Week 105

April 2, 2018


Well, this week is certainly very different. At this time next week I am gonna be back in Idaho! 

This week I also spent some of the time saying goodbye to the wonderful people of Kingston branch. I also spent the weekend watching general conference. That was full of surprises.

I can't think of much more to write other than the fact that this is my last 'normal' email in Jamaica, oh, some pictures should come after this email.

I am glad that I was able to serve on the Lord's mission for two years. I will email you all later.

Sincerley,

---Elder Wood---








The first picture is Elder Menlove trying to look like he works out.

The second one is some of the branch snacking inbetween sessions of General Conference on Sunday.

The Third is President Hamilton being carried away in Lehi's Dream during General Conference.

The last is a beautiful view of the harbour in Jamaica.

Week 104

March 26, 2018


Good evening everyone,

This past Sunday I gave my going home testimony since it was my last normal Sunday in Jamaica. I am grateful that I do have another week out here though. I encourage all of you to work hard in what you do have so if it ends, you don't have any regrets.

I will continue to work hard in these "last days" of my full-time mission. I wish you all the best and hope that you liked the pictures.

Sincerely,

---Elder Wood---







1st Pic: We found some sweet potatoes in a member's yard.

The second is Elder Menlove taking care of the soil around some banana trees.

The last is a picture of the view from the back of a coaster.

Week 103

March 19, 2018


Good evening everyone,

As it gets ever closer to the week 104 email (week 104 will be the last emailing day before I go home) I have continued to work with the members and the missionaries around me. 

Some of the interesting things this week is a film crew came down from Utah to records some parts for a safety video series.

We had a hike earlier today. That was fun, we hope to climb Blue Moutain next monday, it is the highest mountain in Jamaica.

Something that I am continually learning is that Heavenly Father can see the intent of your heart and will bless you accordingly. He helps us as we focus our efforts on those that are around us. The more we care about others, the more we will see those blessings within us and within them.

I wish you all the best and I will talk to you later,

---Elder Wood---








We hiked up to a waterfall today, the first picture is when I was climbing down from the topside of the waterfall.

The second is some of the missionaries trying to take some bamboo down the mountain with them.

The third is a beautiful view from up there.

The last one is the actual waterfall that we went to see.
