Montego Bay and Negril

Thursday we left the house at 7:00 so that we could meet the Greensides in Falmouth.  When we got to Falmouth, we could not see the cruise ship.  We checked at the gate and they told us that it had docked in Montego Bay.  We headed to Montego Bay hoping we could find where the ship was docked.  We finally got to the port but we were not sure where to enter.  One gate we entered took us close and there was a gate that was guarded but the attendant would not let us enter so we walked back to the road and headed towards another entrance where we could see a bunch of buses and taxis.  Lo and behold, there were the Greensides waiting for us.  I am so glad the guard did not let us in the other gate or we could have been waiting for ever.  We all got in the truck and decided to head towards Negril.  If we could have picked them up in Falmouth, we would have taken them back to Ocho but Montego Bay is two hours from Ocho so we decided to head for Negril instead.  The Pearsons gave us a key so that we could use their rest room and then we walked from their condo to the beach.  We had such a great visit and it was so good to see them again.  We left Montego bay around 2:00 and headed back to Ocho since we had to both teach our seminary and institute classes.

Sister Thompson's grandmother died and Sister Thompson was really having a hard time.  The sisters had called earlier while we were in Montego Bay and we arranged to meet them at the branch.  Brian gave Sister Thompson a really nice blessing before  Rohan and Tracy came for class.  Shawn and Kimisha came to the 6:00 institute class and the elders showed up also.  I am sure they were hoping that some investigators would come but no such luck.

Today it has been raining all day.  We had to go over to St. Ann's Bay to ask a lady who oversees the committee that takes care of the poor if she could come to the Infirmary on Monday so that the humanitarian couple could present the items that are being  donated by the Church.  She graciously agreed to come.  We then went grocery shopping before our appointment with Sister Henry.  I made Sister Henry some cookies and just as we were getting ready to go, it started raining buckets.  We waited for the rain to slow down and then left for Sister Henry's.  We had a nice visit.  It is nice to see her healthier.  After the visit we made another visit and the rain started pouring again.  We decided to call it and day and headed home for dinner.
