I don't feel like I'm going home...

Okay, the trio...it's great! I love these girls that I'm working with. They mean so much to me. being with them helps me see the changes I've made this past year and a half.

GATORS...
We're working the St. Philips area as well as Barbados since we'll be turning it over to West Indies at the end of this transfer. There are five of us here in Bajan land but three of us go home leaving the two to move into the West Indies. So we took on gators that St. Philips had.

Meatha--is 17 years old with a baby and a b/f. Yesterday we taught her the restoration and watched the DVD. We asked her how she felt and she said, 'I felt happiness ans a sense of I know it's true.' She is so cute. She has a baptismal date for June 19th. Pray for her.

Kadeem and Asauri--they have a cute lil' 2 year old and alot of questions but we have felt a chnage in them so we are super excited to teach them again tonight and set a baptismal date.

Allison--is 30 years old and has a date for June 19th, too. She knows it's true, now we're just trying to teach her everything.

Sheron--is the same as Allison, knows the Book of Mormon is true and loves the church but she's living with her b/f and knows she can't.

We're also teaching a 17 year old girl that told us she doesn't believe in Jesus Christ...wow, that made my heart sink. I wanted to cry. She's read so many different things and visited so many different churches that she's confused. But i felt hurt when she said that. How can one not know what he did for us? HOW? WHY? WHO? God knows her and will help her find her way but only if she'll open her heart to him.

We had our last zone conference monday. I don't feel like I'm going home at all. it hasn't hit me yet. I'm too excited for everything that is happening here.

i hope everyone is good. Send my love to all.

"...I've got 6 wonderful weeks here..."

...know that I'm focused. yeah i'm excited about home but even more excited about working in BARBADOS again with Borders and Guzman. We're teaching a cute lil' couple that are on the border line of dropping us or learning more. We are helping other converts come back to church.
And since Barbados will be going back to the West Indies mission in July we're doing major work to get maps and areas up to date and ready to hand over to the other mission. I'm just super excited that I'm back here and working on this beautifulisland again!

Going home....to Barbados

The call came in yesterday that Hna Borders and Hna Guzman (my first companions in the MTC) will be a trio back in Barbados!!! I'm so excited, yet sad...I love it here in Fajardo. It was hard saying goodbye to Ivelisse and Jose. And this morning I cried sharing a scripture with my companion. i'm going to miss her and this area. Oh yeah, and they're taking the sisters out of this area anf the elders will be moving in. WHITE WASH! Crazy huh? So much is going on, I'm excited for it all. I know the Lord knows me and will help me finish out my mission strong. I'm going home...BARBADOS!!!
