PAGEANT Takes Over our life

After the Martyrdom commemoration, everyone's focus was on pageant season.  Starting with bringing all of the chairs from Carthage and setting them up at the Pageant stage.  But first, on Friday morning, President Lusvardi fixed a delicious breakfast for all of the  sisters who had worked in the sewing room this year.  It was so fun to see all of my sewing buddies together again - one last time. The next time we sew, Sister Hayhurst will be gone.

July is packed.

Which reminds me, our upstairs neighbors, the Bakers left on Friday as well, due to health issues.  I am very sad for them to go.  We ate together, played games together, and just enjoyed having each other around.  God bless them - this is their third mission and they need to go home and recover.  Elder Baker kept the condo project enthused. Sister Baker is just the most down to earth person I know.  We loved them and will miss them.

So here are some photos to finish up the month of June.

9 months and I finally saw a barge

The river has gone down.  If you remember this was surrounded by water at the beginning of the month.
