This week has been crazy. A lot of ups and downs, but I've gotta stay positive. I don't have a lot of time to write right now, but I wanna write down a few things that happened.
We visited Ramar (20 yrs. old) at his house to go over 1 Nephi 1 with him like he asked. When we got there, his cousin, Sean, was there to prove us wrong like he always tries to. Sean is educated and intelligent. He knows his Bible well. He showed us 4 or 5 YouTube videos and scriptures explaining why Jesus is black..... we listened......"alright Sean, but we wanna talk with Ramar now" He insisted we kept listening. Some Jamaicans have funny looks on some Bible stories/prophets/Jesus.
It's been a good week, but definitely a hard week. I'm having trouble with patience. Jamaicans are an idle people, and I don't like laziness. It's frustrating to extend commitments, only to not have them follow through with them. It's sometimes discouraging, but I'm doing my best to love them and do my part in inviting them to come unto Christ. It's their job to do the 'DO'ing.
peace
