Hello Everyone! wah tah goh waahn? Mi deh yah! This week has been quite excellent if i might say so. It started off about a week ago. My companion and I were out in the middle of nowhere teaching a great family the first lesson. It was the first time teaching this family so we didn't know the area well, and it was starting to get kinda late by the end of the lesson. After the lesson, we waited forever outside with a member to find a taxi, but no taxis were coming our way. I was getting quite worried, because I wasn't sure how we would be able to reach home. The place where we were at would probably take about 3 hours to walk back home. We all said a couple prayers in our hearts. Eventually, a police truck came and stopped because one of the police officers knew the member we were waiting with from way back in the day in high school. The member somehow convinced the police officer to give us a ride. As we were driving with the police officers, we learned that they had just intended to drop us off at a post office which was also clear out in the middle of no where. But, we were able to use our people skills and we became friends with the police, and they decided to drive us all the way back to the town. Later in the week I learned that police officers never give people rides. My companion and I were truly blessed by the Lord. He answered our prayers and provided a way for us to get back home safely. He also softened the heart of the police officers to give us a ride all the way to the town. What a blessing it was. I am so grateful.

Mandeville area is doing awesome though. We are working with several people who I feel have truly been prepared by the Lord, and this week we had more people in sacrament meeting than we have ever had before. The area is doing great, and we are starting to work with the members more in helping them to do missionary work. Well, Today will also be a good day. We are spending the day with the zone in Negril, which is at a beach that has 7 miles of white sand, it is very famous in Jamaica. It should be fun. Thank you for all your prayers and support. I am truly enjoying my time here in Jamaica. It has definitely been the hardest time of my life, but it has been the best time as well. I know that this is the work of the Lord, and I know that he hears and answers our prayers. I know that he loves us and that Jesus is the Christ, our Lord and our Savior. I know that we are led and guided by a living prophet to day. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

With much love,
Elder Nugent
