We spent our first week with this great couple, the Sherwoods from Gilbert Arizona. This is the couple we will be attempting to replace. Although we learned right away that we will never replace them. They have done so much for the branch. They will be sooooo missed. Especially by us. They were so fun to be with and made us feel so welcome. In our one week together, they introduced to both branches, brought us to the branch beach party, let us help prepare the food for the zone conference, showed us where members lived, how to drive on the other side of the road, introduced us around to business owners around town, took us out to eat, gave us the city tour, gave us insights to each of the members, taught us about paper work and reports, cooked for us, helped us get our cel phone taught us the local terms and generally took such good care of us. They are so loved and will be so missed. It is up to us to keep going what they have worked so hard to establish here. We have big shoes to fill, but we will give it our best shot.

Thanks Jeralie & Scot for keeping us informed of your Mission.

Wonderful idea of the blog; better than having to publish a journal. Now that you've learned to drive on the 'other side', are there 'round-a-bouts' to get mixed up in?
What a blessing for Scot to have a great source for Coke! It truly must be paradise; or a close second to the paradise of the Okanagan !
Take care; we and the Penticton Ward are missing you too!
Love to you both; Larry and Elaine

This is a great way to keep track of the both of you!! We are glad things are going well and you are both happy. I'm sure you will fill the shoes just fine. We are babysitting two grandchildren while their parents are in Mexico--something wrong with this picture!!
The patience is not what it used to be!! Take care and love you lots. val and richard

Thanks so much for the blog to keep in touch. Isn't it great the way God thinks of and supplies things for our comfort, like the Coke. I can't wait to see what you'll be doing with the Ward for Christmas. Stay strong and FROG it. [Fully rely on God} Love, Colleen Castle
