"Visiting" Experiences

Had many “visiting” experiences this week.  More wild driving and many people invited back to church.  We saw several in Portmore and in Spanish Town.  When we get home we are so grateful that we arrived home safe.  More driving scares than people problems.  After an afternoon of visiting,  both of us feel great and are exhausted.  There is often tears of joy and/or regret.   We invite them all to come to church.  One of the biggest problems to church activity is transportation.  Many do not have money for a bus or a taxi.   I take good notes about our visits, otherwise they all melt together and I forget details.  
 We visited one lady yesterday that says she can’t come because she has a 17 year old, handicapped son and can not take him anywhere.  Their home is dark and dreary and it made me so sad.  In the US there would be a bus to pick him up and take him to school, giving her a break and helping him to learn.  She was such a sweet lady.  Even other RS sisters can not travel to her home to take some of the burden.  She is one of the many that have heavy loads.
We love you and are thankful for your influence in our lives.
Love,  Elder and Sister Herbert
