. He
then continues to tell us that all of them are myths. Jesus was real,
but King James was the only person who knew him. Peter, James, John. And
all the other apostles were all myths, and a bunch of crap like that.
We asked him who created the world and stuff like that too, and he said
it was all nature. We continued to ask him who created nature and he
said it just existed. He said he got all of this stuff from the internet
too, so don't trust everything you read, or hear from a stoned rasta
pon da road.
That's about all that happened this week, hope all of y'all are doing better. Remember that Jesus Loves all of you!!
Bless,
Elder Turnbow
