Transfer 6 alright! 

First of all good news! Elder Cluff and I are together for the Holidays and through at least the new year! The Destined Divine companionship continues! 

I really don't even know where to begin this week, between Debra's baptism, Thanksgiving, Andrew's confirmation, the kick off for "He is the Gift", the Kentucky Opera, the Science Center, Kentucky just keeps getting better! 

Okay this is going to be a long letter of photos, so let's go back to the beginning of this past week, this the view of our cozy little town of Prestonsburg Kentucky nestled nicely in our little valley, as seen from the Town Branch Bridge over the Big Sandy River. Downtown and the library is strait ahead.

 we are overseeing our area...majestically I know right.
 We also discovered that Elder Cluff is actually related to sister S....they are 5th Cousins! long shot but they they are family and we just baptized her future husband...(even if she doesn't know that yet.)
This is at the Mountain Arts Center, home of the Kentucky Opera, which Sister S is one of the head singers, we were able to attend the opening night show and are meeting with the director to include "He is the Gift" in the show. in the lobby of the the theater they had lots of Christmas displays up for photo ops. Here are a few. 
 Look out, this is going to be one wild ride! 
 ​Did I ever mention Elder Cluff loves Titanic! 

We actually forgot today was p-day so we have an appointment at noon but we will be back about 1:30 today to continue writing this letter. Pray that this appointment works out, his name is Adrian, we are teaching him in the library on the college campus, with Andrew. Exciting!

So for st arters this week The City and County asked us to come so they could present us with a formal certificate of appreciation. and they gave me a copy of this front page headline for the state newspaper...It was fun to talk more with city and county people we worked with now that things are back to normal, I even met someone who lived in logan UT and works at a ski resort in Mountain ops just like I did. Alright so this story will be further elaborated in my written letter, but long story short, Alan tells us his toilet won't flush, so we know  a ward member who can fix any thing, the ward member comes over with a plumbing snake, says well that isn't the problem...he takes a look under the house in the crawl space and discovers a pool of "goodness" (use your imagination) John (the member) tells us what to do and how to do it. and we set to work. First step is we had to break through the old rock foundation of Alan's 1940 home and dig an access trench  to...

I just want to share 3 experiences and 3 miracles in following the spirit. Obedience entitles us to the spirit and then be obedient to the direction from the spirit. We were driving in-route to our apartment for an overdue lunch, when I saw, a mother and her 3 children on her porch and just as fast as I saw them we zipped right on past, but the spirit so immediately said...stop and go talk to them...Not wasting a moment I explained the prompting to Elder Davis who was driving and he parked the car and we walked back...to find the father outside working on his weed-wacker...we simply and honestly explained who we were and that we felt prompted to come back, His simile was so large and he immediately asked..."would you like to meet my family" to which we replied "of course!" and out came three of most adorable little girls and his expectant wife. Charming family, married for 5 years, has a car and a job and recently moved into the neighborhood as  of that we...

So much happened this past couple of weeks and it feels like time just keeps moving faster and time to type gets shorter, I will do my best to sum up a few of the highlights of the weeks. Exchange with Cave Spring Elders/Elder MacDonald's Surgery - An elder in our district Elder MacDonald had been suffering from some headaches and major dizziness for a week or so after some usual remedies didn't work he was recommended to go see a doctor, who after learning his heart rate was dangerously low, he was shortly admitted to Lewis Gale Hospital. The gave us a call shortly after and we met them at the hospital. As this all unfolded it was concluded that Elder MacDonald needed a pacemaker...All went well and after 3 days He was able to return to missionary service and did not have to go home:) As I watched all this unfold I was amazed at how many people involved were touched in little ways. One of the largest was the opportunity to Elder Wilkinson to feel the fulfillment of support...
