When we arrived in Moreno Valley, we found that granddaughter, Lauren decided to marry her sweetheart, Eric Wood. It was a lovely day, the setting was beautiful and Lauren was gorgeous. They left the next day for their new home in Des Moines, Iowa.
Lunch with friends from Cypress First Ward - Nancy Whitaker, Carol Wynder, Jill Christensen, Linda Coleman, and Jamie Landua
Wayne wanted to see the town of Hyampom near Trinity Lake in Siskyou County (way up north). It is where his parents used to take him camping in the summer. It is exactly the same. Nothing has changed. We both enjoyed the drive and the views.
This is the oldest continuously operating Joss House in California. It was built by Chinese immigrants as a place of worship. It combines Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Inside there are shrines and people come to pay homage to individuals and principles that they believe will make them better people. The Joss House is in Weaverville.
This is the gorgeous country we drove through in Siskyou County.
We are serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the West Indies. It is the biggest adventure of our lives. We have six children and 16 grandchildren whom we dearly love and miss. But, with their support, we are serving the Lord. There is a need for other senior couples in the West Indies.
