Stew Peas - Linstead, Jamaica

Hello everyone, 
It's me again. This week was good. We had zone conference. That was pretty fun. I got my b-day package and the thanksgiving one. I'm going to make the potatoes this week with the stuffing. We are trying to get the Christmas tree put up. I ate the Reeses. I am saving my birthday package until next week. I made stew peas this week. It is a Jamaican food. It's crazy that Christmas is almost here, and I am almost 20. That's weird! We also found this really cool investigator last week. He has a tattoo, and he really wants to get baptized and repent. He is way cool. I'll keep you updated on what happens. The members are good. My comp is good. We get fed every Sunday, still. Linstead is a more quiet area. We live out in the bush. There isn't much of a town, but the town isn't too far.

First Week in Linstead, Jamaica

Hello Everyone,
Lindstead is nice lots of trees and fruit and plants. the people are pretty nice. my comp is good. I'm his mom. haha. He is pretty new on the mission. There is zone meeting this week, so i should get mail there. Linstead is just a small town and there are lots of trees. The members seem nice. It is better then Spain Town

I'm good. There are a few investigators. T
here is one guy we met he was like a gangster, but he is pretty interested. It's been good.

My companion is from South Jordan. What part of South Jordan do Aaron and Angie live? We are going to shop today and do the usual thing. Linstead is better, it is not depressing. 
 There are 6 elders in town, but in different houses.

I Am Finally Getting Transferred!!

Hello everyone, 
This week was good. I am getting transferred to Linstead with Elder Moys. I am going to be a mom. haha. I am his second companion. It should be good. I have heard good things about Linstead. I'll leave this place tomorrow morning. I am ready to leave. haha Next transfer should be better. Other than that nothing too exciting. Our investigators all fell through so, ya. That was awkward. I'll be out of here soon.
I have to go. I love you bye,
Elder Davis

My neighbor has been copying all the recipes. She has the Ashton Ward cookbook. The transfer should be good, something new!

I met my companion a few times. He seems cool, just really green. I heard the members feed missionaries a lot in Linstead.

I am just excited. No mail this week. My companion is from Utah :/. He seems chill, though.

Hanging in there... Spanish Town, Jamaica

Hello everyone! 
This week was better. We actually found two investigators. They are two sisters, and they are actually keeping commitments. Hopefully, we can get them to church next Sunday. Transfer calls are this Saturday. So, that is exciting. I hope I get transferred far away from Spain Town. The dogs are good. haha We didn't get to go to the service day. We didnt know where it was, and i think it got canceled. We are going to chill at the church today with the other elders. My companion is good, just different. I have 10 more months, it is going by fast. 
That was my week,
Elder Davis

It helps when you put baggies on all of the treats in my packages. Then the ants and rats don't get into them.

This Week Was Rough - Spanish Town, Jamaica

Hello everyone
This week was rough, but so it goes. I just have to keep moving forward. Keep the Wright's in your prayers. I am doing good. Make sure that they are ok. The mission president called and let me know. I'm alright, we just have another angel watching out for us now. I am just keeping busy, so there is less time to just fester and think about what happened. An idle mind is the devil's playground.
I haven't gotten any mail yet. Zone meeting is on Wednesday, so i should get a whole bunch.
Someone gave us sugar cane this week and also some coconuts. So, that was good. The puppies are good. This morning we cleaned our house. We sprayed it all out haha.
That was this week,

Austin was my older brother that I never had

A lot of rain and Shepherd's Pie!

Hello Everyone It's me!
This week was shorter than last. Still no one solid to teach, but we are still trying. We still haven't found a place to rent yet. Hopefully soon! Elder Eulette snores'-'! So, that has been difficult, but oh well. I only have two more weeks here
It has been raining a lot. The rivers are high and we had a landslide yesterday. No mail this week.  Everyday when we come in for lunch, it usually starts raining. We have dinner with Julie's family every Sunday. Julie and her sister and their dad live together. Their dad had a stroke so he cant say much. She has an adopted son named Nicko. They are pretty nice.  I haven't seen stuffing. I found potatoes, but they are expensive. They don't have root beer, here. I tried to send a package last week, but they wouldn't send it. I'm going to get another one together. On Pdays, the elders all hang out at the church. The food here is pretty nice.  
I have to go, 
Elder Davis




I made sheperds pie the other day. it was awesome

Elder Davis Speaking.... Spanish Town, Jamaica

Hello Everyone... Elder Davis speaking. This week was boring and long. No one to teach. We are helping the less actives a lot, though. The puppies are good. haha. Tink Tink is always playing with them. We had some super good Jamaican Jerk yesterday. That was fun, and i got my hair cut from a barber. Most of them don't know how to cut white man hair, but he did a good job. That is a little summary of this week. Oh ya, and one of the senior couples took us to dinner. So, that was fun.We went to Island grill. No packages this week. 
Love you all,
Elder Davis
