So, We had a good week. This past Wednesday we went to Kingston for zone conference. President Hendricks talked a lot about obedience and the need to baptize truly converted people. We have a big problem with baptizing people and then they never show up again. Because of this, Elder Mackey and I spent most of our time this last week contacting inactive members of the branch. We are also still working with this Wayne Palmer. He is doing really well and he came to church yesterday and really liked it. We also had two other investigators at church that were invited by members and several less-active people showed up as well. On Saturday we went and talked to the branch president about calling some branch missionaries and getting a member missionary effort organized. The problem has been that all the solid members already have several callings but we told him that we were willing to work with anyone - active or not. We figure that calling an inactive member as a branch missionary just gives us more of an excuse to work with them. We'll have to see how it all plays out but I'm excited for it.
Well, yesterday our discussion for 5th sunday was a new one for me. We talked about hurricane preparedness and emergency plans and such. Apparently Hurricane Tomas is heading our way and could possibly hit Jamaica by Thursday. It could make for an interesting week. We'll have to pick a little extra food - non perishables and such - for the week. Don't worry though, we live on the 2nd floor on the top of a hill so it's not like we're exposed to the wind at all.
Thanks for all the emails and birthday wishes. Hopefully I'll get my package sometime this month. Love you all.
Elder Kartchner
