Justin didn't really didn't share a ton this last little while. Justin did inform us the the Quincy "trio" of the English Elders will still be a trio through the next set of transfers; after that is the unknown.
Justin told us that the trio is getting along well.
Sounds like the Elders are going to be moving to a new pad in Quincy within the next few weeks; from what Justin has explained to us, they have been actually working on there new place; located right next to the Decembrino's house. It seems the Elders Quorum president (Brother Decembrino) is going to be their new landlord. So, The Elders living next to the Elders?? Anyways, they have been helping to rip out the old carpet in preparation of some new, and I would imagine a few other minor projects.
Justin told us the Decembrino's are super cool. They are Italian, awesome cooks; they used to do catering and weddings. They have us for over for dinner every week.
Hope for more pictures this coming week.

WOW !! Slackin' on the posts here.
What else to say other then December is a crazy month.
Justin started this month off with a transfer from Pensacola to Quincy. In the drop off & pick-up areas in the mission for transfers, Justin ran into Bart Brimhall; One of Anthony's cousins. Bart was taking the Elders from his area down to the transfer spot. He knew Justin was in the mission, but had no clue as what area he was serving in. Bart recognized Elder Brimhall at the transfer spot & snapped some pictures on his phone, along with a short voice message and sent them to us. What a nice surprise.
Justin sounded really good on his call home for Christmas. They are continually being fed by the members of the Quincy branch.
Quincy branch is around 20 - 30 members Justin tells us. With the missionaries almost being a quarter of that. They have a set of Spanish Elders also in Quincy; along with the trio; makes up 5 Elders for that little town.
Christmas was good for Justin; the mission had a get together and he was able to see MTC companions and prior companions and they were fed by the members. One member family has adopted a tradition of having the Missionaries over for dinner and then having them help decorate the tree in the house and then moving out into the yard and decorating a rather large tree in the yard. Justin now has been introduced to "tinsel" The Elders covered the tree in the yard.
Hopefully we will get a few more pictures in the near future.
