Elliot's new area: Noble-Purcell, Oklahoma

In his last email, Elliot told us that he was being transferred from Clinton, Oklahoma, to Noble-Purcell, Oklahoma, as part of the regular process of missionaries being transferred within their mission area, as I previously described on the blog.  I did a little checking to see what I could find about Elliot's new area and will share some of that here. 

Noble and Purcell are two separate towns south of Oklahoma City.  Noble is about 28 miles south of OKC, with Purcell another 11 miles further south.  Noble has 5,260 residents (as of the 2000 census), and Purcell has 5,571.  Both border the Canadian River and fall along the I-35/Highway 77 corridor. 

After the jump, check out some pictures, videos, and fun facts about Noble and Purcell, Oklahoma.
