Another day in Ocho

Today, Brian worked on putting an area map together and getting ready for his Sunday school lesson on Sunday.  It is the Primary program in Ocho this week and I am excited to see how that goes.  I spent most of the day studying.  I have been trying to read the seminary handbook before seminary starts.  I also spent time in the scriptures and Preach my Gospel.

Tonight we ventured out on our own and made a trip over to Lime Hall to see W.  Fortunately, his address was in the GPS.  I am not sure how long he has been a member but he has been coming to church every Sunday.  A week ago we visited him with P L.  W is the member who is so good with creating wicker furniture.  We visited with him for a few minutes and then he went into the house to get his Book of Mormon and he started to read to us.  He read the prayers for the sacrament very well.  He could not read when he was contacted by the missionaries but he told us that as he has tried to read the Book of Mormon, he has learned how to read. He would read and then Brian would explain what he was reading.  The sisters that were working with him when he started investigating the church wrote on the inside cover of his Book of Mormon before they left.  He could not read  what they wrote.  He can now read it.   I know he is being blessed for his efforts.  He tries to read every day.  We told him that we would come as often as we can to help him.  We showed him a video off the ipad on faith and then we left.  We tried to figure out where Humphrey lives because he also lives in Lime Hall but when we called him he wasn't going to be home for another 45 minutes so we told him we would call tomorrow.

When we got home I fixed dinner and Brian defrosted the refrigerator freezer.  This is the second time in the 2 1/2 weeks that we have been here that the freezer needed defrosting. Tomorrow we will be going to Port Antonio.
