September 5th - 11th

Monday, September 5th:  Since it is Labor Day we didn't have p-day today, but we did feed Elders Hanson & Brannon and Tristen breakfast, and we enjoyed being together. We are going to miss these guys! We had our last district meeting in Stockbridge. Afterward we took all the Elders to the Hibachi Grill. We found out that we can't invite the sisters with the Elders, so we have made a special effort to take them out at a different time. We had supper with the Knight's and the missionaries.

Tuesday, September 6th: So today is our p-day and Elder Sadler took Tristen & the Elders bowling. I took the blue honda in for service. Elder Sadler worked with Tristen more on family history and stayed up again past 1:00 a.m. getting names ready to take to the Temple tomorrow. Sister Foote called about getting us a book and again thanked us for our service.

Wednesday, September 7th:  We took Tristen to the Temple and had another wonderful day. I bought Tristen a cover for his quad. After leaving the Temple, Tristen's dad met us on the grounds. He seems very nice. On the way home we visited with Steve Dotson in the hospital in Covington and Elder Sadler gave him a blessing. Later he assisted Elder Brannon in giving Tristen's Aunt Debbie a blessing. I went the grocery store and got some boxes so I could start packing.

Thursday, September 8th: We got special permission to go to Barry & Toni's so we could go to Dylan's reception, which was well attended. We were so grateful to be able to go.

Friday, September 9th: We had some free time so we decided to go house hunting! We had fun looking at houses in McCalla and Million Dollar Lakes areas. We ate supper with the family, then went the football game and saw Danielle & Dallas in the band.

Saturday, September 10th: We drove to the chapel for Dylan to be set apart by President Johnson.  President Johnson gave Dylan a very spiritual blessing. Danielle, Dallas, and Bobby were very emotional. Elder Sadler drove Barry, Toni, and Dylan to the airport and later drove back to Jackson. There was a traffic jam in Atlanta.

Sunday, September 11th: We took Tristen to Stake Conference at the building on Lake Jodeco Road. It was a great meeting. Sister Tamara Jones was called to be the new stake Relief Society President! We came home, ate, rested, and planned the next few days.
