Texarkana Texas or Arkansas
Someone was creative when this town was formed and decided to have half of the town in Arkansas and half in Texas. We decided to check out the boundary marker and here is what we found.

Transfer Day-Welcome Back Elder Evans
A day full of adventure! First thing in the morning our new missionaries travel to Clinton and meet some of the other missionaries, and climb aboard the transfer van. Some of the sisters are quick to gather for a photo opt with the new sisters. Later we made a trip to the airport so that Elder Higgs could began his travel to Mexico where he will complete his mission. A couple of hours later we made another trip to the Airport, this time to get Elder Evans who has been home recovering from knee surgery.

Better Pictures of our Assistants
After a Trainer Training meeting at the Clinton Meetinghouse, we went back to the rear of the parking lot for photos of our assistants. It is so beautiful and would make a perfect setting for a temple :)

Welcome to our newest members of the Jackson Branch! Elders Hosea and Bendel, along with Elders Green and Eisinger have been busy preparing them for baptism.
Mission Presidents Seminar–Atlanta, Georgia
Leaving mission boundaries is a big deal, especially when it only happens two times a year. We had the opportunity to drive to Atlanta and attend our last Seminar. We will miss the wonderful training by our leaders and association with the other mission presidents and wives in our Area. This was also the last Seminar for President & Sister Satterfield, President & Sister Cotterell, and President & Sister Thomas.
