Hey everyone! Hope everything is going well! I am doing well here in Jamaica. This week has been a pretty sweet week. First off, early in the week, my companion and I had a chance to give a blessing to an investigator because she was not feeling well. Sometimes, when we would go over to the investigators house, her niece and nephew would be over there. They are 2 and 5 years old and their names are Boombai and Dudus. and, to put a long story short, whenever Boombai and Dudus were at the house, we would always have to stop the lesson early because they are wild children haha. When we went to give the investigator the blessing, Boombai and Dudus were crazy as usual, but as we proceeded to give the blessing, silence began to envelope the home as we all began to feel the Spirit of the Lord, and at the close of the blessing, there was complete silence and peace. The most peaceful I have ever seen at that investigators home. The Spirit was present. There was a stark contrast from before we gave the blessing to after we gave it. Probably the biggest contrast that I have yet to see so far. It was an awesome experience. 

Second off, we have begun teaching a cool new investigator. On our second visit to her home, she told us she didn't know if we would believe her but that she had seen us in a dream the night before we first met her. She said that she saw our same truck pull up to her house in her dream and that she saw us. She described us as two white men (many people in Jamaica still think i am white haha). She said that in her dream we had come to her and taught her. She then told us that in her dream after we had left her, another similar truck pulled up to her house, and there were two different men that tried to take her away and force her into their church. the investigator then told us that she felt that satan would try to attack her after she began meeting with us so we all needed to watch out. What a neat experience indeed!  It was amazing to see how she understood from her dream that satan would oppose her after she began to meet with us. 

Third off, on Saturday, I got a transfer call. I am being transferred back to Constant Spring branch in Kingston where I will be the new Assistant to the President. I am excited that I will be able to serve in that branch again. I feel kind of inadequate to be an AP, but I know the call came from the Lord, so I know that as I rely on Him, His grace will be sufficient for me. I am excited though because I will be able to travel to the other parts of the mission like to the Bahamas, and to Cayman, and to Turks and Cacaos. So that will be pretty cool. I am also excited to be able to learn from my mission President as I work closely with him. So, I will be leaving Santa Cruz on Tuesday evening. I will definitely miss the people here. I have developed many friendships and I love this area. I know this is the Lord's work, and I am grateful to be a part of it. 

Love you all,

Elder Nugent
