Hello Fam

Hello Fam,

It's been another good week. we had a few surprises so it didn't turn out quite like expected. The first half of the week went very well. we started to get some good member involvement and a bunch of referrals and such. Tuesday night, though we got a call saying that Elder Worley and I needed to pack our bags because we were moving to Linstead the next day. Kind of a big surprise. Anyway it had to do with a missionary getting sent home so Elder Worley and I had to take his spot. We are now in a trio - Elder Worley, Elder Taylor, and me. It's kind of weird to work in a trio but it's a lot of fun. We've been working the last few days on getting the work moving for real here in Linstead. They haven't had much happen here in the last year in terms of baptisms and such, but we'll soon get things going. The branch here in Linstead is pretty good. They have a good amount of priesthood holders for a jamaican branch. I'm excited. Church yesterday was interesting. There was no water at the church so they decided to only have sacrament meeting. Well, at the end of the usual sacrament meeting they were about to close off but the district speaker (equivelent of a high counselor) felt like he had to give his two bits. Well, he ended up rambling on for another 40 minutes. It was the longest sacrament meeting of my life. Oh well. We have a few good investigators we're working with and We're working on getting a lot more referrals and such from members so we should start seeing some things happen.

I excited for conference this weekend. I should be able to watch it here in Linstead, so it should be good.

Sounds like things are going good back home. Logan James isn't too bad of a name, I guess. Oh, one other thing. Kelsey emailed me and mentioned that Shirley's expecting. Thanks for telling me. When is she due? And what's this whole thing with Karina being engaged. I don't believe it one bit.

Love yall lots
