Hey Fam

Aug 23, 2010

Things are going well here. Neither of us got transferred so I am officially Elder Ronhaar's last companion. He leaves the first part of October. I'm glad we both stayed though. He is a lot of fun and we get along well.

So this week I finally got to try some chicken foot soup. I have to say it was really good. Elder Ronhaar and I decided to try some of our own cooking, Jamaican style. We bought all the herbs and spices and stuff and cooked up some stewed pork with rice and peas (beans). It turned out pretty good for a first time.

Sister Follette finally quit smoking. She has been clean for almost a week now. We need to get her to come to church again and then she can be baptized. She is getting way excited. It is amazing to see the change that has come over her in the short time we've worked with her.

Being in Jamaica even for the short time that I have has really made me appreciate all that I have been blessed with. Not just physically (because that doesn't matter all that much) but more importantly the blessings the gospel brings and the blessings of having an intact family that lives the gospel.

Anyway, thank you for the emails. Love you all.
Elder Kartchner
