It's been another good week in Ochi. The weather has been awesome - not too hot. We had a good week in missionary work too. Our investigators Charmain, Alecia, and Grace are all doing very well. Charmain should be baptized in the next few weeks. Alecia is doing awesome but just had a baby so she hasn't been able to come to church. Grace is doing well but she's had to work almost every sunday. We fasted with her this last Sunday for her to be able to work out a way to come to church and already this week her work schedule got changed so she should have off most Sundays. We also found a family that we are teaching and they came to church yesterday for the first time and loved it. When I say family I mean the mom and kids - that's as close as we can get.
We spent the day on Wednesday in Montego Bay working with the elders there. We had Zone Conference this last Thursday here in Ochi. It was really good. President Hendricks explained the doctrine of "Grace" in a way that I've never understood before. He also talked about how to improve our prayer relationship with God and to help our investigators do the same.
We're still going strong on our working out in the morning. Elder Randle and I have gone every morning this week. I've also borrowed the keyboard from the church and I've decided to relearn the piano so I can play for church. This singing along with the CD's is getting old.
As for the Larsens, I've heard the name, but I haven't met them yet because I think they just got here. As for the zone leader thing, it's ok. I enjoy having a truck anyway. besides that it just eats up a lot of time driving and such. our zone covers from Montego Bay to Port Antonio - the whole north coast.
Congrats on the calling mom. Stake RS presidency huh? you must be important. I wish we had a stake.Oh, could you send me Grandma and Grandpa's mailing address? I think I have it somewhere but can't find it. Thanks.
Love you all lots!
Elder Kartchner
