We drove around the town today. It really is a lovely town, so rich in history. Everyone we met were so friendly and helpful.  We went to the Post Office to get our mail key and were a bit worried  if they would give it to us.  They wanted some proof we lived there, but we had none.  Fortunately, a member of the bishopric in the next ward worked there and he got it all approved for us.  Yet another blessing.  We will post some pictures soon of the town, with it's wide streets and historic homes.  The temperature today was over 70 degrees, with bright sunshine all day.  Talk about a warm welcome! We are blessed to be serving in Dodge City Kansas. 

Get the heck into...

DODGE!!

That's right, we get to serve in Dodge City, Kansas!!  We couldn't be more thrilled! We met the Branch President tonight...NOT the LONG BRANCH President, hahaha! Right now we are at the McDonald's on Wyatt Earp Blvd., using their wifi because ours isn't set up yet. The people here are so happy to have us here that they've set us up with luxury accommodations. Seriously our apartment is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with a laundry room off the kitchen and a GARAGE. The Branch Pres's wife filled our fridge and we have a brand new bed and the house is completely furnished. They have spoiled us. We will post more later. Tomorrow we will find our way around town....should take us ten minutes.

We are truly blessed!

Our First Sunday on our Mission

We had such a good day!  Went to church with another missionary couple, the Snows.   Such great people!  Then dinner at their house in the evening where we met our mission president, President  Anderson.   We are so blessed to get such a great mission president.  He is kind and intelligent and full of the Spirit.  We had a very nice chat where he gave us our assignment, (to be revealed tomorrow).  We attended a fireside this evening for new members of the church where we were also asked to speak.  A spiritual feast.  Each day keeps getting better than the last.   We love it here and we are so blessed.

We made it!!   We are here in Colorado and are anxious to get started on our mission.  The drive went well and we saw lots of beautiful sights.  Now it's time to get to work. We are blessed.
