Hello my most favorite people,
Hows it??
You have my travel plans??!! Oh wow this is so weird.
THIS WEEK WAS CRAZY!!!
I was in Grenada from Wednesday until Friday night REAL late. Grenada was wonderful. I learned a lot while I was there and met so many great people! I also got to be with my old comp. Sister S. 🙂 We talked about the good old days! While I was there we taught so many great people there. Grenadians are so very kind and open and awesome.
The Sisters are doing very well. Such hard workers! While I was there it was late at night and we were walking down a really steep hill and it had rained early in the day… I slipped and almost wiped out down the hill… Hahah in the process somehow I lost my name tag. (which was later found from a search crew consisting of members 😉
While I was at the airport I met a lot of really great people and contacted a lot. It is great to share the gospel wherever we are. Everyone needs this message. 🙂
I was supposed to be home Friday morning at 9:30 but the Caribbean airline service (Liat) is not very reliable and so I ended up spending many hours at the airports and having delays and flying from island to island before I finally made it home at 11 p.m. on Friday.
Needless to say I was very tired and I learned a lot of patience that day. Everyone was throwing beefy fits and yelling at the airport people and I just said to myself why worry and dwell on things you can’t change!?
My time here this week was nice. I love my companions. We are all like BFF’s. We had some of our progressing investigators come to General Conference. It was so good. I loved it. I wrote down questions before hand and every single one of q’s was answered 🙂
I love the gospel. I learned more about how to recognize answers to prayers. I learned about how to be confident in the Lord and how we can stay strong in this wild world.
We had a lesson with one of our LA’s (the one that used to always come out with us and she was so solid) (she has been falling away:() last night and the spirit was so strong. She asked us to sing some hymns and then give her talks on each topic she picked. She picked love, sacrifice and prayer. It was awesome. I feel all the time that as we teach people about different things I truly am the one that is growing from it.
Anyway that is most of my week. I am a bit sleep deprived but the Lord gives me the strength! On Wednesday morning I will be flying to Trinidad and then flying from Trinidad to Suriname and getting there at one in the morning on Thursday…. And I will be with those Sisters until next week! This is my last travel of this transfer! So that will be awesome. I cannot wait! Tomorrow President M. is coming in for interviews and me and the ZL’s will be teaching the whole Zone with Pres M. there… No pressure right?? Haha no I am kidding, it’ll be fine.
So this week will be indeed crazy! Next week I will probs be emailing on Tuesday since I am flying home on Monday.
Thanks for making sure I have money on my card! Anything specific you would like from the carib??
Thanks for everything! I love you all so very much and life is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Sister Emily 🙂
