3-31-24 So Boring here—NOT!

Another month has passed-- the rhythm of the mission continues-every 6 weeks-- missionaries leave, and new ones come. You would think that things would be the same, but they are not.

What stays the same? Love! Learning! Growing! With our beloved Savior at the helm-- guiding, directing, sending angels to bless and protect all of us here. So blessed to be here!

Our son and his family came down to visit! This is one of many photos in the Redwoods-- more to come.

( Descriptions will come before each group of photos.)

Elder Kennan installing a Tiwi -- a device that monitors the driving of the missionaries. The Hermana tech sisters teaching at MLC (mission Zone conference).

The Seniors got together for pizza. 2 of our APs (Assistants to the President) They had my phone and left me that photo! LoL! Hermanas Ward & Gundry came to visit us.

Dinner at the Quinn's for Incoming missionaries

New Missionary training

Some of us traveled to Vacaville to see "The Lamb of God" presentation. The missionaries serving there were there helping.

General Seventy Elder Kopischke and his wife visited-- we had 2 zone conferences- half one day half another. The crashed car was Sister Schneider's -- we were rear ended while stopped at a stop light. I was in the back right side. All of us sore, but alright.

It's always great to be with missionaries! Brother Izgrigg, the Lemons and the tech elders helped us with the cars at the west zones.

The Seniors at the Mission home.

While all the zones were together, we had a variety show! The The ZLs & STLs & SRs sang at the end. Such a great day!

Bennett Valley Ward Easter brunch

A beautiful ending to a beautiful month!

AND the icing on the cake??!!! One of our sons and family came to visit!!!❤️❤️❤️ They had a basketball tournament in Jerome, Idaho, then drove down.

We went to Howarth Park for a walk, then to the mission office, & celebrated Elder Kennan's birthday at our apartment.

We drove to the Redwoods on Monday 4-1-24-no joke!

Tues, April 2, after an overnighter at a hotel, we drove to the coast.

On April 3, they drove 11+ hours back to Utah; we drove 10 minutes back to work!

Thank you Heavenly Father for their safe return and for our blessing to serve here.

We are never bored! But always grateful!!
