First week in Kentucky

Matthew has been in Kentucky for a week now.  He is assigned to the Owensboro area for at least his first area.  He could stay there for a few months, or be moved around, guess we'll see.  He likes his companion, Elder S (no names will be given on this blog to protect the privacy of those mentioned, so he will be known as Elder S.

I checked their address on Google and went into the street view, isn't technology amazing.  Their apartment is in a nice area, clean and close to shopping.  Matt was told by his Mission President not to worry about buying a bike for now, not until he needs one.  He is in a driving mission for now, so, we'll keep the funds in his account just in case he suddenly has need of a bike.

Letters are slowly trickling in from him, and I am gathering that he is still homesick, but, really wants to know that his family is being blessed by his service.  I have relayed to him how many unexpected blessings we have received since he left.  It really is amazing, new jobs, opportunities opening up, even his sister's graduation plans coming together so smoothly and better than expected.  Just so many blessings.

The packing I did for him ended up not being overpacking, he has had need of everything.  So glad I was able to save him some money by not having to purchase things when he arrived, he could simply focus on getting settled.

On the first day that Matt was in the Mission home, the Mission President's wife took pictures of him and his travel group.

I won't post any pictures I can't edit so, I'll be working on blurring out faces, so I can get a few of them up here, but, this one is just Matt so it's okay.
