Well it happened…the impossible…we got Jonny and Laura to travel to the far state of Washington!! Yay! The wonderful Michelle and Jeff Fowler traveled with them and we had a lovely visit.
The weather was perfect and we took them around to our usual favorite spots…the lookout over the valley, Hanks Road thru all the fields, the Coates to experience the horses, Ranch&Home in Tri-Cities, to dinner at some of the “friends”, and the then we took them to our favorite favorite place….Paradise. (Mount Rainier, that is) New friends were made and new places seen. So…who’s next? 🤔😁

This month we had company from Charleston,(Tom and Barbara Gasque) and took a ride up to Mt Rainier, our circuit assembly about Boldness, and the big event of the year for the small town of Prosser, the balloon rally.
I do believe the Lowcountry dwellers from Charleston enjoyed going to Paradise. 😉 That is the name of the place where you can get up close to Mt Rainier. It was a lovely day with these unusual mushroom clouds hanging over the mountain. I guess not so unusual here, it happens frequently.
But going in service this month with all our new pioneers was the best thing about this month! Everyone is pumped up and ready to go! Even if during the week we find lots of not at homes, we enjoy being together…and the occasional treat of seeing baby kittens!
I got to love on them!😻
The assembly was awesome! So encouraging and went right along with the summer conventions.

So then came the Balloon rally…so cool. They try to sent up balloons for 3 days weather permitting. One sister got to take a ride up in one and sent me some pictures!
the early morning on Sunday we joined some others on the field. But the weather was not cooperating so they just blew up a couple and kept them teathered to the ground.

Little guy in our congregation was very impressed!
Afterwards we walked downtown to see a street fair and sidewalk art. That’s one of the young sisters in the Hall. Quite the artist!
So all in all a busy month…going in service and loving the friends.😍
