From Marilyn:
You may have seen the recent news coming out of Jamaica regarding some civil unrest. Brandon mentions it in his email (the next post).
After last week's email from Brandon, we received an email from Elder and Sister Cheesman, who are a couple missionary in the office. They explained that last Monday was Labour Day in Jamaica, a holiday, and many internet cafes were closed. Some missionaries were unable to email. They sent their assurances that all the missionaries in Jamaica were safe, and still doing missionary work. The unrest has been localized in a specific area of Kingston (since then, it has spread a little). Brandon is located pretty far from Kingston and has not seen any violence.
We thought it was very cool that the Cheesmans would send out that email to parents of missionaries, and keep us informed. We are not worried about him, and feel at peace with him there. Please keep him in your prayers.
