Jamaica to Provo

Well, I am back from my mission. I am currently at BYU Provo going to school. I live with a good friend and I am having a good time. My teachers are awesome. I have gone on dates since I have been back. Life is good. :)

Welcome home!

I have done horribly at keeping Daniel's blog up the last two months. We've been on vacation and sick, etc. Enough excuses:). I will update with all his recent emails soon. I just wanted to let you all know that Daniel will be HOME tonight! Welcome home, Daniel! We have missed you!!

To my family

Dear Family,

Things are going well. We had a baptism on Saturday and a confirmation on Sunday. It went well. The man that was baptized is an awesome Jamaican. He joked that I keep telling him that Joseph Smith is a true prophet but he already knows! I had the opportunity to perform the ordinance. We had 5 people at church yesterday and 4 people are planned to be baptized Saturday and Sunday. I get to work with Haitians also. There is a Haitian member that comes out with us almost every night. If we don't come to pick him up sometimes he calls us. He is earning money for his family in Haiti. The work is going well. I am so happy that Nathan and Maggie have a new son.

Love,

Elder Mason

Dear Everyone,

Hi!!! It is good to have time to email my family once again. The Nassau is nice. It is Eastern time here. By the way, on my calls next Sunday, I can only talk to Mom and Dad.


Did I ever tell you that I have a new companion. Well, yes, I do. Elder Sizemore went back to Jamaica and became President Graff's assistant. My new companion is Elder Martinez.

On Thursday we had Zone leader council. It took place in Jamaica; however, we had the opportunity to listen to some of it through Video Conferencing. Here is were it gets interesting. Zone leader council happened on Thursday. We got a message from Elder Sizemore on Saturday night and we then called Jamaica. President Graff was honorably released on Friday night, then on Saturday he went back home. Elder Coleman of the Area Presidency is temporaraly filling in. I did not expect it. I am getting a new mission President.


It will be good to hear from you next week.

Love,

Elder Mason
