Dinner fare for one of the local popular eateries, chicken livers and catfish!  Not to much going on this week except a great Zone Conference with Elder Kopischke of the Seventy.  He met with half the mission in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.  It was a great experience that lasted 3 hours but it so interesting that it didn't seem that long.  I had to sit right down front so I could hear and understand.  His accent and quiet voice and quick way of speaking had me struggling to catch it all.
An interesting road sign that McCoy might appreciate.  It lead to a quiet narrow road and a little community called McCoy town.  I should have taken pictures of the road.  It was one of those with trees arching overhead and vines intertwined with the foliage on the side.  It was a little spooky, almost like driving in a tunnel.
A great family we had dinner with Sunday.  It was a celebration dinner because we just made it through speaking in Sacrament Meeting again!  Laura, on Sister Peterson's right, just retired as a school librarian and they have that connection.  She went and helped Laura in her library near the end of school in May.  Laura's husband Jim, served as the bishop when the branch was a ward.  He has since passed away from a heart attack.
This is an interesting estate that we pass occasionally.  Although the picture doesn't show it very well, the home is built of large square logs Kentucky style.  It is a beautiful place and quite a large home but built in the old way.  The following are some more interesting messages we've seen on Church marquees.
            A dusty Bible leads to a dirty life.
            I've never seen a hearse with a luggage rack.
            Exercise daily, walk with God.
            The Bible is the best TV Guide
            Worry is the darkroom in which negatives develop.
            Free Trip to Heaven - details inside.
           The Ten Commandments are not The Ten Suggestions!
We get a kick out of these little messages as we drive around the area.  It gives a little boost and interest to our daily travels.  The signs are everywhere because there are so many Protestant Churches here.  When we see a different or catchy one, we write it down.
