Well this week was crazy! We were supposed to fly out to the Bados on Monday! But LIAT delayed our flight 4 hours then it got canceled! I was so upset inside because I was so excited to see all my peeps! But the Lord works in mysterious ways. So after it being canceled we went back through security and went to go get our bags! people were freaking out and yelling at LIAT staff. I felt bad for them. In the mist of all this contention there was a cute family over in the corner. We went and shared with them how families can be together forever! It was wonderful!
So we then saw this LIAT manager handing out vouchers for a hotel and free food! I was like freak man!! We gotta get one of those! I went and got one. It was a FREE night stay at the Radisson Beach resort! And free dinner and breakfast!! I was like buyahh thats what I am saying.. we left and went to the resort! We had a great rest of the p-day lifting weights, playing pool, and just liming out eating some delicious meals. After our stay there they wanted us to sign for the bill which was all put on LIAT.. it was about $500 for the room for one night. And our dinner was $185 and this is all American!! So thanks LIAT for screwing up the flights!!:) It was so fun! But we woke up early to be on stand by for a flight to get us out to the meeting on time. We reached the airport at 3 a.m. and then waited there forever. We unfortunately didn't get put on that flight. So we had to wait to the 12:50 one. By the time we got to Barbados we made it for the closing hymn and prayer. It was so sad. But there was nothing we could do. We missed all of the meeting we flew out for.
It was cool meeting the General Authority though. His name is Elder Zivic and he is a great man. That night we had a cool devotional with him. Also the next day we had a zone conference with him. He taught us so much it was such a spiritual meeting. Then after I went and saw all the people I love! What a great day. Everyone was so happy and I loved seeing them all. Especially little E! He was calling me Uncle Jake!
Well our flight home that night got delayed so we didn't fly home tell 1 a.m.! But we made it safe! I slept so long. That day was just amazing.
Also we got that whole family to come to church! They loved it. They will all be baptized on Oct 24th!!!
What a week.
Well I am glad all is well. Remember these few things I learned from Elder Zivic "When you give your heart to helping people, your heart will be changed and molded into what God wants us to be."
We shouldn't seek to conquer any world but the one from within"
And there are two types of people! One that is reactive and one that is proactive. We should always strive to be Proactive!
With much love,
Elder Dixon
