Zone Conference Kingston

Here is the two Zones that had Zone Conference last week - loved being with so many of the great missionaries of the Jamaica Kingston Mission! We said goodbye to Elder and Sister Flake - going home to AZ!! When we took the mail to Ocho Rios this is how we found Elder Randel and Elder Kartchner - street contacting and giving out Book of Mormon's - way to go Elders!!

Baby chicks!

Today the Whiteheads came out from Kingston and brought 250 chicks for us to help deliver to our coops - new and not so new. This is the coop that our family helped build a week ago! Elder Whitehead said it was one of the best! The baby chicks are so cute and yellow and fluffy - we also provide two feeders and water containers for the projects.

At the Airport

This morning we got us very early and drove to Montego Bay to take the Kreober's back to the airport ... they should be home in Provo around midnight tonight. We had a really good time and we hope some more family and friends can visit!! Eli and Isaac made 'temples' out of the dominoes when we were finished playing with them. So loved having grandchildren around - seems very quiet at our house now!

Frosting Cookies

I saved some of the Christmas cookies in the freezer for when Eli and Isaac came to visit -- so after Church today we frosted and sprinkled cookies!! Here is Isaac with his and Eli with his - Grandma is loving having grandchildren to frost cookies with!

Junction Primary

Here is Eli and Sebastian, a ten year old in our branch. Kalani (three years old) was fascinated with Isaac - loved sitting by him and felt his hair often! Isaac was good about it - his best friend next door in Provo is also named Kalani. We had a ball game after making choices in Primary - Here is the whole Primary - quite a change from Eli and Isaac's usual Edgemont Fourth Ward Primary!!

More YS Falls

While Heather and Chris and Eli went on the 5 zip lines, Isaac and Keenyn and Grandpa and Grandma played at the children's pool - really nice mineral spring water - clear and warm...We had lunch at the end of the ride back to the van ...Heather and Chris liked this lots better than Dunn's River Falls on the North side of the island.

YS Falls

We had a great time today at YS Falls - two British Gentlemen owned a large part of land - Yates and Scott - so it is YS ranch now...and YS River and YS Falls - shortest word in Jamaica the cashier said. We rode a 'jittney' pulled by a tractor up a road to the water...really nice natural spring swimming pools - one just 3-4 feet for the children. Chris and Heather and Eli went on the 5 zip lines - usually the limit was 9 years old but Eli was big enough and had a ball. One lady in their group got too scared and didn't do it! We passed 100 year old trees on the way - great scenery.
