Wards crashed out because she had just returned from the States from a death emergency. Came home and a few minutes later I really got a SHOCK. Elder Parker was here and I was being moved out.

Went to the dentist and got straightened around. Then we went to the airport and I waited 4 hrs for a cancellation so I could fly out. I arrived in Miami and I missed the plain to Orlando so I called the Elders and they took me to the bus and I waited 4 more hrs for a bus. I arrive in Orlando at 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Slept for a while. Got up and went to church mtgs. Saw Gaineys and ate dinner with them and had a real nice visit. Also with the Rikards. Was a real good day.

Slept in. I was rather ill this morning. Messed around. Pres. Winder informed me I was going to Tampa instead of Pensecola at breakfast. Went back to bed. Then Pres. Winder came out and informed me I was going to Panama City so Elder Earl Humphrey, he was also going to P.C. and I took off in a rambler. We had a real good trip. We stopped in Perry, Fla. And visited some people because E. Humphrey had labored there. We arrived in P.C. at 3:00 a.m. and I was rather beat. Slept in the next day.

Elder Barlow has been sick and also myself. We haven’t really accomplished much. We have worked in the area some and have picked up a few people. On Tues. the 23rd I received a transfer to Valdosta, Ga to labor with Elder Kent Jepperson. On the 24th we ate at Sis. Heath and man it was good.
Feb 25, 1965
I boarded a Trailways this morning for Valdosta. Studied on the bus, 1st time. Arrived on Valdosta at 4:30 pm and Elder Jepperson met me. Came to the apt. and changed clothes and headed for an app. with the Harris family. Quite a disc. (1st). He doesn’t really know if there is a God. Then we gave the Palmers the 4th and they are real good. Came home and unpacked. It is rather on the chilly side and I mean cold. I’m really froze.
Feb. 26, 1965
It’s still cold as a bear. Visited contacts most of day. Went to Waycross to interview for baptism. I got my first experience at interviewing. We returning and gave Toms the 6th. They are procrastinating a little.

Feb. 28, 1965
Went to church mtgs. This morning. Laid around all afternoon mostly, attempting to get feeling better. Went to Sac. Mtg. Was called on by surprise to say a few words. There we went to Hahari to administer to Jeff Palmer, who is sick. Returned home.
Mar. 1, 1965
Did regular D-Day chores. Then we went bowling. Gave the Plaags the 2nd. They aren’t overly enthused. Then we went and argued with Mr. Harris for an hour. Man, what a character. Oh well.

Have met and set up appointments with some new people. Been sick a couple days so we really haven’t done too much. Gave Glenda Thompson the 1st. Not real hot. Parrott crashed. Gave Palmers the 5th on Thurs. and the 6th on Friday. Fri night Bro. Palmer said he didn’t feel ready yet. Didn’t really know why. We started a fast and prayed he’d change his mind, but he hadn’t. Sister Palmer wants to wait for him. Next week. Stated in bed all day Sat. Feeling right smart (illegible).

We received a call this morning informing us the Assistants (Webb and Evans) were coming. Well low and behold Pres. Winder was with them all so, man, were we ever surprised. He just visited for a while and went on his merry way. That afternoon we went to Waycross and traded companions. Elder Orton is with me for a couple days.
Tracted some, looked up new move-ins. Talked with Palmers. They were here in town. Went to branch mtg. Funny as usual. Richardsen crashed out completely. Said they were going back to the Baptist church. Couple other app. crashed also.
