St. Ann's Infirmary

Today Elder and Sister Whitehead picked us up so that we could go out to St. Ann's Infirmary.  ATL had arranged to meet us at the Infirmary so that they could drop off two washers, a freezer, a stainless steel sink, a TV, a microwave oven, a blender, a large exhaust fan, and a pressure cooker.  Brian had arranged with the deputy inspector of the poor to meet us out at the Infirmary at 1:00 for a turnover ceremony.   Elder Whitehead took some pictures with the deputy so that he could send the pictures to those who oversee the  Church's humanitarian efforts.  The people at St. Ann's seemed very appreciative as did Lucille, who is the deputy inspector of the poor.  It was fun to be a part of that project.  The Church's humanitarian department do such wonderful projects.  I hope this puts the church in a better light for some of these people in Jamaica.
After we left the Infirmary, we went to lunch with Elder and Sister Whitehead at the Island Grill.  They leave for home next week.  It will be a sad day.

The sisters came over so that Brian could put new windshield wipers on their truck and look at their brake light.  Sister Garrett was feeling pretty sad because she lost a lot of her pictures as she was downloading them.

Yesterday was our Caribbean Conference.  It was excellent.  We got to hear from Elder Anderson, Sister Osgerson, Elder Holland and President Packer.  The internet kept freezing during the talks which was very frustrating.  The emphasis of the meeting centered around the Savior, the family, the church and the temple.  The meeting started at 9:00 and some of our members did not reach church until the closing song. While we were waiting for Brian and Rohan to finish branch business, I played Johnny Lingo for Tracy and her children.  Brian and Rohan came down in time to finish the movie.  It was enjoyed by all.  After we left the building, we took some food to two of our members and then headed back to our Condo for the day.
