We have arrived in Morgantown, Kentucky and took some pictures at the entrance to the town.  Morgantown claims to be the catfish capital of the world.  The Green River is a good-sized river with lots of catfish and there is a big fishing tournament this summer.  It is beautiful country and the trees behind the sign are indicative of the country side.

                              

There is a nice church in Morgantown.  The chapel is actually larger than our Springdale Chapel.  At one time Morgantown was a ward.  Sometime ago it was split into three branches.  The branch here has 150 members with about 60 active.  Fortunately it has a sattelite dish so we could watch conference and we watched all sessions.  It was great and we really enjoyed conference.

There have not been elders in this town for awhile.  Traveling elders work the area once a week but we are the first assigned here in this branch for quite awhile.  This is our little home away from home.  It was all the branch members could find but all are trying to help us find something better.  It is quite new and decent but very small with very little storage.  It has bunk beds in one end where we have put everything.  Our bed is full size and stuffed back against the wall in a small room.  Grandma can't put her leg out to cool off so there have been a few rumblings, but so far we are enduring well and may live here for awhile.

We gave our first discussion Saturday between conference sessions.  The traveling elders have been teaching a 13 year old girl and they had a conflict so we filled in for them.  We met the Oakleys, a senior couple 25 miles north of us and we met the Austins who live in Bowling Green.  The Austins are good friends of Brent and Candace in Logan.  They were really fun and Vicki really hit it off well with Sister Austin.  We should have fun with them on p-days.  We are doing fine and having an adventure.

Love, Dad and Mom
