Hey everyone! hope things are going well back home! I am doing well out here in Jamaica as usual. This past week has been pretty good. We had a zone meeting in Sav on Wednesday which went really well. We have also had some really good lessons, and we have met some awesome investigators this past week. Yesterday we experienced a miracle. At the end of Saturday, our gas was running low and we forgot to fill it up. There was enough gas to barely get through our scheduled appointments for Sunday. After church on Sunday, we were asked to give a blessing to a member's son who was in the Hospital in Black river due to an asthma attack. Black river is a pretty good distance from Santa Cruz (over 30 km away), and we were unsure if we would be able to make it all that way and back on the limited gas that we had. We also had an appointment that was about 25 km away in the other direction later that evening. The car that we drive is a Ford Ranger and it is not very good on gas mileage at all. We decided to go and give the blessing. As soon as our car pulled into the Black River hospital, the gas light turned on indicating that our fuel was exhausting. We proceeded to give the blessing, which was a Spiritual experience. I love participating in blessings. After the blessing, we started the long journey back to Santa Cruz. The gas needle was halfway on the empty line by the time we reached Santa Cruz, but we decided to drive to our next appointment 25 km away. The whole time we were very nervous that we would run out of gas. In fact, we were sure that we would run out of gas. But we didn't. By the time we arrived at our appointment, the needle was below the empty line. After the appointment, we began the long journey back to Santa Cruz. Miraculously we made it without running out of gas. We drove over 80 km after the gas light came on and we still had enough gas to go to the gas station this morning. Yes, i know that we were unwise in not filling the car on Saturday, but I know that the Lord blessed us to travel all those distances yesterday so we could give the blessing. It was an awesome experience. Well I love being out here. We are working with some really solid investigators who have a lot of potential. Time is flying by too fast. I love teaching, and inviting others to come unto Christ. Love you all back home,
Elder Nugent
