Happy Mother's Day (since we didn't mention it below!)

One of the ongoing blessings from our Interfaith Easter Choir is the close friendships we made with fellow Christians from other Churches.  This week we were asked by two members from other congregations to pray for them and their VERY serious health issues.  We are blessed by their faith, and have not only prayed for them but have put their names on the prayer roll in the Temple, and have had the opportunity to explain to them that blessing.  Such dear people!

As we continue to beat the bushes for people to teach, we also do what we can to serve while endeavoring to help the relations between some members of the community and our Church.  A few examples: On Monday we helped clean the local museum.  It has amazing historical items – I should have taken the picture when Craig was dusting off old phonograph machines or the iron lung!  On Saturday I accepted the invitation to go with my next-door neighbor to her Church for a painting class that she teaches.

They were sure grateful for such a tall volunteer!!!

Don't judge the hair - I had just sat through 2 hours of wind and
hail in 37 degree weather as Craig umpired Little League!

I had to make the map below of the area we are responsible for covering and decided to share it with you, since we always talk about these different places.  The white boxes show the mileage one way from our house.  (Betsy lives north between Davis Creek and Fairport, and is moving south by McArthur.  The other fellow we teach at least once a week lives in Eagleville.)  These are little 2-lane highways, a lot of them mountainous and some dirt roads.  The drives can be tedious, but they are so worth it when we can testify of Jesus Christ and help people come closer to Him.

I should have marked Alturas better!  It's in the middle between the "41" mile signs.
Not pictured - Klamath Falls, where we are required to go every few weeks
is NW, 90 miles.  And Lakeview, where we have been visiting a member twice
a week, is 53 miles.  Sad note - the lakes shown are TOTALLY dry. 

We have SO many nature pictures to choose from this week, but this one wins.  We were driving home from Betsy’s and I saw this view in a canyon off to the left so I and whipped around and went into the canyon and got this!
