Hey everyone! hope everything is going well! this past week has been a pretty busy week out here in Santa Cruz, Jamaica. We just had transfers so Wednesday and a large part of Thursday were spent driving all over the island. By the time I arrive home, I will be an experienced road tripper. I received my new companion on Wednesday. His name is Elder Romney and he is from Washington. He is a cool guy, and we get along well. He only has about 4 months left on his mission. Currently we have been working with some pretty cool people. One day last week, we asked the branch president for directions to a less active member's house. We followed the directions, but when we arrived, we found out that it was the wrong place, but in the process of trying to locate the inactive member we found two really cool people to teach. They are very interested and they are husband and wife, so it doesn't get any better than that. This past week, I read in Doctrine and Covenants section 98. v 11-15 or 16 or somewhere around there. It really stood out to me. It talks about how we need to embrace all good and reject all evil, and how that the Lord will prove us to see if we will live according to our covenants even unto death. It also tells us to not be afraid of our enemies. It tells us that if we do not keep our covenants we are not worthy of Him. Sometimes, it may appear hard to follow the Lord, sometimes it might seem scary to keep our covenants. But we always have to remember that He loves us, and that we must put our trust in Him. And remember that we have to be willing to keep our covenants no matter what, even unto death. We cant be afraid of our enemies no matter what or who they may be. I love this gospel, and I love our savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives.

Love,
ELder Nugent
