4th of July

Monday July 4, 2011
Wow. that's pretty crazy. I like the pictures. gobblers looks a bit different.  (Editor's note: Devon is referring to pictures from Alpine, AZ where his parents spent the weekend cleaning up their cabin after the Wallow Fire.  Gobbler's Peak is a nearby mountain.)

well, things have been good around here. this last week has been busy. with the Ockeys leaving we had to move all the senior couple stuff into our apartment. Now its a bit crowded. its a good thing we have a big apartment. We took the Ockeys to the airport this morning. I'm going to miss them - especially sister Ockeys cooking. President and Sister Hendricks flew in on Thursday to say bye to the Ockeys so we got to enjoy their company for a day. it's a bit weird now that the Ockeys are gone. now we have to email and skype and everything at the church.

on saturday we had Scott's baptism. it went really well. he is really solid. he got confirmed yesterday in church and received the priestood. Scott's wife, who was an ex-ed member was rebaptized yesterday after church as well. Scott was able to perform the baptism. it went really well. it was a good finish for the Ockeys. they have been working with them for a long time. Lesley is doing really well. she continues to imrove in her reading and everything. besides her we dont have too many other solid investigators. (we've baptized them all) we've been spending a fair amount of time finding which is always fun. you always have some crazy stories to tell after. 

things are going well. it's getting really hot and humid, but that's life.  besides that and the traffic, the Bahamas are great. The work is going well. we're just hoping and praying we can find some more good people to teach and hopfully we can get them through the members.

love you lots
Elder Kartchner
