Well, how I got so many ties? First from elders who are getting rid of them, second from gifts from cool members, and third the thrift stores! Alabama has lots of good thrift stores, and whenever I see a cool tie for cheap I am tempted to buy it! I'm not going to be buying anymore ties, I am alright with the amount right now and so I am going to refuse the temptation. Callaway is great, temperature is awesome, but for the past half week it's been raining. I like it though. We have Callaway and Panama City in our area. Not Panama City Beach, just Panama City. It is tons bigger than Ozark, population wise. We are right close to the Gulf, but we don't see it too often. I already love serving with Elder Harrer, it may seem weird that we are together, but this area needs a lot of help, and there are plenty of other Elders that can train. He has prepared the area really well though, this is his fourth transfer, so he's coming up on six months here. And yes I did request him!

I think saying goodbye is one of the hardest things, because you make lots of close friends, and if you don't tell them you are leaving, some of them get mad! haha. But I was able to call some people and get pictures with others. It was good!

We are working with a couple families, and several other investigators. We have 7 BCDs, that's a lot, and satan is working real hard on all of them. I can see the huge change they are going through, and I've only been here for 5 days! We have already had some awesome experiences.

So who are the Taggart's? Is Sally the lady you work with at Bountiful? It sounds familiar, but can't see a face. And why did Tag's parents name him after their last name? Very interesting.... :)

Well y'all don't have to worry about me, we are staying in a high class apartment, and the members give us food plus the meals they feed us, and also a member takes us shopping the first of every month. I was excited to hear that! I am really going to enjoy being here, if we could get the members more involved it would be perfect!

I'll take some pictures for y'all, hopefully they will show the place well. Love y'all and I pray for you everyday! And we'll just have to have patience with Ashton, he'll make the right choice!
