Thanks family for all the emails and birthday wishes. I feel really old - practically a fossil - at least I assume I will tomorrow.
Yesterday I had the best birthday present. We had Vaughn's baptism after church and it was so good. It was one of the coolest baptisms I've had on my mission. We had good support from the branch. about 40 people stayed after church for the baptism. Our branch president did the actual baptism since he and his wife were involved in fellowshipping. His girlfriend, who is a returned missionary, also came up from Portmore. It was all super cool. We are so excited for Vaughn. He is an all-star and will make an awesome member. He should be confirmed and ordained a priest this next sunday. There's nothing like a baptism to get people excited about missionary work. after the baptism the branch president pulled us aside and gave us a list of referrals.
We're making progress with some of our other investigators. We've been meeting with them and have had some really good lessons. We had a few of them at church - not near as many as we were hoping for - but it was still good. Things are going well. we have a bunch of good investigators and a bunch of good potentials. We are also pretty excited because we found out yesterday that one of the guys we started teaching while Elder Worley and I were in Spanish Town for those two weeks, should be getting baptized soon.
Well, I haven't got any birthday envelope yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled. It should be a good birthday anyway. Elder Worley and I are thinking of going out to a place called Natural Bridge which is just outside of Linstead.
Love y'all lots. Have a great week.
Elder Kartchner
