This is a picture of most of the Relief Society sisters in our branch. We had a training meeting with them about food storage and afterward had a 24th of July meal we prepared for them and some of their husbands. The branch president was so impressed with potato salad that he came back several times for more. These people know how to eat.

Dry pack food storage
We are teaching a large group of sisters about food storage. Jamaica has two dry pack seal machines for the two districts and we are trying to train the members about food storage. The main problem is they don't have anything to store and nowhere to store it. We try to instill in the members to at least store a little even if for just a few days. Many have lived through hurricanes and other disasters without food so they know it's important to store something. Many have little or no money to buy and store a great amount. They read in the Ensign about a years supply and are dumbfounded that anyone could actually do that let alone afford to do so.
Humble home
We have two large districts in Jamaica. This is the District President on the West side of the island. He is very poor but a spiritual giant. This is a house he is going to move in just the way it is because he can't afford to finish it right now. He has 4 kids and will live in two small rooms with no water close by or electricty. It will take him years to finish the whole house but he will do it.

Young Single Adults
We spent a couple of days with 165 young single adults on the North shore of Jamaica. Here is Sister Whitehead checking in and giving the young people name tags. It was really enjoyable to see these young people enjoy themselves. Many of these kids have never seen this part of the island or stayed in a hotel before. This is an event held every year so the young people can get together and meet (hopefully some of will marry and stay in Jamaica).
