Hey Fam,
Nassau is great. Elder Brockbank and I flew here on Wednesday. We replaced the sister missionaries that were here before so I'm whitewashing again. There is a senior couple here - the Ockeys - and they are way cool. The branch here is big. there are about 600 people on the role but about 100 are active. plenty of work to do. the branch is solid though. we actully have a functioning branch presidency and elders quorum and everything else. we even have a branch mission leader! I'm excited to get some things rolling.
I feel like I got a whole new mission call. Nassau is so modern. It feels like I'm back in america. My apartment is so nice. it even has carpet, ceiling fans, hot water, couches, and a weight bench!! We have a car here so I'm learning to drive again but on the left side of the road. There are a lot of Haitian immigrants here looking for work. They are very humble and receptive to the gospel. probably half the branch is Haitian. Now I have to start learning Creole. We started teaching a few Hatians already using one of the members as a translator. It's fun.
It is so weird being back here as a missionary. It's pretty awesome though. I'm totally excited. Elder Brockbank is really good.
Well, later.
Elder Kartchner
