Sister VanOrden and I arrived in Franklin , Pennsylvania this afternoon. I will touch on our journey and then our messages after this will be about our mission.
I-80 is a good way to cross the country. It cost a total of $23.60 in tolls. I would have gladly paid more. The toll roads and turnpikes were a lot more convenient to travel on. The farmer in me thoroughly enjoyed driving through all the farm country.
We went to church in Des Moines , Iowa. We were pleasantly surprised at the strength of the church there. There were 3 wards in the building and the ward we attended had the overflow open with chairs part way back in the cultural hall. They had just split the Stake and there is talk ( church gossip?) of their ward being divided. There were a lot of hog farms along I-80 in Ohio. There was a little bit of an inversion and you could smell them long before you saw them.
Franklin is a small town surrounded by other small towns. There is a pretty good population here , they’re just spread out. They have a huge Walmart that I was blessed to visit with Sister VanOrden. I finally threw in the towel and just hung around the produce section while she shopped. The potatoes were shipped by Basin Gold and they were atrocious. Next time we go shopping I’m going to complain to the manager about their poor selection of potatoes.Sister VanOrden said next time we go to Walmart I’m going to be invited to sit in the car and read my scriptures while she shops. We have District Council in the morning and our Mission begins.
We appreciate your friendship, love, and support.
