Thanksgiving was great. I made mashed potatoes. I literally just got some potatoes and mashed them up. That's it. We got a member to bring Mac Pie! We had Coke, Mac Pie, and Potatoes. Also we got an investigator to come and bring some Sparkling Cider so that was fun! We went around the table and said what we are Thankful for. It was a fun Thanksgiving. Haha, the person in charge of the meat forgot so we didn't have the main course, but it is all good.
The area presidency came in to speak to us at a fireside. So us missionaries from Black Rock hopped on a bus to get there. It was at the other church across the island... Jeff, a member of the church here who works with the missionaries, told us he knew where it was so we followed him after we got off the bus into Bridgetown. it was about 5:30 and the fireside started at 7 so we thought we had plenty of time... we followed jeff as we walked up and down roads. To make a long story short Jeff had know idea where we were going. So we were lost. After walking for about 3 hours the fireside was over and we were in the middle of nowhere. The AP's then came and picked us up after the fireside. We were an hour ride from the church.. They laughed at us so much.. It was such a funny experience.
Monday was Independence Day! We had a party at the church and did some fun stuff I will show you a video of me dancing!! -- Also on Monday we had interviews with president. I guess my comp is having some issues with me. I was in shock because I thought me and my comp were great friends and were having a good time together. I guess not. To make things worse his bike got stolen and mine had a flat. so as I carried it home it was a silent walk. I was frustrated and mad. That night was the worst.
Tuesday was zone conference! We Learned a lot! the spirit was so strong!! I have been trying to talk to my comp to make things better but who knows. I am praying all the time our friendship will come back, and also that I can become more humble to know what he is going through.
Well other than that, things are great. I love the mission but can't wait to talk to you guys at Christmas.I miss you guys a lot!

| Jake gave away a pair of his shoes to an investigator so he's been wearing just the pair on the left. He's been saying he's needed new shoes for a while. Mom sent his some for Christmas. Also really excited about that :) |

| They did service for Sister Hyland. Jake writes, "She is so cool! We were at her house almost every day last week. We make the Banana leafs ready for the Conkee (Picture below) This is seriously one of y favorite foods. They wrap it up in Banana leaves and steam it for a few hours. It takes like Banana Bread mixed with Pumpkin Cookies. So Good!!" |
