15 March

Well here it is Sunday again. It is the 15th of March already boy the time is flying really fast. We were called by our supervisor on Wednesday to see if we would start working 5 days a week in Elberton. We were happy to do it. We will miss serving in the temple 2 times a week but we know we were called to serve as imaging missionaries. So we will serve. We are trying I to decide whether to move out there or not. Do we want to put the miles on the car or stay close to Atlanta with our friends we have made in the apartment. There are two things to look at. We could go and expand our horizon by moving, meet new see new places, or at least some of the new place. Elberton is a very small town, the big thing to see is the new grocery called Ingles. Not to much of anything else. Pretty country, but very small town. It is a two hour drive one way, we work about 7 hours and then it is home again. Oh what to do what to do!!!
The weather has been cold and rainy but we are not complaining as they really need the water. We went from 80 to 45. But the trees are being stubborn and are continuing to bud. Pretty pinks, reds and whites all over the hills.(or valleys) It is going to be beautiful when it is truly spring.
I have been sewing made a little quilt and now am going to start a couple of baby blankets to crochet around. Hope I can remember how to do the edge.
I read to Paul daily as we are driving. We have read several books and now are reading about Abraham Lincolns wives family and the civil war. She had 14 brothers and sisters and half were for the south and the other were for the north. It has been interesting. It makes the time go quickly.
As always we are busy and blessed. All is going well here and at home. We have been out over 6 months now and it is flying. Still we think about home and all that is going on there.
We are pretty isolated here and just going about the same routine. Paul makes a comment once a while "it seems like we have done this before" remember ground hog day. You keep going until you get it right. Hopefully we will get it right.
My friend at Relief Society gave me a great thought which has made me really consider all things. "Live in such a way, that those who know you but don't know Christ, will want to know Christ because they know you." So I leave that thought with each of you for the day and the week. Love to all
