To our delight, Alturas is a town that loves and plays baseball! Opening Day was today, and there were six fields with games constantly going from 10 – 6! In a town of 2500! There was one particularly adorable (if not now-very-sore) umpire!

| The game was 2.5 hours long! It's not like it's been 50 years since he's done this!!!! 💓 What we won't do to serve and meet new people and interact with them!!! |
This week we joined a zoom call for Craig’s grandson to open his mission call to Lubbock, TX. Craig is 6/6 for grandchildren going on missions! So blessed.
 |
| So taking a photo of the screen wasn't the best idea... Two missionaries out - 2 with calls - 2 RMs not pictured! |
In an attempt to create new ways to serve and maybe even have teaching opportunities I invited a High School girl who had sung in our Interfaith Choir to bring some friends for lunch. We live 3 doors from the school, so why not? The girls were just adorable and gracious. And definitely loved the monkey bread! I will do that again soon!

| I should never try to do selfies! Thank heaven for the ability to crop! |
I love participating with other religions in their worship services – I am so sad that every Church in Alturas has their Sunday meetings the same time ours meets. But the Baptist Church had a 6:00 Easter morning sunrise service around a fire pit, so I went and loved it!
 |
| Notice the moon above the trees? Pretty morning, but 25 degrees! |
In addition to our dear Betsy, we invited a lovely lady from the Branch to join our Easter dinner. Unfortunately, none of the food was really great, but the company was delightful!
 |
| When will I learn not to do selfies? |
It's inspiring to read what a difference you're making in that community. They're lucky to have you!
