News Travels

Justin let us know that he & Elder Carlson had a good productive week.  He was glad to hear that we are finally receiving some rain out in the west.  He said that they had heard that all over the west was burning up with the wildfires.  He told us that they have had some rain, but nothing to serious.

Tie collecting must be the trend of the Elders these days.  Justin stated that they going to hit some more thrift stores to browse ties.  Justin has a collection; he is up to 56 last time he counted.  Crazy Elders...

Justin tried some more okra.  This time it was "pickled."  Claims it was better then boiled for sure.  Mexican type of soup, with hominy, chicken and lime zest; it was pretty good.  The members here in Penscola make sure Elders are well fed and taken care of.  Justin said it really makes the grocery shopping easy.  Milk, powerade and wheat thins was his list for this week.    Justin was braggin' it a little that he has mastered some fine cooking cuisine skills.  He can make a killer stove top quesadilla, and a breakfast bagel / egg mc-muffin thats on steroids....  Been treated to Chinese buffet & red lobster gift card this past week. Spoiled Elders.  Food overdose.

We had busy week.  We taught more lessons this week then in the past four. Makes for good times.  The heat index factor is still hot & humid & sticky crazy stuff.  We will survive..

Justin attended a stake youth conference program; it was the grand finale he said.  The youth produced the whole thing.  It was a pagent type deal about the Joseph Smith story.  What was cool that a non-member was actually playing Joseph Smith's role.  They heard that in dress rehearsal that he actually shared his testimony with the cast; At least thats what the young women's president shared with us Elders.

All in all, many good experiences happening here in Pensacola., and there are sure more to come.

The Elder of Pensacola -  Justin
