The Assistants suggested a pumpkin carving contest. Since President & Sister Tucker love roasted pumpkin seeds, we encouraged the activity. It was a beautiful day and any excuse to spend a little time in the Sun was well worth it.

Good Time to Visit the South
Elder & Sister Staheli our Area Medical Advisor and wife spent the week with us as we toured the mission. They offered flu shots to the missionaries and visited with those who had medical concerns while President Tucker interviewed the missionaries. Saturday we had some spare time so we took them to Mama Hamils, a yummy place to eat Southern Food. Elder & Sister Tucker had some special guests as well, we all had a fun day together.
Vehicles . . . .
These are some specialty vehicles we have seen the past couple of weeks – I find it odd that the Chevy Blazer has “antique car” license plates

Street Sign in Vicksburg
Missionaries always seem to find unique street signs to take pictures of and we are no exception. On our way home from Vicksburg we found this sign and I had to get a picture of it. (Sister Tucker’s maiden name is Clayton)
Vicksburg Ward
We had a wonderful Sunday with the Vicksburg Ward. After Sacrament Meeting, we attended the Spanish Sunday School Class with our missionaries. After church we ate lunch with the Bishop’s family. These boys got their favorite treat – Jello, for being good during church.

Homeward Bound
After serving their best, and with a strong desire to see their families, these faithful missionaries prepare to return home. We always miss them, but know we will be eternally linked for serving together in the Mississippi Jackson Mission.

Transfers
Some of the missionaries, including all of the new missionaries meet at the Jackson Stake Center, in Clinton. Some climb on the transfer van while others drive to their new area with their companion. Pictures are often taken of a missionaries family tree. In this picture Sister LeBaron poses with Sister Hanley who she trained, Sister Harding who Sister Hanley trained and Sister Hawkes who Sister Harding will train (4 Generations).

Collins Branch
Today we visited the Collins Branch, we were surprised to find Sister Shakespeare and Baggett who had decided to return to Collins to visit the members. The Relief Society was excited to greet them. They both completed their missions over a year ago.

Bike Accident
We are happy Elder Hatch had his helmet on when he flew over the front of his bike! His injuries could have been even worse! He had his accident on Thursday and started training a new missionary the following Tuesday, his new companion has had some great opportunities to serve him while he recovers.
