I have not told you about our
apartment. It has two bedroom, a very nice kitchen (small) and
the living room and Dinning room are together. It had been freshly
painted and new flooring and carpet put in. the stove, fridge, and
microwave are new. The living room furniture are new and a very nice
table and chairs, the bedroom furniture is very nice also. We have
a washer and dryer, which is wonderful not having to take our clothes
to a Laundromat.
We walk up 17 steps to our
apartment---but this way we are not hearing footsteps over us all the
time. I appreciate that a lot because our floor is very creaky.
We have some very nice neighbors and a
good safe neighborhood. We could go walking at night and be safe.
We are in a very nice subdivision. This used to be a farm, so the
area is not too old. There are 4 apartment buildings with 8
apartments in each building. The Elders live here and also another
Senior Couple.
there are trees on three sides of the
subdivision. And probably water too. In the wooded area, there
are wild pigs, lots of snakes, raccoons, deer and maybe a few black
bears also. So I do not think I will be walking through the woods
even though they are very pretty---to LOOK at.
The Mission set us up in the apartment
with all of the kitchen supplies that are needed.
There are several groceries stores here
plus a Walmart. Also the gas prices are much lower here than we are
used to. Yesterday we paid $2.69 a gal. It is a good thing it is
low---we have put a lot of miles on our car. Our members live up to
30 minutes away in two different directions. Then to find another
person you need to drive another 20 to 30 mins. The countryside is
very beautiful to look at and even the homes in the towns are
beautiful. So the extra driving is entertaining. Marion does have
the oldest homes. Marion was established in 1789, and some of the
original mansions are still here.
We have been having some wonderful
times with the Elders and Sister Missionaries. They are such great
teachers and love the people. It is really an honor for us to
accompany them on their visits.
We are making great friends and
wonderful memories here.
We miss ya'all take care---love the
Johnston Missionaries
