We have a house!

We have a house to live in!  The Weatherford's evicted their tenants from a little house just around the corner from them just before they knew we needed a place to stay.  So, Tuesday, we were able to unload the car - which was very happy to be relieved from it's heavy burden.  It was starting to complain.  A sister in the ward wanted to get rid of a brass bed, so we inherited it and another sister had an extra mattress so just in case we have company we'll have a bed for them.  It's a cute little house.  We live next door to a policeman so we feel safe, and next door to a little restaurant that has great food just in case we don't want to cook.  The mission office brought us furniture on Thursday so we have spent the rest of the week getting settled. They brought us beautiful antique dresser, a couch which reclines on each end and a recliner chair.  We were glad they fit (just barely, but they fit).

It was really hard to start new with groceries, we had a hard time deciding what to get and it was very difficult buying things I have a pantry full of at home.  It really hit me how much we miss my canning, homegrown meat, and Tupperware to put flour and such in, especially when I pulled a can of green beans off the shelf to put in my cart - that was hard. 

This is our new home.  The address is 713 Hwy. 917 E., Latta, SC 29565 - just in case you feel the urge to send us some snail mail!  (hint, hint)
