Hello everyone, things are going excellent here in Kingston. This past week has gone by very fast, we have still been working on building our teaching pool, and we have met quite a few people, so we are excited to see if they will progress. On Sunday, I saw Mark and his family for a few minutes so that was cool, I was very surprised, and it took me back a little to see them. Man Alex and Sean and Maya have grown so big now it is crazy time certainly is going by too fast. this past week I have been thinking again a lot about the importance of families. The difference in happiness between families who live the gospel and those who don't is so apparent, it is unreal. a few weeks ago an awesome young family moved in from El Salvador. They invited us and the assistants over for dinner, and it was just awesome to feel the Spirit and to see how happy they truly were. As missionaries, we meet people/families that don't live the gospel, or don't even know the gospel, and there is a great deficiency of happiness that could otherwise be theirs if they would live the gospel. As the family a proclamation to the world states: happiness in family life is most likely achieved when founded upon the principles of the gospel. How true that statement is! It is the small and simple things that we do that brings to pass great things. little things like family prayer, scripture study, attending church, family activities, etc. goes a very very long way in bonding the family and inviting the Spirit of the Lord into the home. That is why the Prophets and Apostles and leaders in church constantly remind us of them. It is because those principles work! We just need to apply them in our lives. I am very grateful to be able to help families. The gospel has definitely blessed my family, and I know it will bless my future family when that day comes. Love you all,
Elder Nugent.
P.S. the pictures are from conference, and also last preparation day when we went to morrant point where there was a sweet lighthouse that we were able to go in.
