You should contact Pastor Cody Cochran at the Bethel Assembly Church on your trip to Anson. He is a genuine cowboy who can preach the paint off the walls, ride the hair off a horse with a wife who can easily pop the strings off her fiddle with any type of music!! They have 2 sons who are following in their daddy's footsteps! Young whipershappers molding into Christian cowboys themselves! This family is a top role model for your road tip!
