Gulfport, Mississippi

This was an exciting week, we had Dr. & Sister Wolsey tour our mission, we said good bye to the Louisiana's and welcome to the Swinsens who will be working on Kessler AFB. Fun lunch after Zone Conference at the Blow Fly. The Friendship Oak survived huricane Katrina.

New Boston Texas

New Boston Texas, we saw some deer in the field across the street from the Elder's apartment. It was great to meet with two of our shorter missionaries. And see those familiar Texas Road Signs. President Tucker is a little "trunkie" from Texas, but that will be over soon. Here we are with our Atlanta & New Boston Missionaries.

Texarkana & Texas

We finally made it to Texarkana, once I saw Texas I wanted to go back to my old mission. Sister Tucker made me turn around and stay in our mission boundary. We visited Atlanta & New Boston as well.

Kosciusko & Welcome Elder Terry

Also here are some of the members of the Kosciusko Branch, we spoke there and had a wonderful day with them. August we welcomed Elder Terry to the Mississippi Jackson Mission, here he is having breakfast with the office Elders.

The Gang at Gloria's Kitchen

Gloria is in the red, she is the boss, then the rest are parking lot staff, and I assume Gloria's significant other who also works. We had one of those unforgettable experiences. They were so kind and gracious.

Dinner is Served

Here is an inside view of our experience at Gloria's Kitchen in Jackson, Mississippi. They of course are "cash" only, luckily Elder Lyman had his emergency money available, and bought our lunch. We had a great time with everyone.

Gloria's Kitchen Jackson Mississippi

Today was our first Transfer experience, and following our wonderful day we celebrated and broke our fast at Gloria's Kitchen in Jackson, Mississippi. Wonderful gracious friends welcomed us, and after a few pictures we were able to enjoy a meal. This was Elder Lyman and our first transfer experience. Elder White & Jenson are old seasoned veterans. Notice Gloria's Kitchen it was amazing.
