Tennessee and Kentucky

The next couple of days we spend driving through Daniels mission. We started in Chattanooga where I got to see his old apartments, some of the places he went door to door, the church there, a great little park, and the city. While we were driving he told me lots of stories about who his companion was, people they taught, and crazy things that happened.
That night we headed up to where the mission home was. It was a really nice little city and someplace I would definitely feel at home. We went to a pizza place for dinner and had a pesto jerk chicken and pineapple pizza. It was so good and I want to recreate it someday. Then we went on a little drive to another area Daniel served and saw an incredible sunset.
The next morning we set our alarms wrong so when I woke up and saw that we were suppose to be on the road in 15 minutes things got a little crazy. We quickly got dressed and ate some breakfast and were on the road maybe 10 minutes late. We drove through other areas Daniel had served in TN. Then we went to Kentucky and stopped to see some people he taught and a member in the area. We were also able to stop by the small church in the area. It was fun to visit with a really nice family and their kids were really cute. Then we went to see a member in the ward and she fed us a delicious dinner. She was so spunky and fun and it was just a great afternoon visit.
We finished our day by driving to Charleston, WV to stay for the night so we could make it to Pittsburgh by the middle of the next day. Tennessee and Kentucky were really beautiful and different than I expected them to be. Something I have learned from this trip is that I have a lot of thoughts about what places should be like, the stereotype of a city, but I have found that lots of places aren't that different than what I know and many places are a lot nicer than I expect them to be.
Our last night in WV was kind of strange. After such a long trip it was weird to realize that we had accomplished everything we wanted to do and now we were heading home, in Pittsburgh. It was such a strange feeling but we were excited about what was ahead for us.
