After leaving Memphis we went to Oklahoma and stayed with our friends, the Jacobs. We visited the Oklahoma bombing memorial which was very touching.

Groundhog Day 2009

Well Groundhog Day really draws the tourists. Whoever marketed this idea was a genius. I think the proceeds keeps the town alive for the rest of the year.

Another wonderful family

This is Natalie (8 yr), April and John Shuey our latest convert baptisms. They are wonderful people. April is the daughter of Tom and Linda Bittle.

We ate at an Amish kitchen. The food was delicious and so inexpensive. They allowed me to take a picture as long as their backs were turned away.

Tom and Linda Bittle were baptized by Elder Rose June 19th, 2008. They were so happy and radiated! We were so happy for them. They just wanted a very small service--5 of us were there. We went out for lunch afterwards. They can hardly wait to go to the temple next year.
