We have been blessed with a very comfortable home. If we did not appreciate it when we first arrived, we surely do now we have been out and seen what some people live in. The homes run the gamet of elegant old Southern Mansions to well-built modern homes to modular homes to trailers that have seen a better day to run down shacks.

| Our Home |
This home was built by our landlady's mother when she did not want to live in the old mansion anymore. She had it built just the way she wanted and we could not be more pleased.

Lane in front of the House.
Our landlady lives down there. |
There is a great room with sitting, dining, kitchen and office areas all in one. The master bedroom, walk-in closet, and bath are all large and comfy. There is an extra bedroom we hardly use.

| Our First Dinner in our Marianna Home |
Our first week was a blast. I learned to not wear my sandals every where. We are very happy to have brought the Sequoia. The GPS is not always accurate. Homes can hide in the bushes. Paved roads become dirt very fast. Trees grow moss. Floors of trailers rot out and if you cover the hole with carpet, you won't fall through; this time. Bugs bite, lots of bugs. People said, "Bugs." I thought cockroaches. Not even. A good bug guy is a MUST HAVE. Henry is not the only one with a large girth. There is beauty all around. Cardinals do not like to have their pictures taken.

My best attempt yet at getting a picture of a cardinal.
May take 18 months to perfect. |
We have truly been blessed to have some wonderful Elders and Sisters to show us the way. Their
testimonies shine out with their enthusiasm for the gospel and dedication to the work. We have been the beneficiary of their success and have 3 new members whom we are teaching the new member lessons.
 |
Our first Elders.
Cannon, , Washington, Utah; Nelson, Santa Clara, Utah;
Carlson, Delta, Utah |
 |
Our first Sisters
Wood, Provo, Utah; Jensen, Preston, Idaho |
Whether we live in Florida or the "Couv" our testimonies burn brightly. Our hope is that we can use this base to help others learn of Christ, come unto him and become one with the Saints of God for we know that is the path to true happiness.
