NOTE FROM PATTY: Brandon did not write this week, it's about transfer time, so I am wondering where he is for sure. I am working a night shift and finally had time to catch up his blog.

Well, like I said, we are having two baptisms this weekend. One is the wife of a guy who has been a member for 10 years (no idea why she's not baptized yet) and the other is a guy named Boxer that was being taught a long time ago but didn't get baptized becasue he had to work some stuff out. But everything is good for saturday, and he should be going down. Well, that is about it. I can't really think of anything else to tell you.

One of the baptisms went as planned, but the other guy didn't show up. It was the important one that happened, though. It was the wife of a member who has been baptized for 10 years. They are preparing to go to the temple. Thanks for getting all that stuff sent. Make sure the camera isn't super nice, just in case.
So this past week was zone conference. We spent 2 days in St. Lucia. Just hopped on a plane and headed to a different country. It was pretty sweet. We set a lot of goals to get more less active people back to curch, and get more people to the temple. I think that West Indian retention may be the lowest in the world. Out of 10000 members, the are only about 2800 that are active. And only about 500 that have went to the temple. And alot of them aren't even active. But, the work is great.

Well, that's great to hear about Andrew and Tristan. Is there anyone else from around Grace that has got there call lately? I heard Colby got his a while back.Work here is pretty good. Boxer, the man I told you about that skipped his baptism, didn't come to church, so we are going to go over and tell him he can't get baptized if he doesn't come to church. Even though he said he still wants to get baptized. But there are a few other people you could pray for. A girl named Michelle is loving the Gospel, she has came to church twice, and if she is going to be in church on this sunday, then she may get baptized this weekend. But she may not be there cause she's going to Trinidad, and we aren't sure when she'll be back. So pray for her, and also Sister Grant. She is the daughter of a member and her son is also a member, but she has reservations about being baptized, because she has already been baptized in another church.Well, love you. Kepp me updated on everything, and I'll talk to you next week.
