“I did want to talk a little bit about my Spanish. I’m very bad at it. I really on God so much for help and for Him to put the message in people’s hearts because I can’t speak it. I’m continually praying for strength and support. I’m studying so hard. As much as I can bare. He is helping. It’s coming slowly.”

Boy, we had good things going but no baptisms. Suck. We fasted for 40 baptisms today and nobody could keep their fast.

At transferred yesterday Bailey said 3 zones had requested me to be in them. I don’t know why. I’m an outcast, a wallflower, it seems too weird. Bailey was wondering what I was up to. I didn’t do anything. Maybe God just wants me to have a little joy in my life. I feel noticed and loved.

Jamaica is pretty cool. All the people talk like Jamaicans (not really, but a lot do). The work’s coming along. We taught three women last night.

The English branch emptied the water out of the font and the font is BIG. It’s in the new Richmond Hills chapel. It’s a beautiful church. So we were filling up buckets in the bathroom sinks and kitchen to dump in it to fill it up faster. Wow, we got about one foot of water in it and baptized him. He’s over 80 years old. Pantciano. He’s a cold old man. He had to lie down on the bottom of the font. It was a good experience and he seemed to like it. So did all the branch members who helped.

We went out and looked for somebody we could baptize that day and found a man. He lived in the sister’s area but we took him to the church and taught him. I was so impressed with my comp. I taught the man about God and Jesus Christ, then my comp told him God calls prophets. Then we committed him to be baptized.
