We had another good week in Ochi, in spite of the rain. It rained most of the week, but we managed. Things are going well. We have a few good referrals and others that we are beginning to teach, so we'll hopefully begin to see some results fairly soon.
This week we had zone conference. President Hendricks spoke about the main concern the Brethren have with the church experiencing growth, but not real growth. The church is growing amazingly fast numerically, but many of those baptized are not being retained as a result of a lack of true conversion or a lack of understanding of repentance among other things. This is definitely the biggest problem we have in Jamaica. If you noticed in conference, several of the speakers addressed the issue of Real Growth. Anyway, our meeting was very good and opened my eyes a little bit more.
As for Mother's Day, I was thinking that I don't really need to call since I'll be home soon anyway. Ok, Just kidding. Skype would be the easiest thing for me. We'll have to do it in the evening. We'll probably use the same member's computer as last time so hopefully it works better this time.
Have a great week. Love you lots!
Elder Kartchner
