Arrival in Memphis, Tennessee



We arrived in Little Rock the night of the 24th of March. We met with Elder Petersen, President of the Little Rock Arkansas Mission on the morning of the 25th. He and Sister Petersen are wonderful people, as are the office staff and the assistants. What a blessing to be welcomed into the arms of such spiritual love. 

Later in the morning off we drove to Memphis, Tennessee, to serve in the Memphis 2nd Ward. Thanks to our i phone we found our apartment in Olive Branch, Mississippi. We unpacked and got a few groceries. It was nice to get out of the car and eat our own cooking.
Here are some cute and funny apartment pictures.

Wednesday, March 26th, we called the Elders in our ward (four of them) to come for dinner that night and a short meeting. They are awesome young men, spiritually prepared to serve their Father in Heaven and preach Christ's love. They talked with us about the area and the opportunities for helping others. We are excited to serve together as a team to further the work of the Lord.

Thursday, March 27th, we met with the Church Education Area Supervisor. He is a devoted man and knowledgeable about the area. We are so blessed to have such great resources as support. I did laundry today and made Elder Monson's favorite granola. I don't understand the P-day concept. I can get the housework done while I am cooking dinner. I don't need a P-day. But I'll go with the program, whatever it is. :}

We are having lots of fun. It's great to go with the young Elders. They are so fun. More in another day or so.  Blessings to everyone.
