Ice Cream Drive!

Elder Gibson, had a craving for Ice Cream, so we went into a little town called Shidler, they have a very small gas station with some small Ice Cream selections.
We saw a few fun things on the way!
We stopped in Grainola, Oklahoma, Sister Timus told me about a cool building so we're going to check it out.

A Break From Work

No supplies, so no work today, and all work is caught up, so the Elder's decided today we could play, and work on Saturday!  So Elder Gibson and I are off to another adventure, today we are headed to Tallgrass Prairie and Pawhuska!  Enjoy the photo's.  We had a great day!

This Box Turtle says " Have a nice day!"

We stopped at the Court House to visit with Elder and Sister Patterson, they were recently called to serve a mission in Pawhuska, Osage County, Oklahoma, as Record Preservation missionaries!
They invited us to stop in an see them, so today was a great day to do that.  They take images of school record, and then off to SLC, UT, to be prepared for our indexer's.

This is their worktable with camera and computer set up.

Sister and Elder Patterson

They allowed me to take some photo images.

Maybe one day I can serve a mission like this one!!

Sister Patterson explains the process of changing the record to be photographed.

They have indexed over 8000 images and they just started their mission!

We had a wonderful visit with the Patterson's we are kindred spirits.  We hope to see them again!
