Monday Aug. 4 (part 1)

Tennessee is so beautiful! This is at the Hermitage.These two are at General/President Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage. We went there last Prep Day.



This was my last District... it has since changed with the Transfer. Elder Rudy, Davidson, Tupou, Pearson, Parker and Anderson. Then me and Sister Smith.
The country music hall of fame. Can you see the piano keys? This building definitly shows some fun architecture!



This is the city scape of Nashville. I took a lot of pictures from the 27th floor of the batman building that you can see in this picture (far left). It was a miracle that we got to go up there. It is not open to the general public.
- The other two are pictures of the LP Stadium... Thacker's this is for you. We were going to get a tour of the inside because a member we knew works there. But it was a bad time. I did my best. : (



Loveless Cafe is famous. We drove to Nashville and ate there. Pretty good!




Wow! Things seem crazy out there in Utah! It looks like yall are having a fun time and are keeping yourselves busy. Thanks for all the updates, I really like hearing about the fam.

This week has been absolutely crazy! We have been everywhere with so many things going on. Thank you for keeping LeeAnn and Hunter in your prayers. We saw a little progression with her husband. They have some friends who are in our ward. Their son is Hunter's age. This member family invited them over for dinner and a mini FHE. It was such a good thing to do! The dad had a really good time and he saw a little glimpse into how an LDS family works. We have been helping LeeAnn understand the importance of prayer and faith. She wants to be baptised as a family. We figure if we can get her praying and doing all things that she needs to grow closer to God and strengthen her testimony, she will realize the importance of baptism for herself. Thank you for your prayers and fasting. It is really making a difference.

Missionary work is starting to get a little easier. The biggest stumbling block is myself. It if funny, most things in life that are difficult are only so because we make them that way. We are capable of doing anything that we set our minds to with the help of our Father in Heaven. He loves us so much! I see people who don't realize this: it is sad to do see how mixed up and confused they are. We visited a man last night that was so confused about his role in this life. The really sad part is that he was completely closed off to trusting or believing in anything, including our Savior Jesus Christ. I can not imagine going through life without that knowledge. We are all so lucky to know our relationship to God. We are His children. The amazing thing is, our primary children understand more on this concept than most intellectual men.

Well, now for the fun part. I will attach some pictures.
Love,
Sister Thacker

PS- Dad with you PLEASE talk to Larry? Are yall even talking to each other? He told me that you haven't even asked him about the car. I really want to sell that thing.
Mom - don't worry about my CDs. Just let them roll over. I will take care of them when I get home. The backyard is looking awesome! That is so cool that yall are finally getting your dream!
