Pull out your Maps for this one. Elder Jose is no longer in Tennessee. I am covering Powell Valley in Virginia, "Coal Mine Country". I am staying in a trailer in a small town called Wise, and our Area covers 4 Counties. Elder Dupaix (from West Jordan, UT) and I are clear out in the Boonies! I have to admit though that the scenery is amazing! Do you remember the pictures I sent you from Alcoa, they are nothing compared to this. It is considerably colder here; fortunately I have all my winter gear with me. The ward is pretty small, but the members are amazing, and the general consensus of the people here seems to be considerably more friendly than my last two areas. Sorry there is not a lot to write about at the moment, but I am still learning about my new area so I will keep you informed. In the meantime,
Thank you for your letters and e-mails. I love you all.Elder Jose
