So, it's official. I'm off to the Bahamas on Wednesday. I leave highgate tomorrow and go into Kingston. It's always weird leaving an area because you're sad to go but excited for something new. The branch here is doing well - much better than when I first got here. The average church attendance has gone from 15-20 to 30-35. We've reactivated several of our priesthood and have extended callings to several of the members (when I got here almost no one had callings and there wasn't any priesthood to speak of besides the branch president). It's been an awesome learning experience. I just hope the next missionaries keep it going.
Elder Ferrin will be staying in Highgate and Elder Luke (the one from Yuma that's cousins with Aunt Donna) will be taking my place. My new companion will be Elder Brockbank. He's fairly new so I don't really know him yet. I'm excited for nassau. It should be awesome. I'm going to miss my mountain view though- nassau is totally flat. Rumor has it that the apartment there even has carpet!
I don't know my address yet. I should know by next week.
Love you lots. Later
Elder Kartchner
