Special Delivery from my Family

MONDAY August 14th - Picking blackberries with the Dowlings
Followed by a piece of Sister Dowling's pie.  We picked some for Sister Dowling's future pies and took some home to eat - It reminds us of picking blackberries with Melissa's family in Washington.
Delicious!





Special Delivery - On Friday, I received a special gift from my family.  Flowers that I can enjoy before my birthday and a box of chocolates.  They are the best family a Mom could ever wish for.






















Goodbye to Elder and Sister Walk - Aug 17, 2017 - They served as Mission Leadership Support Missionaries and return home to Manti, Utah







We were thinking of Madi this week as she left for Utah Valley University on Thursday - We had fun talking to her on Wednesday before she left - Our love and prayers are with her as she starts this new adventure.




















We also received some pictures of Melissa and Eric's family as they spent a day at Disneyland together.  So glad they could spend time together at this magical place to make memories.











An overnight getaway to Wales
On Friday late afternoon, Elder Willmore and I left to drive to Wales.  We spent the night with Elder and Sister Richards, who are a senior couple serving in Milford Haven (Aberdaugledd).  They were so kind and we enjoyed time with them seeing the sites around Wales.  It was a beautiful sunny day on Saturday - which does not happen very often in Wales.
Friday evening in Swansea by the Atlantic - it was very windy and cold

Lydstep  - Carmarthen Bay



Tenby - Notice the boats in the background are sitting in the mud - the tide is out

The Richards are from Island Park, Idaho

Broad Haven on St Brides Bay






















Pembrokeshire Hedge - 

Today I used the "Hedge" as an analogy in my talk in Sacrament Meeting - they are on both sides of narrow roads.  These hedges are built by making a pile of rocks and then covering it with dirt and the plants and bushes grow on top. They are on all the country roads in Wales.  They took a lot of hard work and time to build.
