ya man

Man, the saying that the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days has never been more real. We're working hard and time is flying!

This week was wonderful. The people here are very religious and are set in their ways, but we do the best we can to turn cookie dough into brownie mix! Jamaica has the most churches per capita in the world, but we aren't letting that stop us(: We are working with Devonte still and preparing him to be baptized this next sunday and he is on fire! He is so solid and has turned his life around a lot- and is great at recognizing the blessings he receives from living the gospel. 
LIFE IS GOOD.
Funny story of the week, we got pulled over by cop (they're ruthless here) and he immediately asked to see Sister Clyde's license and papers. The second he looked at her license he said, "I hate Arizona." We were a little concerned after that for what was going to happen to us haha. We were lucky we got away without a ticket though (thanks to the office elders!!).

This next week has some very exciting things in store....details coming soon!! Have a wonderful week and read your scriptures!!

ora et labora,
Sister Swindle

yes i'm still alive hahahaha

hello I got permission to send you a quick update! I am staying at a lovely welsh senior couple's home in Mandeville and they said we may potentially be here till Saturday.....HAHAHAHA I AM GOING INSANE. We literally have nothing to do and I am going crazy crazy crazy crazy. We get to watch conference when the wifi works, so so far we just have the last session left. I get to be with Sister Afemata and some other lovely sisters, so that is wonderful. Honestly I just hope we get hit by the hurricane and not Haiti because they've suffered way too much. Also \i just want to live through a hurricane hahahaha.I'm not worried though(: We also got transfers this week and \i may have gone into a coma when they told sister fawson that she will be staying in Hopeton and training (she'll have been there 9 months by the time she's done with training!!!) and I am going to Portmore to be an STL. I WAS IN SHOCK. There's 4 STLs in the mission and they cover all the sisters (th...

Another exhausting/wonderful/hot/exciting week in Portmore! #missionlife Some exciting things or just totally random thoughts from this week: 1. I think it's important to note that I ate cow skin and chicken foot soup and survived. I also had pig tail and that was exciting. (It's true when they say your stomach gets set apart too) 2. We had a cute Jamaican sister stay with us for a couple days before we took her to the airport to go to the Provo MTC and then to her mission in Cape Verde! That was the closest I'll ever get to training probably haha. She was darling though and it was fun to trio. The more sisters the merrier! 3. There are butterflies everywhere here. It makes me happy :) 4. Just about everything we do here as missionaries is for the end goal of having a temple on the island someday. People have to sacrifice so much to fly to either Panama or the Dominican Republic and there are faithful members that have never been able to go to the temple. It absolutely brea...
