We're Home for the Next Three Years!

We're home in Tallahassee, Florida. This beautiful home represents the history and southern charm here in Tallahassee. It is so green and lush everywhere you look! Of course, that could be because it has been raining cats and dogs since we arrived. The sun is just beginning to show itself for the first time since our arrival on Tuesday. This incredible tree in our front yard dates back to the civil war. There has been MUCH to do since arriving, but we have had excellent preparation from President and Sister Jensen, and are SOOO grateful to them for everything they have done for us and for the mission. They are WONDERFUL! We only hope to be able to fill their shoes. We would not have made it through the very first day without the help of GREAT Assistants, Elders NORTON, RHOADES, and BLANCHARD. And a BIG THANKS to Elders BUCHANAN and HELGESEN for all of their tech work on our computers, phones, etc. WOW!! Couldn't be more impressed with these wonderful Elders. Our office couple, the MOWERS are wonderful people! We are so grateful to be working with so many great and dedicated people. We are working on settling into our new assignment, and all of the crazy components that come along with that, but we will be traveling into the Mission beginning next Tuesday to meet all of our missionaries. Can't wait! We'll post pictures of all of our Zones, after our visit. And, it's raining cats and dogs again . . . . . .
