We are here

We are here.  We had no internet hook up until today Nov 18th, but we got here on Thursday night. Elder and Sister Wilcox (our trainers so to speak) were at our apartment to meet us as we drove into the parking lot of our apartment complex.  They we so great. They had a little dinner ready for us and helped us unload the car. In 10 minutes we had everything out of the car... no "Elders Quorum move" necessary : )  but it was sure nice to have their help.  We got the apt. pretty well set up before Friday, and Saturday we did a little food shopping and drove around a bit trying to learn the lay out of the city.  It is CRAZY. 

We spent 8 hours in Church yesterday.  Visited 2 Ward Council Meetings, two Sacrament mtgs, one correlation meeting, 1 1/2 Sunday school lessons, 1 RS meeting and a genealogy Fireside.  Today we sat in on the 1st Resiliency Training lesson given by Elder & Sister Wilcox. They will give one more lesson and then we will be taking over because they are leaving. There is an entire Military ward and two other wards with several military members in them all meeting in the Stake Center. But there's about 3 other wards that have military members with no Senior Missionaries so we will have to see if we can help them out too. We will be working with less active members and doing many other things... much to learn.  We are happy and doing great.  Next post has a version of our trip across the country:
