                                          General Conference

                                          Some members from Ochi


                                          Country Breakfast

Interesting week this week.  President Hendricks was gone for a couple of days in the Dominican Republic so Elder Kraus and I had to play mission president for 7 new missionaries that landed on Friday.  President asked us to interview them and assign trainers to them while he was gone.  It was pretty cool but at the time it was stressful. But it's nice to know that you aren't the one assigning trainers, it's the Lord, so it was pretty cool. It's weird being around new missionaries, it made me wonder what I was like when I first came. Well, I love my new area, Kingston is awesome and the Constant spring branch is awesome. So many cool people here and there are a lot.  I'm really trying to learn everybody's name. Kingston is a really cool city.  I think that I'm really going to like it here. There are awesome members and investigators and recent converts to work with and I'm excited to help them and work with them.  After doing interviews and trainers, Saturday morning we did orientation for the new missionaries,  We then drove 4 of them to their new areas. We drove 2 to Spanish Town, one all the way to Port Antonio and the other all the way to Mo bay. Check out a map of Jamaica and you can see the distance. We were in the car for like 9 hours.  Guess whose turn it was to drive...yup. It was a lot of fun though.
