Hey Fam,
It's been another good week in Ochi. Things are starting to pick up again after the holidays. We Had Nephi's baptism on Saturday morning. It went really well. His mom and his older sister who lives in America were there. We did it in White River which is just east of town. It was a really pretty spot. I got to perform the baptism and the water felt so good I felt like swimming. The whole thing went really well though. Nephi is such a good kid. We also went to a funeral on Saturday with a member family. The funeral ended up being WAY out in the hills. It was pretty cool. The funeral itself was ok. It was pretty tame for a Jamaican funeral. Sometimes they are crazy. On our way out to the funeral we were driving down this narrow road with tall grass on either side and then out of nowhere a big huge rat showed up on the hood of our truck. Speaking of which, on Thursday we traded in the old Nissan Frontier for a brand new Ford Ranger. It's pretty sweet.
Yesterday we had tons of people at church. There was 13 couples from Provo and one couple from England that visited and more than doubled our congregation. We barely had enough chairs. It was a really good meeting, and it was especially good since Nephi was confirmed and a few of our investigators and less-active members we've been working with were there.
This week is transfers again. Time just keeps going quicker and quicker. Elder Randle and I will be staying here in Ochi and Elder Forde will be moving to Kingston. No more tri-panionship. I'm excited to stay here and see what we can do to really help this branch. If it doesn't get better soon it will probably have to close.
Well Fam, Love y'all lots!
Elder Kartchner
