Hello everyone! Happy Easter yesterday! and happy April Fools Day today. This past week has been pretty good. We went to Port Royal for preparation day last week, and we had splits with the Elders in Montego bay the next day. We have been working with some pretty cool investigators here in Santa Cruz as well. Yesterday we walked for 2 hours with some investigators to church. it was a pretty awesome experience. We have been teaching them for a while and they have been coming to church (usually by taxi because they live pretty far), but this week they were out of taxi fare. When we taught them on saturday, they were unsure if they would come to church because they didnt have any money. We then taught them about the importance of attending Church, and invited them to walk to the church with us. They gladly accepted. The following morning we comenced on our 2 hour journey to the church. we started walking with them at 7 and arrived at 9, one hour before church started. It was great to see them put their faith to action. I have offered many times to walk with people to church, but rarely will people exercise the faith to do it. This experience also made me reflect more heavily on the great importance of attending church and partaking of the Sacrament and on my own commitment to attending church every Sunday. Our sabbath-day behavior is an outward expression of our commitment to honor and worship God. May we all truly keep the Sabbath-day holy for our entire lives. Also, I am very excited for General conference. I know that there will be a message delivered to each of us for our individual lives by the Spirit, if we will listen with the Spirit. Love you all,
Elder Nugent
