Good morning Jamaica.... and a top of the morning to anyone that is checking our blog!
We arrived in Kingston last night at 7 pm and we were so pleased to be greeted by Elder and Sister McKenzie (Sues Sister and Brother-n-Law). After a nail biting one hour ride back to their apartment, we finally got to bed around 11 pm.
Our breakfast this morning was FRESH papaya, bananas, pineapple and filtered water.
We are so excited to get to work serving the people here in the Jamaica Kingston Mission.
We have been assigned to the Old Harbor area just west of Kingston, and as soon as our apartment is ready, well be moving from the McKenzie to Old Harbor. Hopefully that will only be a day or two.
We are suppose to meet President and Sister Parker tomorrow (Monday) and receive our marching orders...no pun intended, as he is retired military.
The MTC experience was fantastic! It has changed a bit from the last time we were there in 2014.
They have done away with "roll play" and we actually are assigned to pair with another couple, get to know them, and then teach them by the spirit something that will be of use to them.
What a marvelous experience that was.
The couple we were paired with are Elder and Sister Allen from Victor Idaho and they are assigned to one of the Philippine missions as Mission Nurse and MLS.
It was instant love. They are such a cool couple, and they were so inspiring. Sister Barney was able to help Sister Allen with lots of nursing insight that helped to take away some of her apprehensions and I feel so inspired by the lessons they prepared for us. They certainly followed the spirit and presented uplifting messages that were needed.
We certainly hope and pray for them to have and feel success.
Well I better get on with the morning.
As they say here in Jamaica...."see ya latter"  ;-)

Oh...I'll work on some pictures for the next post.
