This week Jason paid the rent for the 126 apartments and I
went with him into the city to purchase the Transit Authority River City (TARC)
bus passes. They are sold at the old Union Train Station. It is a
beautiful old building. We purchase a lot of bus passes each month for the
Elders and Sisters who work in Louisville and don't have a vehicle.

We have
been gone from home for almost 2 months. The time seems to fly by. This
area is starting to feel like home. We do love having a small apartment. It's
easy to take care of. We are learning our jobs at the office. I can
finally do mail merge without reading the instructions. Jason can drive places
without using the GPS. Today was our first P-Day that we have had off. It was
good to have time to clean the house and be able to go for a drive
someplace beside to the office and back. We drove south to Fort Knox,
Radcliff and Elizabethtown. These are towns we have missionaries in. We hope to
make it to all the areas where the missionaries serve, so we can know a little
about the area when we talk to them. We also stopped and ate lunch in a little
town called West Point. This town is on the Ohio River and floods
frequently. We ate at the Star Café. For those who are civil war
history buffs this is also the place where Sherman had his headquarters during
the Civil War. We took some pictures to show how high the water was when
the Ohio River floods. This town has been flooded so many times they put
the high water marks of each flood on the flag pole in the park. This
town also ties back to Abraham Lincoln's father. Elizabeth Town or E
Town as the locals refer to it was also a major civil war battle ground.
On Sunday we drive people to church. We teach the
Gospel Principles class every week. After church, we take people home
and come back to the church to feed the 4 full time elders serving in
our branch. We have been shopping and making soup all evening to get
ready for that. Sunday night we will take some missionaries and investigators
to the fireside over by the office. It makes for a full day.
I get to teach an investigator from the ward with the sister missionaries on
Monday night. Now that we are learning our mission office jobs, we have a
little more time to help the missionaries in our branch. We are excited
that soon we are getting another Senior couple to help in our branch.

And the last picture is of me with the daily mail, we get a lot of mail.
Love reading this. Just 1 question for Jason, why the bat? Intimidation? Boredom? Looks scary to me. :)
