May 18

Today was a pretty busy day. I met Mrs. Anita Williams this morning who is the absolute softest eighty-three the world has ever seen, and spunky and energetic enough to come up with a simile here... which I obviously don't have the energy for... let's just say she's really spunky and energetic. Then we went to the church and sorted through all of the stuff that has been donated for the upcoming garage sale. There were A LOT of boxes and it took about 3 hours to haul them all inside, repack them and hall them back out to the shed.

On a side note, I had my phone interview with Paul Scrabeck about the Dangerous Men Man Up Advanced Training and I will officially be going to Colorado right after I'm done here in Riggins.

After the the garage sale sorting at the church (of which I I will post a few pictures later, courtesy of Mrs. Judy) I met up with a guy named Mark here in town and met a few other people who go to the High School.... Jordan and Caleb Hackler, who seem really nice. I also got to see Hannah Cornforth who has evidently been anxiously awaiting my arrival. It was really nice to see the old faces and meet the new people, and I can't wait to get to know them all better.

After Mark showed me around the Assemblies of God Church, across the street, Pastor Jim, Mrs. Judy and I went to Mrs. Williams's to have dinner. She cooked us some great burgers and we talked about her recent trip to California and all sorts of other fun things.

I'll try to snap a picture of Mrs. Williams some time as well as the rest of them. Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds... particularly since Mrs. Williams is taking me to breakfast with all of her friends...
