Welcome to TEXAS!

As soon as we stepped off the plane, President and Sister Sagers were there ready to greet and meet us.  They were so kind and welcoming.  We gathered our luggage and piled it high in the Assistants truck.  When the Assistants offered for Jacob to ride with them, he didn't hesitate and jumped right in.  The rest of us climbed into President Sager's car, soon to be President Ames car.  It didn't take long to feel at ease and were just in a daze.  First, we were treated to an an amazing barb-e-que meal..Texas style, where we continued to talk with the Sagers, and receive as much counsel/advice as possible!!  We then headed straight to the Mission Office where we greeted the office Senior couples and then it was off to the Mission home.  Of course there were a few thing we noticed right away, in this place that we are going to call home for the next 3 years....

They DO fly the Texas Flag at the same level as the American Flag

They allow "transplants" (more on that later) to ride their pink pigs or rather....hogs as we learned is the correct term

Running trails were a bit different than back in Kansas City....

  We were visualizing dust and tumbleweed but instead were pleasantly greeted with signs like these.....

nope, no tumbleweed here...Colleyville, Texas is a beautiful place and we are very excited, humbled and ready to serve where and how we are needed!
