Kingston

We had a great time in Kingston.  We were privileged to hear from Elder Martinez of the Seventy.  Both he and his wife were our FHE speakers.  Sister Martinez had all of us tell a story from one of our ancestors.  Sister Summers, who with her husband are our humanitarian couple, told a story from Isaiah Cox who is her ancestor.  We started comparing notes.  She actually came from a different wife of Isaiah than the line I am on.  She told me that she had heard that Isaiah's wives had their sealings cancelled because he had not asked permission from them when he took on another wife.  It was fun talking to her.  I told the experience of Grandma Prince dreaming about the records that she wanted Uncle Wayne to look up when he went back east.

Brian and I decided to attend the Kingston zone conference since we would not be able to hear Elder Martinez at our zone conference.  Both he and Sister Martinez are very inspiring as are President Brown and Sister Brown.  I always enjoy hearing from them.  We left before the lunch as we still needed to make a Pricesmart run before we headed back to Ocho.  Elder Pearson was coming to Ocho at 3:30 to do a temple recommend for one of the sisters in the branch who was going to the states.

Tonight we got to go with the Elders to visit one of their investigators who is getting baptized on Saturday.  She is great.  She is very anxious to start finding her ancestors.  This work is so exciting.
