Hello everyone! greetings once more from the beautiful island of Jamaica. This past week has honestly been a blur, time is going by double the already fast pace that it has been going. On Tuesday, we had several really awesome lessons. In one lesson, we taught one inactive lady and her two active teenage children. It was a very tender lesson. The inactive mom has been inactive for years, but she cares so much for her children, and she sends them to church each week. In the lesson, this lady's children, bore powerful testimonies about how much the gospel has blessed their lives, and about how much they want their mom to come back. The Spirit was there very powerfully, and the mom started to cry, and agreed to start coming back. It was just awesome. This week, we have also found several promising investigators. We are teaching a couple of college students, and another lady who was a referral from a member in Spanish Town. The Lady who was a referral, is very excited to learn about the gospel. She recently lost her 10 month old baby, and is searching for peace and healing. In the first lesson we had with her, she agreed to be baptized on September 28. We also taught this guy preparing to be an electrical engineer, and had a powerful lesson with him. He felt and recognized the Spirit, and is so excited to learn about the gospel and read the Book of Mormon. This week, my testimony on receiving revelation through the Book of Mormon has definitely increased as well. I had a pretty neat experience in reading from Alma 32 where I was able to gain a lot of additional insight and understanding. I have read this chapter more than almost any other chapter in the Book of Mormon, and yet I was able to learn things that I had never before learned. It was awesome. Well, I am very excited for the upcoming week, our investigators who were suppose to be baptized this week encountered some opposition, and will be baptized sometime in the next few week(s). Please pray for them. I love you all. Till next week,

Elder Nugent
