A stop to stretch, just so happened to be Graceland. Surprise!!!


We all woke up at a very early time to leave for the mission project. Most of us arrived at 5:00 a.m. at the church except for Zeke coming in around 5:20 a.m. Everything went well and smooth until we hit Arkansas. It was flat, barren, and as far as I could tell, no human interaction. It was like this until we came upon Memphis, Tennessee. Tye and a few other people saw the exit to get off for Graceland. We decided it was a necessary stop on the way to Mississippi. We got a few pictures that show the whole group in front of a Graceland sign. We didn't want to spend anymore money than we had to so we did not go on a tour of Elvis's house. Yet we got a pictures of his house from what we could see. Once we got near the town we were surrounded by coniferous forests and most of us claimed we thought we saw a Sasquatch. After a 13 hour van ride we finally arrived in Philadelphia, Mississippi. We took a slight sight see around the reservation, unpacked and took a trip to Walmart. Since we got here July 4th we went and saw fireworks. Now I am going to bed because we have two church services to go to tommorow.
